UTAH STATE FAIR
OPENS SATURDAY
Grounds and Accommodation in Bet
ter Condition than Ever Before in
History of the Utah State Fair.

will be thrown open.
From the activity which is now en-
livening every corner of the grounds,
there is no question that the EXPOSE
ton will be ready.
A number of changes at the grounds
will greet the visitors this year.
Besides the regular lighting system
which has been used heretofore, all
of the grounds and buildings will be
flooded with light from projectors.
Great effort is being expended this
year to make the exposition attractive
during the. evening.
The new concession stands are prac-
tically complete. They are so ar
ranged as to be easily accessible to
the crowds and yet not obstruct the
traffic
New drinking fountains have been
installed at convenient points over the
grounds. Probably the most accept
able addition will be the new comfort
stations which are now complete.
President w. S. Romney is taking
every precaution against mud or dust
which heretofore have been great an
noyances at the state fairs. Gravel
and cinders have been placed on all
low places and the walks between the
sheds and buildings have been graded
up.
Education to be Featured.
One Of the first changes that will
greet the visitors is the prominence
of the educational features. The
State University will occupy an en-
tire building for the first time. The
Salt Lake City and County public
schools also occupy separate build
ing. The Boys and Girls Club School
will be a distinct innovation. Mem
bership in this school is obtained by
successful competition, the require
ments being that the successful COM
petitor shall win first place in club
work in his or her county, school dis
trict or city, and that samples of his
or her work and record be exhibited
at the State Fair.
The daily routine will be somewhat
of the military order. Certain regula-
tions will be required as to time of
rising and retiring, general deport-
ment, hours for meals, etc.

Big Demand for Exhibition Space.
Secretary Ensign reports the de-
mand for exhibition space this year
exceeds all past experience. The man
ufacturers' building is filled to capac-
ity and reservations have been made
for practically all of the available
area on the grounds.
There is great interest this year in
agricultural implements such as trac-
tors. This probably is due to the in
terest that has been taken in stimulat-
ing increased production of grain.
One of the noteworthy items is the
increased interest on the part Of live
stock exhibitors, not only from Utah,
but also from every inter-mountain
state. Some of the finest stock from
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, and Wy
oming will be in the competitions.
Entertainment Features.
The entertainment features will be
of equal interest. The vaudeville
numbers include MARITIME Brothers
tumbling artists; the Beni-Zug- Zug
troupe, group of ten Syrian aero
bats of distinction; Thalero's Circus
a unique dog, monkey and pony exhi-
bition; the Six Flying Lamys, out
door aerial artists; the Belgian Five
Feres, DeKock, who are said to be
unexcelled for their acts of muscular
dexterity.
Auto Polo between the English and
American teams, which made such a
