Show MANY ATTRACTIONS PROMISED AT STATE FAIR THIS SEASON The Utah State Fair of 1931, to open Oct. 3, with all its varied attractions at-tractions and exhibits in many department de-partment many of them new to Utah's fair will be, in one particular department, the largest and finest ever held in this state. Reference is made to the livestock exhibits which, from present indications, indica-tions, will far surpass any previous Utah expositions. Manager Ernest S. Holmes of the State Fair association assoc-iation has received assurance of exhibits ex-hibits of prize stock that will fill to capacity the fine stock barns and enclosures. en-closures. One of She outstanding features will be the western regional show of the American Jersey Cattle Club, which will bring entries from the Pacific Pa-cific Coast, the Northwest and other western states to compete with the Intermountain cattle. Prize awards, in cash, will be larger this year than before, according to Mr. Holmes, while the judging will be by nationally nation-ally known experts. Of special interest to experts and fanciers of livestock is the conversion of the main floor of the big coliseum into1 -a judging arena. Carpenters are now at work building boxes and seats to accomodate about 2,000 spectators. spec-tators. The arena will be splendidly lighted, day and night, and the floor will be covered with tanbark. The indoor judging will avoid the unpleasan features of outdoor com petition and will be an added attraction attrac-tion for spectators. The arena is so large that two or three classes of cattle or horses can be judged at the same time. The arena will also be the scene of the horse show to be held the last two nights of fair week. Some of the finest blooded horses of Utah and Idaho will be entered, together with fine animals from the U. S. Army remount re-mount station and military posts. Added to the exhibit of saddle horses and driving horses will be some fine Utah polo ponies. i In connection with the expected record-breaking exhibits of livestock, Manager Holmes again urges prospective pros-pective Utah exhibitors to send in their entry blanks without further delay, in order that accomodations may be arranged for all exhibits. This is especially urgent because of the unusual number of exhibits from other oth-er states, already entered or promised. promis-ed. Entry blanks are already in the hands of former exhibitors, or may be obtained from the county agents, all banks, or direct from the Stale Fair board. There will be features of interest and amusement for everyone new features, of distinct profit from a technical and industrial standpoint, or providing a new thrill in entertainment, entertain-ment, i |
