proud head and looked from side to
side with an intelligence almost human,
winning for himself favor in the eyes OF
ali.
Following was VIM. Murry's string
Ct thoroughbreds, nineteen in all leo
by Lovelocks, the noted two-year-olo.
They were universally admired. 1t was
the common remark that no eQual
number Of high-bred horses exhibiting
such points of excellency were ever oe-
fore placed on public parade at the
State Fair by any one man.
j. B. Haggin's string OF splenold
animals came In for their full share OF
applause. They were led by the cele-
rated stallion knight and his fanny or
five, each member of which was type
OF horsef1esh having few equals. Inese
hcrses were followed by many others
from various parts of the state.
There were several fine saddle horses
in line. and a long string OF thorough
bred stations, mares and their progeny.
The draft stations and mares were
In the minority, but what they lacked
In number they made up In size and
quality.
The cattle were led by the Alamo
Stock Farms herd Of Herefords from
Reno, New 1t would be saying great
deal to characterize this herd as the
finest in the world, yet only the truth
would be told, for the stately bull, Earl
of Shadeland, that led the van, was
awarded the first premium at the
Worlds Fair, and Daylight, his daugh-
ter, beautiful as 10, Jupiter's sweetheart,
transformed to a heifer, was awarded
the premium over all others in her class
at Chicago. No one should miss the
chance of seeing these cattle at Satur-
days parade.
A. Heilbron & Bros. came next with
q fine herd of short-horn DurhamS and
Herefords. The owners had clipped the
long, soft hair from these HerefOrdS,
which is so characteristic Of the ami
NAL and shows it's adaptability to the
range The Hereford herd was small,
but it's individual members were excep-
tionally fine, and the DurhamS were the
pride of the parade. For all-rOund cat
tie, milk, beef, hardy qualities and
size, the Durhams have long been in
favor.
The Brighton herd Of short-horn Dur
hams, owned by P H. Murphy of Sac
ramento, was one of the largest and
best. A ponderous bull, weighing 5000
pounds, felt his way cautiously in the
lead.
Johnson & Elliott's herd of Polled
Angus, also from Sacramento, proved
themselves the clowns of the ring, and
diverted the audience with their pranks.
They were determined on having things
pretty much their own way and the
boys who led them earned their coins.
Though ponderous of body, they We're
as active as fawns. These cattle are
natural foragers and unexcelled for
beef
Peter j. Shields, the well-known Jer-
sey enthusiast, was in line with his
vari-colored Jerseys. Mr.. Shields breeds
for butter and let's color take care of
itself, and as a result he has a herd
running to no standard Of color but of
excellent butter producing qualities.
F. Eaton of Florin kept up the thread
Of the line with a small herd of beautiful
cream colored or buckskin Jerseys,
which contrasted sharply with the herd
Of black Jerseys from the Yerba Buena
ranch, near San Francisco.
Frank II. Burke of San Jose is in for
a prize on his fine Holstein herd of
nineteen. These cattle were fully up
10 the standard, and attracted the at
tention of everyone and the admfra-
tion Of those who favor that particular
breed.
After the parade the visitors made a
grand rush to the stock pens, where,
until the races were announced there
were throngs admiring at close quarters
the animals which showed off to such
advantage on the track
The next stock parade will take place
at 10 a. m. tomorrow, and those who
fail to attend will miss real treat
