 Next there is a string of riding colts in evidence. from the stables of MT. Jensen Of Tempe, and alongside comes Henry Friedman's black g. year old colt that he proposes to
 make the best saddler in the country. The animal is trotting bred, very near standard, and was sired by Russell Nc.
 The Bartlett Heard string of relay race horses ridden by Tom Rice, comes next. The Bartlett Heard ex- hibit. which is under the care of MT. Lowell, contains a pair of mules also that the public should know about These mules are named Hulda and Minnie and weigh respectively 1,420 and HOO pounds. They were blue ribbOners last year, and if they are not this year it will be because somebody else has some of the finest stock in the world also. Hulda is years old and Minnie is 1. It is the same pair of which a visitor last year sought to know whether they were work mules or whether they

Cage shows some fine draft stock and H. A. Diehl has a trotting-bred yearling sired by Sym boleer. S. Y. BarIley has good looking mare and colt nearby.
 One of the new, or at least rap idly augmenting horse herds of the valley is that of Shirley Christy, who likes horses just because he likes them. He is branching out consid- erably and will shortly be up in the class with the big breeders. He has in the sheds some fine colts by Milo Mckinney, some roadsters and brood mares, two jennets and three fine mules. Iir the fight big horse barn he has 6 fine dapple gray Percheron stallion, imported and answering to the name of Secret, and a fine jack also. Mir. Christy is in the horse business for business.
 The Turkey Track exhibit, made by MT. Packard. has most of the Isize horses he showed last year and some younger stock.

THE HORSE SHOW.
A Line of Draft, Saddle and Breeding
 Stock Arizona Is Proud Of.

The horse show this year, that is, the breeding and exhibition stock, is l equally as large as it was a year ago, except for the fine horses shown last year by an importing concern. There are a number of new stallions
 owned locally, though two or three horses are missing that have been shown each former year. Still it is quite certain there are scores of horses of one class or another in the territory, even in this county. which
 would have added greatly to the eX- hibition were they brought in, and some of which would doubtless have
 been decorated with ribbons. There
 are only a few colts shown and it is
 certainty that there must have been
 scores of thoroughbred or high grade
 colts foaled in this county within a
 year.
 Much of the young stock, however, [ is harness bred and is seen in the
 racing stables. Of the racing stock, nothing will be said here specifically:
 There are scores of race horses on
 the grounds. With the notable ones
 the public is quite familiar and the others have nothing notable yet, ex- cept their ancestry, as their exploits
 are in the future. It is well worth
 while, however, for one to walk
 through the racing stables and also
 to pass by the long line of box stalls along the fence north of the barns, where the overflow racing horses are housed. A visit to the home of the running horses north of the poultry houses will also repay the effort for those who love the ponies. It's all horse show, but specifically this article applies to breeding and draft stock chiefly. The fair is about the only occasion the breeder has for showing the line of goods he carries, while the fast harness horse is always in evidence And if there is any doubt in any quarter concerning the aristocracy of the equine population of Arizona, even that part of it which does heavy work, the doubter should spend a little time along the west fence clear from the entrance gate to the north end.
 The superintendent of the horse and mule department is w. W. Cook, who has held that office ever since the territorial fair was an infant. This description of his department does not include all the exhibit, but only those which chanced to catch the eye of the reporter. It is not designed as a thorough description. but merely one setting forth sufficient details for the reader to form an idea of the class of exhibits shown.
 Beginning at the south end of the stalls, about the first thing to catch the eye is the exhibit of T. c. simon, showing q draft mare and two colts. and proving that they can raise good horses in Buckeye as well as cotton and alfalfa. Sam Barrett has pair of draft horses next that are worth looking at, not mere exhibition ami mals, but harnessed for business. Fred Tait shows Q 3-year-old sorrel draft mare that will be all right when she

