THE MINNESOTA COMMISSIONER GAiHS
A BIG POINT
BY CHANGING BATES AT FAIR.

DiOOuCu A1OFScS Oh 1911 SidsSCS
Being Entered by the Fore
most Breeders-No Attempt or
Intention to Shut Any One Out
Minnesota Will Have Proud
Representation.
Hon. Jay La Due. vice president of
the worlds fair commission for the
state of Minnesota, and senator from
Rock county in tine legislature the past
two sessions, is an enthusiastic horse
man, as we'll as breeder. To him is due
the credit of securing the extension of
time for the show of thoroughbred
horses and trotting strains at the
worlds fair from the 21st of August to
the 10th of October. Otherwise the Elk
hibitiOn must have been an AFFECT fail
ure. AT this time all the best animals
are entered in the races throughout the
country, and the Minnesota horses are
to participate in the circuit that will
soon begin. The owners could not at
ford TO foregO their entries in the race
meets for the benefit of the fair.
Senator La Due realized this fact
volvng upon him as worlds fair
commissioner in this respect: and for
three months he has diligently labored
for this extension of time. He has just
succeeded, and he is entitled to the
thanks of the breeders of the West, and
they are not SLOW III manifeSting their
appreciation.
Senator La Due was guest of the
Merchants yesterday. and last evening
lett the city for Mortified, where he
has arranged for meeting with the
leading horse breeders Of that section,
with view TO securing their entries for
the horse show in Chicago.
Large List OF Entries.
II feel gratlfied with the success Of
my mission about the state said lie to
a GLOBE reporter yesterday afternoon.
II have been travelling for several days
visiting the leading breeders of the
state. and have secured large list of
entries. and am confident that it will
be greatly Increased within the coming
week. 1t is not too much to expect, in
my Judgment, that we VIII have at least
seventy head OF horses and 100 head of
cattle to represent the industry IN Min
nesOta. and | want to add that really
believe that we will stand second to the
state of Illinois, and that we will carry
off our full share of blue ribbons. |
have secured the entries of \. p. Clark.
of ST. Cloud; of Willard IL Fuller, of
Blue Earth county: Of w. =. Baldwin,
of Plainview; of r. r. LIE Role, Of New
Durgh, and am certain of tile other
leading breeders Of the state"
Among the cattle that have already
hEn -
ARE the fourteen Deyons owned and
bred by Z. S. HOppin, of Dexter. and
others as follows: a. 2. Foster, Plain
view, fourteen Jerseys; c. n. COsgrove,
lie Sueur, sixteen Herefords; W. II.
Brown, Minneapolis. twenty-four short
horns: f. u. Squers, of Blue Earth,
fourteen Swiss; Hugh Paeli, of Dun
dee, sixteen GallowayS."
Why Dates Were Changed.
The following from the pen of Sena-
tor La Due, treating of the same sub
lect, is aprOpOS, and it is taken from the
HOrSeman:
The proposed Columbian Exposition
horse show at Chicago was suggested as
the most hitting and appropriate coca
sion TO exhibit 10 the world the Amer
lean trOtting horse, and one which has
not and will not in the near future
plCSCIt IlSCII. nc SIdUu ODDOr-
tuhity now presented to display to the
| Old World the magnitude of the trotting
horse breeding industry Of the United
| States, DIS has been well said by Mr..
| Janvier. of Newly DIRK. cannot be over
estimated, and should receive the hearty
support and cooperation of all the
breeders of this class Of horses in this
country.
regret that the Stock Farm, falling
TO comprehend the real and great OBJ
lect of this show, should draw an illog-
zeal conclusion from wrong basis. If
Kentucky or Tennessee has the best
| representatives of the American trot-
ting horse, every breeder IN the United
States who takes an interest in the
Columbian horse show will hail with
pride those representative horses at
Chicago. The proposed change of date
for the holding of this horse convention
from Aug. Il to a later date is not for
the purpose of shutting out Kentucky
or any other state, but for the purpose
of inducing all other states engaged in
the light-harness horse industry to come
i'll and show their productions.
No One To he Silut0ut
The intimation OF the Stock Farm. that
the proposed change of date for the
holding of the horse exhibit was in
tended to shut out two of our recog-
nlZed best horse states, must have been
made without the least reflection, and
without any knowledge of the entries of
these two states for the meeting which
was to take place Aug. 81. The main
reason for change OF date IS the apathy
shown by our representative breeders
for the meeting as first named by the
officers III charge of the live stock eX-
hlbit, and in no state is that apathy
more seeming than in the great horse
states, Kentucky and Tennessee.
The p0StpOnement is asked for to
make the show success, and the breed
erS of the United States have it i'll their
power to make II success, not only as
an attraction to the worlds fair, but to
show To the representatives of the old
world that, while we in the past have
been obliged to go to them for our
heavy draft horses, they must come
to us for speed. and buy the American
trOtter. Recent expectations of the
American trotter should induce every
American breeder TO take hold OF this
Columbian horse exhibit. The game
attributes and wonderful achievements
of The American trotting horse have al
ready commenced 10 claim the attention
OF the great hOrSemen of Europe, and
now is the coming opportunity to let
them see with their own eyes what we
have IN this line of breeding, to the end
that greater benefits may be derived
from the increasing demand abroad for
the American trotter. In closing this
short communication I will say to the
Stock Farm that the pOStpOnement of
the date is not to shut Kentucky out, but
to let Kentucky in.
