 ABUNDANCE OF SPORTS
(From Fridays Daily.)

ern Arizona Fair races are the larg est offered for any like meet in Ari zona or New Mexico for 1915. Thi in itself will induce a great many O the faster horses to appear on tht l Prescott track. Prescott is on a di rect line between Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the new State Fail is held, and Phoenix, and the date: are so fixed as not to conflict witt any other racing meet. Races from quarter to five-eighths miles vii be run daily, thus giving the local horses chance at the money. A: in all big meets, there will be no en trance fee for any of the events, but , per cent will be deducted from the winners of the races. This gives every horse good chance to. start and the winner of third place can come out with few dollars Purses are divided as follows: First, 60 per cent; second, 25 per cent; third, Is per cent. No purse in the running races will be under SIPS. Two consoI- ation races on the last day of the fair give every man chance for money. It is estimated that at least 60 head of horses in New Mexico and Arizona will be on hand to par ticipate in the Northern Arizona Fair and with plenty of time left to make the other meets.
 Local horsemen who have signified their intention of entering the cow horse race for one-half mile are: Or vile Glenn, Walnut Grove; Henry Ritter, Hillside; A. Stapps, Kirkland; Van Dickson, Kirkland; Sterling Hummer, Seligman; Shorty Davis, Prescott; Mabry Gardner, Camp Yer de; Mrs. Nellie McDaniels, Seligman; Garlic Evans, Kirkland and Jim Col fins, of Phoenix. All horses except those that are actual race horses are eligible to enter this class.
 A novelty COW horse race will be run, the money to be given at each eighth. This race has never been pulled off here before. Six horses have been entered in this race and keen rivalry is manifested over the outcome. The purse will be $1O0.
 In the quartermile free-for-a1i with purse of $2OO the following entries have been made: Mrs. Maxwell Winslow, enters Trick Tack; Shar- key, of Wilcox, "Pancho"; Frank Thompson, Blythe, California, Star; Walter Cline, Baby Mack; Mabry Gardner, Camp Verde, Blue Eyes; "Possum,' House Party" and "Hes- itate' may also be entered; Bards- man, of Winslow, will enter Blue Jay"
 It is expected that Dr. T. B. Moots, Of Juarez, will enter Forge" the horse that went to the brackets in Juarez every time he was asked. Gordon Russell" winner of the Gov ernor's Derby at the State Fair last tall; Bar Sac" who started at Ha- vana 16 times and won Il brackets; Doctor Smoots," Travis" Queen of Hearts" all of Albuquerque, are a few of the better known horses that may compete in the Northern Arizona Fair races.
 Among the special features at the track this year will be the appearance of the Diving Ponies," owned and trained by Doc Pardee. These are the only diving broncs in the world, most Of the other horses appearing in such stunts not being outlaws. The two ponies make clean jumps, the distance being 36 feet. Doc says they go up and jump off without being coaxed, just like a Los Angeles girl to the beaches.
 The general impression among To- cal horsemen seems to be that the program offered by the Northern Arizona Fair Association will be the best track meet in the Southwest, in fact it Is speed carnival for short horses. Following is the program, which has been prepared by Arena Director Pardee, and which will be carried out with but few changes:
