STOCK PARADE
NEVER fQUAllfD
Magnificent Display of Biooded
Horses and Cattle Passes
Before Grand Stand

"None of our stock parades in other
years eaualed the one we had today"
DIR. J. c. Curryer, superintendent of
the horse department, said so yester
day. He was willing to explain the
grounds of his belief.
In cattle, he said. comparisons with
other years We're all in favor of 1904.
The number of entries had been great
er this year and the quality of the ex
hibits higher. In fact, the finest herds
in the principal beef breeds had come
to Hamline, herds that are not sur
passed at the national cattle shows in
Chicago or Kansas City. Besides, Ham
line had collected some Of the best
specimens of dairy cattle to be secured
in the West, and dairy cattle do not
go to the Illinois or Missouri shows.
The horse entries were his special
ties, he said. There had been 374 of
them. Compared to 1903 this was a
slight reduction. 1t had been brought
about by the absence Of many prize
horses at st. Louis.
Horses Of High Degree
"But the quality of the horses shown
at Hamline is higher this year." he
continued, than it has been before.
I was proud to ride today at the head
Of our horse parade"
The parade started from the stables
at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t
went directly to the mile track and
south along the track before the grand
stand, to the vicinity of the machinery
| building. The procession turned at
that building and went back along the
| track SO that the grand stand occu-
| pants might see the prize animals from
| each side.
| The First Regiment band marched
| before the horse exhibits until the re-
| turn parade, when this band led the
/ cattle division. The Highlanders band
| preceded the third division or South
! st. Paul display.
/ DIR. Curryer rode as chief marshal of
| the horse division and Col. w. M. Lig-
1 gett, superintendent of the cattle de-
/ partment, as chief marshal of the cattle
/ division.

cowboys, mounted on the so-called

stead of bowie knives protruding from
| their boots-introduced the South st
Paul division.
4 Numerous floats came next to display
the products of the South st. Pau
packing houses. These floats were
borne upon two-horse wagons and were
draped chiefly in white bunting. Al
the varied products of a progressing
| packing house were shown. There were
lard, hams, sausage, picked meats, ev.

BIG NIGHT RECORD
CROWNS EVENTFUL DAY

The biggest crowd that ever gath
cred to see anything in the Twin Cities
was at the fair last night. 1t started
early in the day and kept coming until
nightfall and then some.
Clouds and sunshine at intervals all
day gave the outing of a majority OF
the people the charming uncertainty Of
a gamble as to whether it would rain
or be dry enough overhead to allow
seeing the whole show. The rain held
off and while new fall millinery was
scarce, the constant wearers of it were
numerous. Women were taking no
chances of running their hats and left
them at home. Consequently the ap-
pearance of the crowd indicated that
the women had delved into forgotten

cheered during the afternoon by near
ly 10000 occupants of the grand stand.
All the usual vaudeville numbers wera
repeated, and the "Great Babcock''
risked his neck as freely as if he were
not taking chances of muddy death.
An opportunity was given to see the
live stock on parade. All the best
horses and cattle in competition took
part in this splendid testimonial to
the stock-raising possibilities and the
stock-raising achievements of Mime
sofa. And the many elaborate displays
by the packers and cattle dealers Of
South st. Paul opened the eyes of
strangers as to the growth and inn
portance Of a mammoth st. Paul in
dustry.
Today, in the matter of entertain
ment at the fair, will be not one day
only, but several days. Postpone
ments of events scheduled earlier in
the week will make Saturday the big
gest day of all.
The races of two and one-half days
will be run this morning and this after
noon. Each day, on the regular pro-
gramme, there are but two principal
races: today there will be five. These
will be the 2:30 pace, the 2:24 pace,
the 2:1S pace, the 2:25 trot and the 2: IL
trot. So numerous will be the track
events that the first gong will sound
at 1920 o'clock this morning instead
of 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The

Grand Stands Loaded

headgear.
Grand Stands Loaded
At o'clock thes4big grand stand was
apparently loaded to its capacity with
the day crowd and early night arrivals,
but at it was jammed, so that late
corners had great difficulty in finding a
place within the inclosure from which
to see the show
There was double dose of aerial
fireworks and a full line of destruction
of st. Pierre and numerous vaudeville
turns, although several of the latter
were dispensed with on account of the
shower early in the evening.
Everybody smiled and joked and the
good nature Of the crowd made UP in a
measure for the disappointment of the
last two days on account of the
weather.
The crowd was so great in the stands
that people overf1owed all over the
grounds, and the pike and various ex
hibits had all the patronage that could
be handled. For the first time this
week the stands of all sorts did rush
ing business all the time.
There was a dense gathering within
the pike inclosure. Every show in the
establishment was driven with busi-
ness from Z o'clock until closing time.
Even the tent in which the German
comedian sang Schneider, Does Your
Mother Know You're Out, Tra-la-lee-
o." played to big business and much
enthusiasm
The elephant and camel had a busy
evening also, ,aand long after st. Pierre
fell the patient African beasts wan
dered sedately about with loads of gig
Cling women and jocose men on their
| backs.
Many Visit Stock Show
The cattle sheds and barns came in
for good deal of inspection during
the evening. Groups Of solid looking
ranchmen examined the big prize win
nerS and several sales of herd leaders
were made during these inspections.
| One Shorthorn two-year -old bull was
| reported sold to Francis J. Leach, Of
| Mandan, N. D., for $1,000.
| When the fireworks were over the

| large extent, the assemblage in the
various buildings and on the pike. The
crowd was in Joking mood and some
| of the actors were numerically ques-
toned
was far from pleasant, the extraordi-
nary turnout came as surprise to the
