WHERE THE INTERNATIONAL LIVE STOCK SHOW WAS HELD

terests combined in the exposition held
their annual meetings in Chicago during
the time OF the exposition.
Primarily the Object Of the inteTna-
tional live stock exposition was to dis
play the progress and improvement that
has been made in the live stock world in
the nineteenth century and to furnish an
incentive for future upbuilding. The ex-
position was not founded as a money
making enterprise, but had its inception
In the wishes of the numerous breeding
associations which meet annually in Chi
cago, who held that Chicago, the leading
live stock market on earth, would be the
place and now the time TO show what 100
years have done in that industry.
There We're 400 breeding cattle, rep
resenting the best breeding establish
ments in the United States and Canada.
with noted animals from England and
Scotland. Hooded sheep to the number
of ! 900 or more, 400 draft horses in
breeding aud harness classes and fancy
swine in great numbers were shown. Dex-
ter Park amphitheater and all of she nu
merous horse barns owned by the Union
Stoekyards Company We're used for hous'
ing the animals, including a temporary
structure for the sheep and hogs, erect
ed at a cost of $4,000. Sales Of thor
oughbred animals were held during the
exposition. More than sixty judges were
required to pass on the 300 classes of
stock on which prizes We're offered. Five
hundred live stock men from all points
in Canada chartered a special train to
bring them from Toronto. The agricul-
tural departments of Mexico, South
America, France and Germany were rep
resented. 1t is estimated that more than
100000 visitors attended the show.

S. T. Thomas of Chicago: zone reason
and very good reason, too, why rubbers
do not last longer is that so many of them
are made-over rubbers. All the junk
men in the country are doing a good bust
ness gathering up old, discarded rubbers
from the streets and waste barrels and
shipping them to the Eastern factories,
where they are made over into brand
new" stock. OF course such stock does
not wear like the genuinely new article,
and so it happens that good rubber will
be mated with a rejuvenated article, and
when the latter gives out after a week
or ten days wear why the unfortunate
purchaser gets after the innocent retail
err and he has to put up a new pair at a
reduced price or make some sort of a
compromise"
