ST. PAUL NEWS LETTER.

Montana won prominent honors at
the second Northwestern Live Stock
show, capturing the Swift & Co. cup
for feeder cattle which was won by
Geo. J. Allen of Livingston. South
Dakota took the handsome Mer-
chants Hotel cup which went to H.
O. Wickre of Webster, for the cham
pion carload of grain fed cattle.
Minnesota took the remaining cups,
the Merchants National Bank cup
for bacon hogs going to Harry Krum
of White Bear, the Farm, Stock &
Home cup for champion steer going
to C. F. Clark of St. Cloud, the
South St. Paul Reporter cup for
the champion bacon hog going to I.
H. Garfield of Lake Park and a gold
medal to Frank Leslie Smith, Is
years of age and a student of the
Minnesota State Agricultural school
for fitting the grand champion steer.
Attendance and exhibits doubled
the first years record. The show
entertained it's capacity daily and
was notable for the attendance of
practical farmers. Plans are al
ready being made for next years
display and there is much talk of the
construction of an immense perma-
nent amphitheatre at the South St.
Paul market for the accommodation
of the show and exhibits. In sheep
and hogs especially the present
quarters are too limited to take care
of the probable increase another
year. The show cost more than
$1,000 and made about $500. 1t was
not profitable venture, except in
it's benefits to the stock interests of
the state, and these are now believed
to be sufficient to justify the contin-
uance of the event as a permanent
annual attraction.
