Here Is an Unexpected
Competitor.
NEW YORK AFTER EXHIBITS.
A Scheme That May Hurt the Mid
winter Exposition Though Corenly
Is Hard at Work.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The long and. at
times. bitter fight for proper representa-
tion that has been waging between Cali
forna and the executive committee of
awards was practically terminated to-day
by the appointment of ex-Govern or
Romualdo Pacheco as one of the judges in
the Viticultural Department, and the
official announcement of the final appoint
ment in other departments OF the awards.
From the beginning it has been an uphill
fight Had it not been for the watchful-
ness of the leading CalifOrnians stationed
i'll Jackson Park it is safe to say the State
would hardly have been represented oh
the juries. The trouble over the appoint
ment of DR.. Hawkins of Florida, however,
followed by the determined protest of
the California men. had the effect of COM
pelling Thatcher and his committee to
accede to the demand for fair play. For
over a month Secretary Judkins has made
numerous trips to the Administration
building in the interest of the State.
Following is the list as announced, sub
ject to possible additional names in de-
partments not yet fully equipped: DR..
Charles E. Blake of San Francisco and
David Starr Jordan of Palo Alto, liberal
arts: T. c. White of Fresno, horticulture; :;
Professor Rising of Berkeley. manufac-
lures; William Irelan Jr. and F. White,
mining; II. n. Rust OF Pasadena, ethno-
logical; Laura de Force Gordon of Lodi,
silk; Addie Elliott of Santa Rosa, bortI-
culture; Mrs. A. NJ. Nutall, ethnological; :;
Kate Douglass Wiggin of San Francisco.
liberal arts; Romualdo Pacheco, yiticul-
tural.
Besides securing these iudgeships the
interests of the State have been further pro-
tected by the care taken to allow no repre-
sentatives Of competing States in any OF
CalfOrnia's special departments to be ap-
pointed in those departments without an
equal representa- tion of Caiifornians.
In addition to the competition OF the
Antwerp Exposition, which will be held
next July, the Midwinter Fair people here
received news early this morning of an
other serious competitor for the Jackson
Park exhibits. The American Institute of
New York has just completed an immense
building and has decided to hold a fair
by way of dedication. Thev will try
to prevail upon European exhibitors to
stop in New York on their way home and
display the choicest of their exhibits for a
short time, and many foreigners who are
on the fence on the proposition Of coming
to San Francisco are likely TO be induced
to go to New York instead. The larger
population of the East as compared with
the West may decide some to accept. In
view of the competition of both these
fairs Herr Cornely will rush the contracts
for the Midwinter Exposition as much as
possible, as he has frequently done in the
past. Once an installment for floor space
is paid the exhibitor is not likely to take
his goods East
the exhibition of livestock opened this
morning at the stock pavilion in presence
Of &c. 600 people. 1t is said to be the larg-
est and most complete exhibition ever
held on the American continent 1t

cattle and 1900 hogs. They are housed in

The Car Of Russia has twenty-one orses
on exhibition, some with pedgrees run
ming back 125 years. Two stations of this
group are valued at over 100000 each.
These horses are classed as standard Orloff
trotters, heavy and light, and Orloff half
dress saddle or weight-carriers for heavy
cavalry service. The imperial stables of
Germany are also represen ted. An ex-
hibition will be given in the pavilion each
day.
