The directors of the Utah State fair, which came to a close Saturday night, are more than pleased with this year's exposition. All previous records for attendance, number num-ber of exhibits, quantity or livestock, cattle and horses, excellent racing, and freedom from accident and friction fric-tion were broken this year. The exhibits ex-hibits were fully 50 per cent In advance ad-vance of those of last year, both as regards quantity and quality. It I estimated that 22,000 people passe I through the gates on closing day, but the banner day was Thurnday, when President Taft addressed more than 50,000 people at the fair grounds. Almost Al-most every county In the state was represented In some form of exhibit, nnd the productiveness of Utah was exemplified in a manner that must have proven a veritable revelation to visitors. |
