EXHIBITS REMOVED, FAIR
 GROUNDS ARE DESERTED

If the Sunday that ushered in the Eleventh Annual Arizona Fair was rightly called preparation day" yes terday could just as well and aptly be called packing day, for what of packing remained, after the close of the great fair on Saturday evening, was done yesterday and this morning the fair grounds presents q scene such as if a cyclone had passed through. Here and there are irregular piles of trash representing the site of some concession or other. or else where a t-rniVal attraction has been packing for the long journey to Fl Paso for winter. Wonder are the fence posts and the rails that were taken down to give greater safety to the drivers in the motorcycle and automobile races. then there is dust on the walks dust in the driveways. dust and trash in the buiIdings-plenty of work for the ground force for a month-in getting rid of the marks of the most successful fair that has ever been held on the old grounds on the Glen dale pike.
 over in the pig stys. sneep pens, and cattle stalls, nothing remains but the evidences of recent occupation. Everything has been gotten away in record time. Yesterday the last out of town entry for ,he fair was sent on his or her way rejoicing, a feat that has not heretofore been accomplished in the history of the fair. The office organization this year has been such that nearly every one was paid off and ready to start by midnight Sat LII day night. and by yesterday even ing only those who could not get away sooner remained.
 Yes there were plenty of tired of ficials and employees yesterday The weeks of preparation followed by the one week of incessant sleepless toll to make the fair success were followed by at least one day of relaxation. Yet there is still plenty to do. and this work will be taken up down town to- day and fought continuously until it is finished SThe whole office force and equipment was moved down town yesterday. and today will see another week of hard work entered upon be- fore the work of the fair can be called closed.
 Satisfaction is the key note of all however for the fair has been a sue cess. Tn every department it was larger both in point of the exhibits and the activities displayed. It must be remembered that this year the county exhibits alone in the agricul turaI department occupied fifty per cent more space than at any previous year. Every department was en- larged to accommodate an increasing demand for space and then it was .S1;~oo1-araA ct CnlllH have been used to advantage. The agricultural building was cramped this year in spite of added space, and the demand for Q building to hold these exhibits. alone is becoming more in sistent It is not unlikely also that before another year rolls around there will be a Maricopa county build ing at the fair ground. for the exhibit from this county is growing bigger all the time.
 The innovations did well. The Cafe teria was so well patronized that many were perforce turned away; the food product and the automobile shows were well patronized. The dairy building was ever the most popular on the grounds, while the cat tie stalls proved inadequate to ac- commodate the stock that was on dis pity. Altogether the far was sure success, especially when it was con sidered what the outlook was three months ago; and what opposition there was encountered at that time
 However it has now all passed. Arizona has once more VindIcated herself; the counties have proven that they realibze their allegiance to the state, and all responded nobly to the call for an exhibition of that which they could in the fullness of their experience best show to the world as worthy products of their respective sections. The satisfaction in the achievement of the past must now give way to the hope and deter imitation that in the coming year a still greater fair will be prepared for and carried to the same successful completion that has characterized this