Delight is an enormous brood mare in foal by Cast;iiion and weighs 2020 pounds. In the two box stalls adjoining are Mikado, Packard's famous jack,
 weighing 1880 pounds. and Castillion, the handsome Percheron stallion, coming five years old, that only
 lacks five pounds of weighing a ton.
 In the horse barn are two more
 fine stallions under the keeping of Walter Weldon, that belong to the same exhibit One is Direct View. a trotter, with a record of 2:0SA, and the other is Arizona Mckinney,
 fast pacer, but without a mark.
 In the horse barn besides those already mentioned there is a fine ar ray of stock, mainly stalliOns. A Tempe company represented by w. T. Cummings shows the imported French Coach horse. CrOiseur. Fred Tait has a fine black draft stallion. Another Tempe company exhibits Coquette, a black Percheron, import ed, and still another company the 1,140 pound jack, Piano Boy. Gras well, a French coach stallion, is shown by a Phoenix company. rep resented by F. Evans, the horse weighing 1870 pounds. A fine stall ion offered for sale in this barn is Raging Directum, a bay horse sired by Montana Directum.
 A German coach horse, Lubben's Guardsman, imported. is exhibited by James Smith of Phoenix. Charles Warehouse, manager of another company, has on exhibition Donqui- chotte. an imported French coach. w. w. Carney of Nogales, who has charge of Prince" Col. Randolph's saddle horse, takes pleasure in show ing him to visitors He is a black stallion years old. and is a stand ard bred registered saddler. Those who admired him from the grand stand the other day will think better of him on a close inspection. He is not only marvelously well treated for so younga horse, but he is as per fectly constructed a horse as one gets a chance to see but seldom. Betty Randolph. in the next stall, is Mrs. Epes Randolph's saddle horse, and is also a well trained and valu- able animal. While yet little more than a colt Betty was struck by lightning and received an injury par italy paralyzing her. but she is now about recovered. Only her best friends can discover a halting at times. A horse standing near her at the time was killed by the same flash of lightning. Betty appeared in the saddle gaited 3-yer-old class yesterday. Bell, a Barkley mare, which also appeared in the gaited saddle class, and Coronado, the big Swear old Barkley stallion, are also in this barn.

Salt River Valley are watching this test with a great deal of interest.
 The beef breeds are well repre- sented by the Bartlett Heard Land and Cattle company of Phoenix; and George Day of Buckeye, with the short horn. The herds are in elegant condition and are making very fine show. Hiscock and DeNike are the only exhibitors of the Herefords and have a very creditable show. Taking it all in all, the cattle this year are as fine a bunch as has ever been entered in a show ring in any of the fairs in the east.
 The parade on Tuesday morning brought forth many complimentary remarks from cattlemen from all parts of the territory, who are here attending the fair and the cattlemen's association, which is being held in Phoenix this year.
 Among the herds missed this year are the short horn and Herefords of the Turkey Track Cattle company of Tempe, and the herd of Black Gallo ways of MT. A. c. Mcqueen of Mesa City
 The judging this year has been placed in very competent hands. In the dairy division Professor Clothier of the University of Arizona, and MT. Wilson of the Experiment farm. near Phoenix, will have charge of the judging.
 In the beef breeds, John Duke Of Prescott will have charge. MT. Duke is one of the best known cattlemen in Arizona and as a judge of beef cattle he is without a superior in the territory.
 In commenting on the different herds in attendance. MT. D. T. Me Queen, superintendent of the cattle, says that there is a noticeable change for the better in some of the herds in their appearance from last year, owing to the owners having more ex- perience in getting their herds ready and in condition, and predicts that next year the fair commission will have to enlarge the stables in order to take care of the large increase of stock exhibits.
 For the general effect and success of the fair, it is regretted that the Galloway herd of Mr. Mcqueen, the l0dTIleII-1 1edTu NHilG ldCtS, anu llle Turkey Track stock are absent this year They formed a large part of the show the first year of the fair and very showy part of it the two succeeding years. Nevertheless it is gratifying to know that even with these fine herds missing there is still a first class display. Moreover, the complaints heard in former years that the small farmer with the single show animal had little chance to make an impression, do not lie with much force this year It is pleasing to know that many small herds are and it is sincerely hoped that there will be twice as many an other year. Every herd has to have a beginning and while a single ami maj may not impress the multitude as much as a whole row of them, vis- itors who are interested by a knowl- edge of the business judge the indi vidual animal on it's merits It is hoped next year all the herds. big and little, will be represented.

RANGE AND } FARM STOCK Beef and Dairy Cattle, Draft
 Horses and ROadsters  IN THE STALLS AND BARNS
Lines of Industry the Fair
 is Designed to Permanent
 ly Inprove-Awards An nounced In the Equine Classes Yesterday.

J The stock exhibit this year, that
 is, in the cattle department, is cer- tainly a success in quality, but the number is not as great as the fair commission would like, though there is a large increase over last year. Among the largest herds on exhibi- tion is the Holstein, owned by Mir. R. Renaud of Alhambra. The Jer- seys are represented by Elliot Evans and Miss Edith Evans
 One of the new attractions in the cattle department this year are the Ayshires, which were brought to the territory in December, 1907, by Mo Donald Bros of Mesa City While these cattle are new to Arizona they have proven a great success among the dairy breeders in the east. They are small in comparison with the short horn, or Galloways; more like the Jerseys in size.
 One of the animals in. Messrs. Me Donalds' herd, which they have on exhibition at the fair this year, is Dandy the Tenth, whose dam, Dandy the ninth, won the milk test over all breeds in the United States and Canada. and sold in Chicago at the end of the show season for SIPS. In winning the milk test last year she gave the Ayshires a great lead over other dairy breeds. This year her daughter Dandy the tenth) is entered in similar test of three days at the fair. commencing Wednesday morning, and the dairymen of the

