Weather poor, track fairly fast, attend
ance 600.
Taken altogether, the races have been
perhaps the only feature of the first an
nual exhibition of Washington which
was completely up to the standard de-
sired. This may be said without apology
being necessary, for reasons patent to
everybody at all cognizant of the facts in
the case, or with any degree of knowl-
edge of the difficulties with which the
fair commission has commended. Every
day enthusiastic crowds have witnessed
the speed competitions, which in the
main have been very fair contests.
Mondays races were not so rapidly dis
posed of as were those OF the following
days, because the judges had not reduced
things to system. Each afternoon now,
however, is crowed as full as possible OF
contests and everything goes off smoothly.
The Judges are F. l.. Van Dusen, G. /.
Helm and DR.. f. E. Heg, and their de-
cisions and instructions always lead to
fairness and impartiality for all horse
owners and protection for the hackers OF
the thoroughbreds. Several attempts to
throw" races have been easily frustrated
by the rigid dictum of these gentlemen
The track has been kept in splendid
condition, and it is as last as any horse
man could desire. The stalls are full of
blooded animals, and their owners are
apparently very well satisfied with the
treatment thew are receiving. The inter
est continues undated, several special
special races being daily introduced to
ill in between heats booked on the pro-
grams and lists.
LIVE STOCK.
The live stock exhibit is far below what
had been expected even for first year,
and that year 1894. The stalls assigned to
this department are almost entirely Va
cant, only few local exhibitors having
made any entries.
A. ]. Splawn has three Hereford steers,
8 years old and over; Cameron Bros.
have an exhibit of French Merino sheep /;
a pair of ram lambs, pair OF rams, and
one ram and four of his lambs. J. G.
Lawrence shows 4-year-old graded COW.
Mr.. Wright displays two full-blood Jer-
sey cows. Mr.. Ii. B. Scudder has Hol-
st' in bull and COW, each years old. j.
Z. Marks also exhibits Q Holstein bull.
+. f. Benson shows short horns-two
cows-2 and years old. j. Rice has a
3-year-old graded COW; F. Hayes has 2
year-old Jersey bull Holstein heifer 2
years old and under 8; CLYDE mare and
colt, mare 4 years old. Mr.. John r
Patton has the most attractive part of the
stock exhibit. Several stalls are filled
with the pickings from his herd of Shet.
land ponies, he having thirteen on the
grounds. Iona is little 4-year-old only
81 inches high, and Tom Thumb, her
colt, is 80 inches high at IS months;
lantha is year-old 341s inches high,
and band of nine ponies in another
stall will not average greater height; Bob
Ingersoll presides over the whole group
and does it well, notwithstanding he is
only 4-year-old and 332 inches high-a
grade of diminutiveness which stamps
him as the smallest Shetland stallion in
the world. William X. Lyle has a year
and 2-year-old Poland China boar. and
SOW of the same breed, also 2-year-
old. Robert Rein enters a graded boar,
2 years old, and closes the list on the live
stock exhibit.
Two tents contain all of the poultry ex-
hibit, although the association or COM
mission provided some splendid coops.
THE MAIN HALL.
The first object to attract ones atten-
ton in the main hall is the great case
filled with steel shoes for fast steppers; ;
this case is owned by Needles & Christie,
and close beside it is competitive dis
play made by Ed. Kennedy.
M. Shorn, the Yakima carriage builder,
has vehicles on display constructed for I.
