1 DOUGLAS, Oct. 11.-On the eve of the greatest fair ever held in Cochise county or southern Arizona, Douglas 1 is today in gala attire and by tomorrow morning everything will be in readi- ness to welcome the throngs that will pour into the city. This afternoon the last finishing touches are being put on, and when the fair is thrown open to the public it will present a scene that will be a surprise and de- l light to the thousands of visitors.
 The fair grounds this afternoon looks like a miniature city, with hun dreds of persons whipping things into shape for the opening tomorrow. Flags and pennants adOrn the entrance to grounds and the exterior and interior of the numerous exhibit buildings. Load after load of exhibits of every description are being installed, and dec I orators and wirkmen of all kinds are i adding the last touch that will make the fair thing of beauty.
 Fat Race Track | The mile race track, under the di- T rection of Harry Clark and County !, Engineer Sid Smith, has been made into what is probably the fastest mile stretch in Arizona, and when the bar i rier is dropped on the horse races tomorrow afternoon if some new speed records for this section ore not hung up it will not be the fault of the track. When the horse races are done gangs of expert road men will begin putting the track into shape for the contests of the automobile speed demons on Saturday afternoon.
