H i cooooooooooooo oooooooooooooo B Nearly three thousand persons at- tended the International Four-State H fair and International Sheep show yes- M tordav nnd witnessed three sensation- H al flights by Aviator Charles P. Wal- H sh in his Curtiss Military biplane in H ' addition to seeing the greatest fair H exhibit in the history of the city. M Comments of spectators and nil M other indications point to one of the H most successful fairs that Ogden has H ever had. The attractions which have H been gathered by the fair association H for this year's show eo far exceed fl those of any previous years that a H niuch larger attendance is warranted B than any preceding meet. Starting fl under unfavorable weather condi- M tibns the first threo days of the fair H have shown a very satisfactory gato H receipts. H One of the most encouraging fea-Hj fea-Hj turcs the opening days of the fair is M tLe large number of out-of-town peo-M peo-M lf who are in attendance. While the greater number of outsldo visl-H visl-H tors to the fair will attend during tho early part of this week, many people from the northern part of Utah and H fiom Wyoming and Idaho have al-H al-H ready arrived in Ogden and a notice-H notice-H able number of them were on the M grounds yesterday. 1 Walsh Gives Three Flights. H The biggest attraction on the H grounds was undoubtedly the aero. H plane flights of Walsh, but conquest H of the air in no way detracted from H the many agricultural and horticultural horticultu-ral ral exhibits and there were some who M missed seeing the flight of the bird-M bird-M man lcausc of their interest In other M things. Tho statements of many sheep M men might be given as evidence that H the present sheep show Is the largest H and finest that has ever been seen M in the intermountain country. The H fruit exhibit calls for comments that H seem exaggerations to those who have H not seen it. Many persons spent an B hour in this department of the fair m alone and vouchsafe that there never M v.ns d finer collection of fruit ever B brought together anywhere. H The exhibits of cattle, horses, pigs, H and poultry are all a little better than H at any other fair, or at least they H. scorn to be. E. A. Stanton, of Omaha, H who is on tflo grounds representing H the Twentieth Century Farmer and H tho Omaha Bee, states that no othci H fair which ho has attended this sea-H sea-H sou compares with the Four-Sthto M fair in the quality of their exhibits. H Ogden Band's- Big Hit. H Tho music furnished by the Ogdon H City band proves that the fair man-H man-H agement made no mistake in employ- mi nig uio iuuui musicians r.nner muu H Don Phllllpplnl aggregation. The fl Italian band, while it lias a larger H instrumentation, would hardly havo H teen worth the differenco in cost and Hj the" Ogden musicians are certainly M filling the musical end of tho hill. H Numerous small private attractions Hj arc on tho giound and arc receiving H their share of the patronage. These K small shows includo every hind of at- H traction from a "baby rack" to a worn- Hl an who never talks. This freakish Hl woman Is petrified .and, according to Ht ' the oxhll5ltors, was found in tho Klon- H' dike region of Alaska ten years ago Hl by miners digging for gold. There Hj iff an alligator farm, an Egyptian Hh ralmlst and nearly a score of other i f(ie shows, the combined "ballaho" H of which adds to tho excitement of M uie crowds. There is no pause in the H entertainment, no quiet moments, no quiet1 corners. It's all stir, sights m ?.id excitement, even Avhen Walsh Is H not flying and tho races are not be- m Mrs. Walsh Vatches Husband. M The aviator flies under domestic H difUciiltlcs Mrs. Walsh believes in H tho simple lifo and has no desire to H) tread tho paths of tho caglo. Neither Hl han she any desiro that her husband i H should flaunt defiance to gravitation H to gain the plaudits of the crowd3 B that wntch while ho banters death. H Hicn "Walsh made hfs first flight H yesterday his wife covcrod her eyca B with her hands and asked repeatedly B if he was coming down. The slight B nccidont to the machine which occur- B red on Saturday completely unnerved B her and she would greatly prefer that B her husband would give up his ca- B rctir as a birdman and settle down B into some less remunerative but more B certain vocation. B "I'll have to dyo my hair if this H kecpB up