officers and board of directors of the
State Fair Association of Oklahoma,
together with tbe co-operation of men
and women, boys and girls all over

election was held and carried by a ma-
jority of one, but those opposed to an
increase in taxation took the question
to the distrct court, where the electon

feature of the election was the pupils

and Exposition as the Bumper Crop
State Fair. There are something
like thirty county exhibits and tBe
big building is literally bulging out on
all sides with displays from the farm,
garden and orchard.
Hundreds of merchants' and manu-
facturers' displays are to be seen In
the great Exposition building, where
there is not an available foot of Idle
space. The live stock show is ahecd
of other years, much of the stock, of
course, coming from other states.
Some idea of the big live stock show
may be gleaned from the following:
Horses to be seen, over 500: cattle
sliown, all breeds, 600; swine, about
700 head; poultry, about 1,800 birds;
with a large number of sheep and
goats.
Silo demonstrations, acres covered
with machinery, and n •'•chanical milk-
er, the A. & M. College exhibits and
school contests in agriculture by boys
and girls from nearly every county,
the automobile and vehicle show, great
display of minerals, cement show and
hundreds of other features, including
gang plowing and planting by tracton
engines, school for dairy workers, etc.,
make it possible for farm people and
the city folk to combine vacation,
pleasure and valuable schooling at one
time at the State Fair.
Never before has the management
given so much thought to amusements.
In addition to the star feature act, the
Moisant Internatonal Aviators, there
are any number of European acts in-
cluding Little Hip and Napoleon the
Great, monkey and elephant; Seven
American Whirlwinds. Mile. La Bella
and Dare Devil Hurley, In sensatlnal
automobile act; Prevost and Brown.
acrobatB; Bartelli and Murphy, co-
medians; the Great Patterson Troupe,
five lady aerlallsts; Casey and Mill!-
gan, mimicry, and the Wortham and
Allen United Shows, with some twenty
odd attractions on the Midway.
A new feature this year is Hippo-
drome in Fair Park theater, where a
galaxy of all the great free acts are
presented every night. The Oklaho-
ma Horse Show will be a feature next
week for five nights. It will Include
pony polo and pushball games by the
Oklahoma City and the Rockwall
Ranch (Texas) teams; high class
vaudeville, high steppers, fancy turn-
outs, etc.
Racing is one of the great after-
noon features, the dally program call-
ing for six high class harness and run-
ning events. The speed program for
the entire twelve days calls for purses
amounting to $21,000.
Music all the time and everywhere
at the State Fair this year, no less
than twenty odd bands being engaged
for different days.
Taken in its full width and breadth,
the Oklahoma State Fair and Exposi-
tion this year is a record breaker.
Every day will be a feature from the
present time uutil tfie close of Satur-
d r. October 6.
