HORSE SHOW WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS
An mails Of Class Were Shown at the
Second Exhibition of Fine
Horseflesh Yesterday.

A Stranger dropping into the city
yesterday would have been greatly i'm
pressed by the bustling activity of the
people Early in the morning the
streets were crowded with throngs or
agriculturists ready to welcome the
demonstration train, and busiest
amongst the crowds were the right
royal ladies and children that were
tagging the people right and left. at
two bits a tag, for the benefit of the
nublic parks and library. But the
frowning feature of the day was the
live stock parade in the afternoon.
Surely the breeder of fine horse
flesh did himself pround when it came
TO showing animals of class, and as an
advertising feature of the city and
surrounding country nothing could
have been more opportune, as the chlef
tonic of conversation in the hotel lob
bies and among the travelling public
was this grand pant de. And the own
ers NAV rest assured that people in all
sections of the country will hear of the
grand showing made. Possibly the
majority of the people viewing the
show little realized that one hlgn pred
animal holds a worlds record, and
Wa'Ia Walla can be Justly proud OF the
horse indus 'ry. and herald to the out
side public that no where mas there
ever been a show of this kind Wnere
the high average of horses bred In the
purple has been as great as the one
attained at the second annual parade
and show of the S.ockbreeders assoc
iation of Walla Walla County.

Party to Visit RhoGesia, But
Too Late.

LONDON, Thursday. March 1S.-In
the hope that Theadore Roosevelt
might be persuaded to include Rhode
sia in his forthcoming African tours,
the Duke of Abercorn recently sent
him a cordial invitation from the board
of the British South African company
to visit that country.
In his letter the duke pointed out the
many attractions offered by the jour
ney from Cape Town, and drew partic-
ular attention of the world to Victoria
Falls and the Ma.ope Hills, in the
midst of which is the tomb of Cecil
Rhodes.
The Duke of Abercorn also called al
tention to the excellent prospects for
the hunting of big game in northern
Rhodesia Possibly this was upper
most in the ex-president's mind when
in his letter hear lily thanking the duke
for the invitation, he wrote:
"Your proposal is so very attractive
that I should certainly have closed
with it if there had been time"
1t is said here that the guns Mr
Roosevelt will use in Africa will be
equipped with silencers, in which case
he very likely will make new records
in big game hunting.
Letters received here from Mobasa
say that Mr.. Roosevelt probably viii
