a PREDECESSOR
TO WELCOME HIM
For the First Time in History
Sudden Death Has Not Pre-
Guided Ceremony.

The assumption of the office of Chief
Executive of the French Republic on
this occasion Is marked out from pre-
yious inau i, 1,a by the fact that
see, no President Of the Third Repub-
lie has ever found his predecessor there
to formally transmit the powers confer-
red on him by the Constitution. Either
resignation of. office an interregnum, dur
ing which the cabinet has exercised ex-
ecutive powers has preceded, the begin
ming of each new presidential term, and
for one or other of these reasons the
function of installation has been de-
nuded of ceremony.
When the first President, Theirs, re-
signed In, May, 1873, the country was
passing. through very critical period
of Its history. and his successor, Mac
Mahon, merely consented to accept office
as q; provisional President. and it was only
to continue for the full septennate; des-
tined to be cut short by his resignu-
tlon. Crews succession passed off quiet
y ana unostentationsly, and at his re-
transmission of powers. Carnot filled the

WASHINGTON, d. c., February 1S.-
President Roosevelt has taken personal
interest in the charges of fraud and cor
-ruption. which are said to have occurred
in connection with the affairs of the
fivG civilized tribes in the Indian Terri-
tory. But for his interferences, indict-
ments against several parties alleged to
have been engaged in illegal practices

ever. under his orders, the interior &c

a hoof, and granting that he never ex- pected to. It consisted mainly of horses and cattle, but they were of all kinds and classes. from yerseys to beef animals, and from the tiniest Shet- lands to the large draft breeds. There was an admiring crowd present and though it was not so large as the af- ternoon attendance by some thousands. nearly every one there was there for that particular purpose, sc the stock owners were reaching the people they most wanted to see. The horses made a specially fine. appearance. for 1t is one thing to see monster stallion cooped up in a barn, and another to see him prancing before an audience, fully appreciating that he is on eXhibi- ton. The judging of the live stock began yesterday, but will not be fin ished before today or tomorrow.
 THE RACES.
 The racing program was shorter than usual yesterday, shorter than it will be today, but it was good. and there were some close contests. There were but two harness events, each be- Ing won III SlTdlSuJ HtdlS- DUH NtAN fast events By good horses, but some of the best of them were not on their mettle and there was disappointment in certain quarters. That however, meant greater satisfaction elsewhere, so matters were evened. Custer, own ed by J. C. Adams. the fastest Phoenix horse on the track, seemed to be par ticularly out of sorts, and instead Of winning the money as many had pre- dicted, he failed to get a look-in. He was easily the faYorite with the grand stand for three migh-y good reasons. Most important, he is an Arizona horse, next he is a fine looking animal, and bound to win friends on his shape alone, and lastly his fine performances on the Grand circuit the past season had won him more friends at home than he knew about, and earned for him a better record than any of his opponents But a Yankee nag from Concord driven by MT. Gatcomp, Phalla, by name. took the race and earned the money by three splendid heats which made her host of friends and her next appearance will be looked for with pleasure by the grand stand The other race was taken py Bystand- CT. another of the Adams string, and mighty promising animal He is a

 Then comes the Adams Jersey herd. registered stock of all ages and as good a lot as one could find in any country. There are several cows and bulls ard a fine looking lot of young stock. The Adams dairy is too well known to need extended mention
 The exhibit of tine Cananea Cattle company is the next in order and Is another of the big show places. They are mainly Herefords and among them are some of rare merit. Names of spec iaIly fine animals could not be learned at the time of the visit In this ex- hibit also are six shetland ponies all of which are unusually pretty aTld three of which are perfect pictures They are just about the right size for watch charms.
 Next comes the cattle and stock ex- hibit of the Turkey Tract Cattle com pany. the conduct of which claims most of the time and attention of B- A. Packard To tell all about this dis play in detail would require a volume of some size. Beside the Gallowby above mentioned there are white faceS of all ages and of bluebOod pedigree. roans. etc. There are two jacks. oT.rs of which is MT.

 There are many more horses in the stables above. mention of which must be left for another issue.

HORSES AND CATTLE.

What IS very important 10 one per son is a mighty small matter for an- other but if the live stock exhibit isn't about the biggest thing on the fair grounds, those monster draft horses of MT. Packard's and the big bulls of various owners don't mean anything. But whatever may be the most i'm portant feature of the fair. it is cer- tain that no department of it has made such a marvellous improvement over the show of a year ago. as that in which the breeders are most interested. In due time The Republican expects Ia print the prize winners in all depart ments of exhibition but just now the plan is to give a nasty review of the horses and cattle, as they apepar to the casual visitor, regardless of blua ribbons. which in most cases have not been attached. This description can not embrace every animal and perhaps some small but creditable exhibits will be overlooked entirely. This is due partly to the fact that one can hardly take it all in at one effort and more to the fact that two-thirds of the ex- ibitors. through the modesty that seems to sway those who are young in the show business. have failed to put up signboards. cards or other printed matter. telling the visitor who owns this or that animal and what family it is supposed to represent This is ore lesson the exhibitors will learn thi year: that to get their moneys wOrti, out of the fair they must let thir lights shine.
 The first display that meets the eye of the visitor on entering the grounds is that of the Bartlett Heard Land & Cattle company. consisting of Here ford. Scotch ROan Durham. and dairy Durham cattle and mules. In the Scotch roans there is 14-months' old bull that weighs over a thousand pounds. registered. and from the Mar tin Flynn heard of Des Moines.
