Pavilion We'll Filled With Exhibits;
Stock Show Promises Record En-
tries Three Days Racing With
Fine Agricultural Exhibition

Today the Nevada State Fair opens
in this city. The event should result
in much good to The county and the
NeWlands project as while some out
side stock and other exhibits arr
made, the major assembling of pro-
ducts and live stock comes from this
county or section.
The work of the fair committee
in strengthening out the many tangles
that came up before definite word
was given to go, deserves much cred
It. 1t has been a case of hurry up
since the deeds have been trans
ferred and other preliminaries set
tied. Cerdit is due to considerable
extent to George Wlngfield. who has
Der of matters.
Three Days
Three days, September II, 13 and
IA have been set aside for the show.
As a matter of exhibition the fair
is held to show the people and visit
ors what is possible in the way o.
agriculture, stock raising, dairying,
domestic science and other branches
of arts and trades that abound :n
this section of Nevada.
The Big Day
While Wednesday will be filled
with events and will start the ball
rolling, Thursday should bring IN
the crowd as 1t will be filled with
feature events.
On that day auto races, horse
races and the boxing contest In the
evening with a wind up with big
dance gives some idea of what is In
store.
Horse Racing
During the three days there will
be horse racing held at the local
track and from the entries that arc
promised It will be one of the live
lest race meetings ever held in tho
county. as the horses are the pick

most of the animals are on their way
to the coast for the big winter meet
ct the bay.

ncing about Rattlesnake hill. and
that course has been put into exec
lent condition for the event. l.. {.

nounced their intention of being II
the meet. Records will be hung NJ
IS the track is fast and In the best
sort of condition.
Attractions On the Way
A number of entertainment attrae-
tions have been set up for the three

and a fair without some side shows
would be pretty tame.