for another month," she B snid when her husband had touched H tho earth aftor his first flight, "I'll . turn gray I know I shall If this ! keeps up much longer," and tho almost al-most hysterical woman clasped one of her children to her broast and then smiled at her own fright as she saw her husband climb from the seat of his machine and come toward her. One Mombor of Family Flying Enough W. A. Connelly, of Salt Lake City, engineer on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, a brother of Mrs Walsh, was present to witness the flight of tho aviator Mr. Connelly is greatly interested in-terested in aviation and anticipates being a birdman somo time. Ke Is now studying aviation and would make a flight with Walsh if tho biplane bi-plane which the aviator is using were larger enough to carry two persons. "He'll not fly if I can help it," was the way Mrs. Walsh answered tho suggestion sug-gestion that her brother would soon he flying as well as hor husband. "One aviator in a family is enough. ' Mrs. Walsh may woiry but she does not show it- And her hair of a very dark color doe3 not show that It is making her gray In the natural course of things she will not be gray for a numbor of years for she Is young woman. Gave Spectacular Flights. In Walsh's first flight he merely circled to the north and west and did not stay in the air more than ten minutes at the most. He went In this lime, however, far to the northwest; north-west; so far that his airship was almost al-most lost in the white clouds that banked the horizon. When some spectators lost sight of him , the aviator avia-tor turned hi3 machine around and the tiny speck grow larger The air craft dipped gracefully to the ground In the center of the race course and glided along the ground almost to the point from which it had arisen. Walsh's second and third flights were of longer duration and wero better bet-ter exhibitions of aerial maneuvering maneuver-ing than the firsl. The birdman loft the grounds going almost due west, circled to tho north, !2n to the southeast south-east and like a giant ciow sailed past the grand stand toward the east, sweeping north again. Tho airship passed over Plain City before turning toward the grounds where it alighted 33 easily as it had arisen. At 4:30 the third and last flight of the day was made. It was similar to tho second sec-ond flight in time and distance. In all three of the aerial vontures tho birdman met with splendid air conditions condi-tions and had no trouble In managing his craft. Splendid Displays. TVio Jlrnln.n I.. V.- . ...LILii a. iic uiajiuja ui tuu mum exnioiL hall are exceptionally fine this year and are entirely different than those of any previous fair. One of the prettiest pret-tiest of the exhibits is that of tho Becker Brewery company, which rep-losents rep-losents a landscape scene at Heidelberg Heidel-berg castle In Germany.

Miss Kiesel is displaying elghtv-fourf elghtv-fourf dolls of dlffoient nations.

Imagine the Joy of tho child who Bees elghtv-four of tho prettiest, darllngest dolls in tho world all brought together in one little booth. But it is not only the children that go into raptures over this doll exhibit for there is always a crowd of grown-ups gazing with almost al-most equal wonderment at the array of toy babies. The entiro collection was gnthered by Miss Kiesel during her recent trip in Europe and represents repre-sents quite an expenditure of money, as soveral of the puppets cost as much as $10 each. Many Interesting Exhibits.

Explains Flying Machine Tho spectators were permitted to go close to the Hying machine, where its parts were explained by the Walsh mechanicians. The aeroplane was surrounded by fair visitors practically all day. Kodak fiends were allowed their fill of picture taking. A number of amateur photographers obtained permission from the management to remain on the flying field for a chance to snap the aviator In tho air. When itte airman walked about the fair grounds ho was followod by small groups of young men and young women wom-en with their cameras. Mrs. Walsh, too, came in for hor share of the pose-lng, pose-lng, nnd the little Walsh children wero the central figures Jn more than one picture There were no races yesterday, and this allowed tho visitors more time to visit the various exhibition halls, which were crowded until nearly time for closing last night.
