DIES MONIES, Aug. 31.-Cspecial)-
Frank Iams of St. Paul. Neb., the big i'm
porter OF Belgian horses, was ordered TO
take his horses out of the show ring at
the stock pavilion and tonight the di-
rectors of the state fair are holding a
meeting, at which II was limited action
might be taken debarring Iams from en-
tering stock at future Iowa-state fairs, un-
less he made satisfactory amends. Iams
claims that he was Disseminated against.
Following the custom of judging horses,
the horse judge picked out several horses
as being in the class that should have
prizes. These he ordered to a separate
place in the ring together In order to de-
eide which should have first, which sec
ond and which third prize, One of Iams
horses was in the bunch. 1ams refused to
allow his man to take the horse away
from the rest of his horses. The judge Or
dered him to bring the horse to the place
designated or else remove it from the ring,
and when he refused to comply Prof. Cur
tiss, superintendent of the horse depart
ment was called and enforced the order.
Iams then took all his horses back to the
stables. Iams claims that the judges dis
eliminated against him in counting out
his best horse, an-animal weighing 25l0
pounds. The fair management claims that
Iams had picked on one particular horse
in his bunch as the winner of a prize and
that, though It was a big horse, II was not
counted by the judges as the best, and, be-
| ing disappointed, Iams refused TO comply
| with the instructions of the judge.
This is the last day OF the state fair and
| is on the program as Iowa day. The day
was marked by continuance of good
weather and big attendance The attend
snce for the week will exceed $4,000 and
| never before has Il reached 100000. The
| feature of today was the grand parade of
the prize winning stock which was I'M
] doubtedly the best the fair has ever had
| exhibited. Today closes the state fair and
/ tomorrow will be devoted to removing the
exhibits.
