Arizona republican., 1920-11-09


 Thousands of people from every part of the state attended the opening day of the sixteenth annual Arizona state fair yesterday, there to see decidedly interesting program of entertainment and large array of exhibits of every sort. While the attendance did not break any previous records, 1t was large, and is expected to be larger on succeeding days. the peak probably coming the last two or three days of the week.
 The sports events of the opening day took place before a grandstand prac- tically completely filled, with the ex- ception of the reserved seat sections, which were hardly half full. The days program, with it's three harness and five running races and numerous cow boy events. proved a good one, while of equal interest were the many exhibits which attracted attention throughout the day.
 The forced lading of his airplane early yesterday afternoon prevented l ~CannonbaIr' Sanders from changing planes in mid air without the use of ropes or ladders. The accident took place soon after Sanders had taken the air, engine trouble forcing the plane down outside the grounds after Sand CTS had walked about the wings. stood on the upper wing, and performed sim l liar stunts for a short time. However. the aerial daredevil returned to the field and shortly after 430 o'clock made his sensational parachute jump from an- other airplane, the Barr Flying circus having four at the fair.
