n. NJ. State Fair Biggest Ever

Albuquerque n. NJ, Sept. 22-i
The biggest order for tents ever re-
ceived by manufacturers in Denver
was the one placed last week by
Secretary r. w. Wiley on behalf of
the New Mexico state fair to be held
in Albuquerque from October If tOl
October l6 These tents, it must be
remembered, are not bought, but are
rented for the week of the fair,
on account of the destruction of the
fair buildings by fire some time ago
They thought | was crazy when
| told them what wanted said Mr.
Wiley in describing his experience
with the Denver tent men. For a
long time | couldn't make them be
lieve that the fair management was
actually willing to spend all that
money in order to give the people
of New Mexico the best state fair
that they had ever seem How
ever, the order will be filled, and the
visitors to albuquerque during the
fair will see perhaps the most re-
markable spread of canvas ever eX-
hibited anywhere in the United
States This in itself will be a.
spectacular feature that would be
hard to surpass.
The sale ofboXes for the fair has
been one of the most encouraging
incidents connected with the man
agement of the big enterprise. Let
ters were sent out to a number Of
prominent business men in every
part of the state Offering the fair
boxes for sale at fifty dollars each.
1t was not pretended that this sum
represented the value of the boxes
to those who We're asked to purchase
them. The offer was simply in the
nature of an appeal to the public
spirit of the citizens of New Mexico
to test their loyalty and enthusiasm
for big enterprise, being undertake
en- for the benefit of the people
of the entire state. The result has
surpassed all expectations. Nine
teen boxes have been sCld and the
returns are not all in.
The fair officials are now getting
ready for the big pageant and cere-
mOnial that is to mark the opening
day of the big show. Governor Nc
Donald, United States Senators Cat
ron and Fall, Congressman b. c..
Hernandez, all of the state house
officials and every district Judge and
district attorney in New Mexico are
to be extended a special invitation to
take part in the opening day ceTe-
monies, and the occasion bids fair
to be one of the most notable ones
in the history of the state
The appointment of NJ. E. Hickey,
of Albuquerque, as Grand Marshal
of the Day was announced last week
and was received with qualification
by all those Interested in the fair
Mr.. Hickey, who is widely known
J throughout the state, is a man of
! wide experience and splendid eX-
ecutive ability. In the discharge of
his duties he will have complete
control of the fair grounds and OF
all the programs taking place in
front of the grandstand. The selec-
ton is considered a most happy one
