THE BLUE RIBBONS
They Are Being Awarded at the
Big Fair.
Cattle and Swine Exhibits Es-
pecialIy Fine.
NEW PLAN FOR SPACE.
All Housed in Tents and Exhib-
itors Pleased.
Those Who Have Been Awarded
Premiums.

The judges in the various depart
ments of live stock on exhibition at the
state fair were kept busy Tuesday and
/ Wednesday in the show ring just south
of the old exposition building They
judged over 500 animals during the two
days and awarded thousands of dollars
in premiums.
| These judges were unanimous in the
! declaration that the swine and cattle
exhibits at Topeka compared favorably
with those of any fair held IN the west
! in recent years. Nebraska breeders
are here in force and have brought the
| pride of their herds with them.
| One thing worthy of mention in the
1 light of the fact that Kansas has no
4 buildings on her state fair grounds is
4 that the temporary quarters prepared
| for the swine exhibits are more COM
| Portable and sanitary than the per-
manent pens at some of the oldest
| fairs in the country. The cattle are
also we'll cared for and every race
horse on the grounds has a regulation
box stall. The exhibitors in every line
and in every class are we'll pleased
with the quarters assigned them.
Room, comfort and convenience are
| the rule and if there are any dissat-
/ isfied people here from out of town
| they are keeping very quiet about their
| troubles.

in the show ring by the judges up to
