State Fair Grounds Today.

management that the live stock ex-
hlbtlon this year will surpass all pre-
yious years In the matter Of the num-
Der of entries and the class Of stock
placed In competition. The majority
OF the breeders In the State of Utah are
represented IN all the departments ana
as consequence there are TO be seen
placidly grinding their jaws some OF
the best cattle In the West. The horses
too, form a striking department of the
outside exhibit, and the big Clydes-
dales, Percherons, Suffolk and Coach
horses have been surrounded by an adj
miring crowd all this afternoon, The
smallest number of pens is devoted 70
the swine. but at the same time those
specimens Of hogs that are TO be seen
are porkers OF pedigree superscillious
animals with vast contempt for
everything not edible OF sheep there
are plen,y-great big fellows some OF
them with thirty pounds of wool trail
ing on the ground over in the puul-
try quarters at the southwest corner
Of the grounds 23j entries proudly
proclaim the fact that they are there
with the ayowed purpose OF capturing
diplomas and otherwise holding up
their end Of the show In fact, 1t Is
In the poultry department that the
striking advance over past years in
regard 10 entries Is the most marked
and Supervisor H. f. Farr has been
worked overtime TO provide all with

tent OF grouping the various breeds to-

that bewilders the layman.

jn getting down TO work, and this after
noof tlie weighing of'tne ligest1e1 .wek'