 In the class. mares under two years of age the same superiority appeared. his get took first and second.
 In the class, stallions under one year old, his get was awarded the first and second places.
 In the class mares under one year of age, his get in the same manner car ried off all honOrs.
 This is a remarkable showing for any sire, but in Castillion's case. the expected happened. and it may safely be asserted that if the Turkey Track Cattle company had not sold out of the valley all of his get two and under three years of age that the same win ming story would be told of them.
 In the lot of weanlings is one stall, lion colt by Castiilion out of Lady Alice; that was agreed upon by tho judges and the talent at the ringside to be the best and most evenly devel- opend horse of the age that they had ever seen.
 Castillion and Lady Alice have the

 THE CONSCIENCE OF '01. s4 ------- Veteran Well and Hearty, Returns
 e1,f72 to Pension Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 7.-vespasian Warner, commissioner of pensions. told President Roosevelt yesterday of q remarkable case of stricken con science. Some time ago the commis- sibner got letter from a pensloner of the civil war surrendering his cer- tifcate and enclosing two $500 coupon bonds of, the United States and a draft for S172, thereby mak- ing full restitution to the govern ment of all money he had received on account of the certificate of pen sion.
 Commissioner Warner refused to give the name of the soldier and de clared he had not disclosed 1t to the treasurer of the United States, to whom were turned over the bonds and conscience money. When the conscience contribution first arrived the commissioner caused an examina- tion to be made of the records in the case. On the showing the veteran was entitled to his pension beyond question. A special examiner was sent out to make an investigation on the theory that the soldier might bo mentally irresponsible.
 The conscience stricken man was found to be in excellent health and of sound mind. Thereupon the ac- count with conscience was declared closed, and the bonds and money were covered into the miscellaneous receipts of the treasury department,

DANBuRY FAIR CATTLE SHOW.

DANBURY FAIR CATTLE SHOW.
 Tuesday and Wednesday, October 6 and [, are officially known as Cat tie days" but all premium animals in the many classes are kept on exhi- bition the. entire week. The cattle show at the Danbury fair is the gath ing place of the prize winners of the leading fairs of New York and New England. It is at this great fair that the different individuals and herds try conclusions with each other for the final championship of their class. The Danbury fair is held latest in the year of all the prominent fairs of the northern states and the owners of blooded stock value a blue ribbon from this institution highly, as 1t rep resents premiership. Competition Is always keen and interest never lags. Men who seek to improve their herds can always find the best in each breed at this fair. The cattle are carefully cared for at Danbury, permanent san- itary show barns and free hay and straw being provided. Nine of the twenty classes are judged Tuesday and eleven Wednesday.

No License People of Lisbon Lost by
 Two Votes Want New Count.

Lisbon, Conn, Oct 17.-The town of Lisbon voted no license Monday by a plurality of two. The license people are going to take the matter into court, they say, on the ground that certain ballots were illegally cast. It is claimed that the secre- tary of state failed to send enough No" ballots to the town and some of the license people secured as many of these as possible. When voters wanted No" ballots there were none and some of the voters took "Yes" ballots and after scratch ing out the word '.yes" wrote mo-" and voted. The license people set up the claim that these ballots are illegal and accordingly the town stays license. The understanding to- day was that the license people would at once go to court with the matter. and prolongation of the litigation would enable the licensees to continue in business, and so shorten the length of the no-license term in town.

FIFTY MILES FROM BOSTON" Among the notable local theatrical events Is the appearance at Polrs this afternoon and evening of George M. Cohan's rural musical play, Fifty Miles from Boston, under the direc- ton of Messrs Conan and Harris. It Is said that the setting of the 7Cohan musical play gives the author, the best opportunity to develop that pe- culiar vein of humor that has distin- guished all his productions. Before the play was written, the little village of Brookfield had nestled among the hills of Massachusetts in It's sublime obscurity. But when Mir Conan se- lected 1t as the scene of Fifty Miles from Boston" 1t inadvertently sprung into. popularity. resulting not little in advancing the real estate interests Of that suburb. Chief among the musical numbers that have gained a wide popularity are Waltz With Me-" Jack and Jill," "Harrigan, The Boys Who Fight the Flames" My Small Town Gal" "Ain't It Awful" Messrs Conan and Harris have provided large chorus of boys and girls, and competent and well selected cast, including Douglas Stevenson, Frank Baunan, Walter P.
