The Cordovan had a margin of 471 as compared to 133 on the returns received up to| midafternoon today. Smith had small leads in the First and Fourth, 29 and 35, re- spectively, and Olson was leading by 72 in the Second and 456 in the T , his home Division. Demo- triumph as certain. Roden-Shattuck Close The Democrats had apparently elected three out of the four Sena- tors and one race, that in this; Division, was still undecided today. In the Second Division, J. F. De-| vine was leading Senator Alfred| Lomen by 20 votes with Nome City included. The outlying precincts were apparently giving DeVine, the | Democratic candidate, the heavy end of the vote. - M.

The Cordova man has a lead of 655 in 20 precincts| reported by the Anchorage Times to The Empire. In the Fourth Division, John B.

Crowds milled around the. Fair- way, examining the interesting dis- play booths, while many others found seats in the balcony from which to listen to the splendid hour’s concert given by the band last night as the opening program of the big four-day celebration. Interest in the exhibits, school sewing and embroidery, floral, ag- ricultural, live stock, canning and home cooking was keen and hun- dreds passed through the exhibit rooms during the intermission fol- lowing the band concert, previous to the formal opening talk by Gov. J. W. Troy. Many favorable com- ments were heard on every hand and exhibits are considered to be equal to if not surpassing those of any previous fair. Splendid program That the Fair management was wise in procuring talent from among local residents was more than proved by the applause and ovations with which the dancing and musical presentations were re- ceived. Miss Grace Naghel, who gave several of the fascinating and whirlwind dances of old Mexico, Spain and South America, was beautifully costumed and displayed a grace and talent rare indeed. The audience watched with fasci- nation as she executed the intri- cate and rapid dances, and it would be impossiblé to say which was the favorite, “Algerias de Postin,” a vivacious interpretation of the famous Spanish Bull Pight; “Ar- | ragonaise,” from the opera Carmen or the “Argentine Tango,” number on her program. Miss Mathiida Holst won hun- dreds of new admirers with her lovely voice and gracious stage presence last evening when she gave with fine interpretation sev- eral favorite songs. Each was wel- comed with prolonged and spon- final taneous applause. She sings with' "Thel {No Ceremony \For Pershing On Birthday VITTLE, France, Sept. 13 JGen.

CITYBANDTO - OPEN SECOND NIGHT OF FAIR Splendid Program Planned for This Evening at Annual Carnival Opening the program for the second night of the Thirteenth Annual Southeast Alaska Fair this evening will be a concert by the Juneau City Band, beginning at 8 o'clock. Doors to the big building will open at 7 o'clock and a large attendance is expected. Following the concert there will be special dance features by Miss Grace Naghel, who received a great ovation at her first appearance last evening. Miss Iris Gray will play the piano accompaniment. Miss Mathilda Holst, charming young singer of Juneau, will give several selections, accompanied by Miss Gray. Several musical presenta- tions by the Hawaiian orchestra will conclude the program preceding the big free dance by the Mandarin Idance band this evening. Dances Tonight Dances to be given by Miss Na- ghel this evening are “Waltz Co- quette,” “Twelfth Street Sal,” and “Jarabe Tapatio.” The last num- ber is a folk dance of old Mexico originally done in couples. At fes- tival times the gay Senoritas anxi- ously await their turns to dance this rapid “Copla” with the dash- ing caballeros who choose one and then another of the olive skinned maidens as their partners. Some are fat, some are thin, some are ‘vain, some are flirtatious and so on. Steps were arranged by a clever Chinese girl to suit the vain girl, the fat girl and other types, mak- ing a solo dance of the “Jarabe,” "in which all of those types of wom- 'en are portrayed who might have "been' the dancing partners of the ' nimble senores.

Educational in Nature “The greatest good from fairs is educational in its nature. The pecple exhibit their best products, which give other people opportunity to learn what others are doing and to go forth and do likewise, or improve on it. “I have observed the success of each fair since the inception of the Southeast Alaska Fair Associa- tion. If nothing else proves the henefits of these annual fairs, the popular support with which they are met provides the evidence. “The fair idea has become rooted in this community and I believe ow fairs will grow in usefulness and suocess as they come again and again. | “These fairs have been a sort of clearing house of ideas which are exchanged between the visitors in- terested in educational work, agri- culture, floriculture and kindred pursuits.
