After passing two days in and
about Seattle, President Taft went to
Tacoma Friday night and received
from an audience that thronged the
big armory one of. the most cordial
greetings Of his trip. He was enter
tained at dinner at the Union Club.
Before leaving Seattle the Presl-
dent paid last visit to the exposi-
tion grounds to view the live stock
exhibition. Apparently he found
great interest in the exhibit, for ne
passed more than twice the length OF
time allotted to it.
Finally, from the judges stand he
made brief speech amid chorus OF
bleats and grunts and towings, COM
plimenting the exhibitors on their fine
showing and the progress that had
been made in this country in the last
Is years in the way OF scientific farm
ing and breeding.
The President lunched at the Seat
tie Country Club and passed some
time on the golf links.
He promised to attend another ex-
position to be held on the Pacific
coast in 1915 in celebration of the
completion of the Panama canal. He
said the date was beyond his term OF
Office but that his interest in the PAM
anna canal was so great that he would
come.
When the President turned south
from Tacoma he had completed 5000
miles of his $4,000 mile journey. In
elapsed time, however. his journey
was less than one-third completed.
