ADJUSTMENTS A SPECIALITY

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sept. 2S.--Ths
big amusement features of the next
state fair will surpass in magnitude
and excellence anything that has ever
been known in this section of the
country. While the fair Is based pri-
marily on the development Of the re-
sources Of every county in the state,
the management has not lost sight OF
the fact that the people want to be en-
tertained, and there will not be dull
moment for visitors from early Mon
day morning until the lights are put
out Saturday night.
In the first place, there will be 8
bands, all of them Of high caliber and
several of them of national reputa-
ton. What it means to have the best
bands obtainable playing all the time
what a spirit Of enthusiasm and
merriment IL puts into the minds and
hearts of the crowd, only those who
have experienced the sensation can
appreciate. But the bands will not
he the only or greatest of the pleas
ures of the fair. The shows at the
grounds and especially the night show
will hold the rapt attention of the
thousands of visitors to the fair and
beyond all doubt will be the greases,
draw ing care ever presented TO tho
New Mexico public.
No better horse racing has ever
been seen in the west than that which
will take place on the track at Trac-
tion park. So great was the interest
shown In the race program among the
big horsemen at the Colorado fair that
the first thing Secretary Wiley found
10 necessary TO do on his return from
Cabelo after visiting that fair was
to increase the stable facilities orig
inally provided, which were larger
than any that had been deemed no
cessary at any previous fair. AT
night an elaborate fireworks displa,
will be shown; there will be sword
dancing, an Illuminated horse show,
Interpretation of modern dancing, an
illuminated balloon ascension and a
parachute drop, the big midway at
fractions, n society vaudeville and all
the other sensations that go to give
real thrills to pleasure-loving peo-
pie.
Interest in craftsmanship has been
given decided impetus by the an
nouncement that state shoot will be
held in Albuquerque during the fair,
during which prizes will be given for
individuals, club and team champion
ship competitions. There are nine,
teen rifle clubs in New Mexico, in.
cluding in their membership some of
the best shots in the United States,
and II is the intention at the time of
holding this shoot to form a state
organization of rifle clubs that will
give mathes at stated times at diff
ferent points in the state. All who
are interested in rifle shooting should
write to II. c. Miller, box $50, Albu-
querque, who is the secretary in full
charge of the shoot.
The boys and girls club, under the
direction of j. II. Toulouse, has as
sumed such proportions that it was
Pounds necessary TO call Mr.. Toul-
ouse in from his canvassing trip, as
there was danger that larger crowd
would be present than il would be
possible TO accommodate. There win
be at least two hundred boys and as
many girls at this encampment, repre-
senting nearly every county in the
state. Lectures will be given them
by members of the faculty of the ae-
ricultural college and by a represent
ative of the United States Depart
ment Of agricultural and everything
possible will be done for their in.

they are in Albuquerque.
