Show CINCINNATI IS ONE GAME NEARER WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP; UTAH'S BESV SEI FORTH IS EXHIBITS Beehive Empire's Progress Prog-ress in Agriculture, Art, Commerce and Manufacturing Manu-facturing Is Shown. Exposition Finest in History His-tory and Holiday Atmosphere At-mosphere Is Especially Pronounced First Day. j A cross section of Utah is displayed at ' the state fair grounds this week. The , state's varied riches and its many in-j tenests are shown in a series of exhibits j I which tell completely the story of tltah's progress In agriculture, manufacturing, commerce, education and art. As more persons attended the opening of the forty-first annual fair yesterday than ever attended other first days, so ! these saw exhibits that were better, not .only in quality, but in quantity and variety varie-ty as well. Official estimates of, the first day's attendance put the figures at 7500. It did not take the state fair officials , to tell that this year's fair surpasses its ! predecessors, for opinion on that score 1 was unanimous among the thousands who j yesterday went out to st their first j gllpme of what it offers. FETE SPIRIT IS STRONGLY EVIDENT. ! The formal opening was at noon, but it 1 was formal only in the great burst of music from all the bands on the grounds, for the forty-first annual fair needed no set speeches to tell the visitors what It is. The fair speaks for Itself, and it speaks a thousand tongues of interest. With pennants streaming in the refreshing re-freshing autumn breeze, bands playing about the grounds, tents up and midway going full blast, the' carnival air about the fair this year gives that holiday atmosphere atmos-phere without which a fair is rather dull, i The exhibit buildings are crammed with a wealth of showings which range from the blooded stock of the cattle sheds to the delicate beauty of many of the ait contributions. I ALL OF RESOURCES ARE REPRESENTED. ! To mention what is shown would be a ; recital simply of what Utah produces; i and, while to the casual observer that might mean quite a goodly number of things, one can readily get no adequate conception of what Is of&ered at the state fair grounds without seeing it. And then a single visit, a single afternoon and evening eve-ning give one opportunity to gain but a superficial idea of some of the outstanding outstand-ing features. The horticultural building is a revelation revela-tion in itself. And, as President C. W. Winder said yesterday, "If one is to select from all the things which the fair offers that which is the best, I should call the exhibit of the counties in the horticultural building the finest thing of the rair. HORTICULTURE IS WELL DISPLAYED. "There has been gathered the very best that the principal counties of the state have to offer. There we can find in little compass and beautifully arranged the best products of the state assembled. It is difficult, of course, to say that this or that excels, but there is no question in my mind that the horticultural building has the finest exhibits of this fair." All of the largest counties have put their best products forward in the exhibits ex-hibits of Uils building, with Utah county having the place of honor opposite the main entrance, with a symmetrical pavilion pa-vilion under which are placed with artistic artis-tic appreciatiln the best from the farms of the county. Washington county offers one of the most unique of these exhibits with a map of the state set off by grapes of many colnrp through which threads the Arrow-lien Arrow-lien d trail from Salt Uake south and west Sugar cane and cotton are found there loo. whllenear by are the frost-tipped apples of the northern rountlos, and here and there in the building the articles arti-cles whtch all the counties in between most pride themselves on producing.
