Affair.

Affair.
North Yakima is to have another
street parade OF horses this spring.
in all probability. The parade held
on April II of last year was a reve-
laton to all concerned. When the
idea was undertaken il was thought
that perhaps as many as 20 horses
could he got in line. As Il matter
of fact the turnout comprised 1877
| of as finely bred animals as could
be found anywhere in the country.
Since then a large number of new
horses. embracing all breeds. have
been added.
There is a strong desire 70 repeat
the parade and preparations are now
! in progress for n similar display eth
er the first or the second Saturday
in April. The approval OF the Dust
ness Mems association to the under
taking has been asked As the pa
,ade last year cost altogether only
about So and was the finest kind
Of free show. it is considered that
the commercial value of similar
day this year will be recognized.
DIR. G. Mel. Richards, editor of
Horn & Hoof and now a resident Of
Seattle, was responsible for the sue
cess last year. He has urged that
the show be repeated and made an
annual feature. In this view he is
upheld by large number of citizens
who believe the display of horses once
a year on the streets of the city to
be one of the best possible adver-
tisements to be procured ut home
that North Yakima can have. Mana
ger Schroeder of the Hotel Yakima
is among those who share this view
and says he has number of Spokane
friends who are anxious to be here
on the day of the parade, if one is
held
In the display OF this year the elias
siGcation will be somewhat different
from that of year ago. Draught
animals will not be grouped and
some new features will be added.
Since last year l.. o. Janeck, l.. d.
Green and others have purchased
Shetland ponies, the Russell company
at Wapato has added hackneys and
has two four finland teams of horses
which have been blue ribbon winners
elsewhere. Mr.. Sebastian has q stand
ard bred stallion, Messrs, Schott,
Janeck, Cleman, Williams and a num-
Der of others have standard bred ami
mails, Messrs. Clcman, Wiley Bros,
Henry and number of others have
as well bred draught and coaching
horses as are to be found in the
country: there are a number OF fine
driving teams and rapidly growing
class of saddlers and thoroughbreds.
A special feature will be made this
year of saddle animals and there is
every expectation that many ladies,
far in excess of the number which
participated last year, will be identi-
fled with the movement President
Bryan Of the State college at Pull
man has many times praised and en-
Couraged the movement toward the
breeding, in this safe, of definite pur-
pose animals and has commended
the street parades of horses, which
have become an annual feature in
a number of towns. He said last
year that he hoped the movement
here would become nucleus for an
animal exhibition
'Nhere is every belief that 200 ari-
mails can be got into the parade this
year. Cups and ribbons will be
awarded, the avenue will be the pa
:ade ground and the people of the
city and the visitors for the day will
be shown that in Yakima there are
some OF the best saddle, harness and
draught horses to be found anywhere
in the United States.
