Judging of cattle will be in progress
at the state fair grounds today and
the animals will be paraded in the
show ring, which is a new addition
to the ground equipment, with ample
seating accommodation for a large
number of spectators. Some of the
finest animals ever seen in this state
will be paraded there during the af-
ternoon and the lovers Of classy beasts
of any kind will find the benches
an opportunity to witness a display
such as Washington has never known,
in some breeds at least Superintend-
ent G. NJ. Richards is much pleased,
generally with the stock section
though altogether out of patience with
the entries of horses. Mr.. Richards
was secretary in Yakima of local
horse exhibit in which there was got
ten together a finer class of horses
than is exhibited at the state fair this
year The Messrs Wiley, Cleman.
Russell, Henry and others of this val
ley whom he knows to possess high
bred and classy animals have not
entered.
Splendid Lot of Cattle.
There were never so many cattle
nor such good ones nor ever so poor
a horse exhibit said Mr.. Richards.
The sheep and goats are good and
while the hogs are hardly up in
number to former displays the quality
in most all classes is excellent and
in Duroc Jerseys in particular is SUI
perior. The Brown Swiss are the only
cattle which have hitherto been shown
here which are missing this year and
in their stead we have two herds of
Dutch belted which are the first ever
shown here the only other previous
exhibit of these animals in this state
being at the A.-Y.-P. Exposition at
Seattle.
I'VE have the largest Holstein-
Freisan show ever held on the Pa
cific coast. The A.-Y.-P. and the
Lewis & Clark eXpositions not ex-
cepted. This unusual display is due
to two reasons. One is the growing
popularity of the breed in this section
and the other is the sale at auction
of registered animals to be held here
Thursday morning. Several people
who contemplate establishing herds
are here to bid in on the sale We
have what might be called a herd and
poose, Ore. is here with herd and
Mr.. Looney has a number of bulls.
There is as fine herd of Guernseys
as was ever seen. In fact it is the
herd which took first at the A-Y.-P
at Seattle in competition with the
world.
Some of the Exhibits.
1.-TWO herds of Dutch belted are
shown and they are from California.
They are entered by G.. y. Strader
and Jennie Strader and as / have
said they are the first ever shown
here. This is always a popular breed
with spectators.
&c. A. Draper of Elberton and F..
W. Porter of Albany, Ore, have each
got with them we'll fitted herds of
red polled and George Simeral of Nc
Clay, Ore, has a we'll fitted herd of
Devons. This is the stock originally
imported by l.. V. McWhorter of this
city.
I'm Shorthorns there were never
better animals than are exhibited in
the herds of A. d. Dunn of Wapato
and w. Q. Minor of Hepner, Ore.
These animals have been shown at
a number of places and there Is
nothing to go against them. They
are making nice fight against them
"A. II. Barnum OF Moro. Ore. is
here with HerefordS which have the
competition to themselves but the an
imals are the best seen on the circuit
since the days when Hon, a. j. .SHawn
i was sweeping everything before him.
They are beautifully fitted herd
Another herd Of popular, pretty and
mertorious animals is the Aryshires
shown by j. w. elise of Willowmo or
farm"

In connection with the cattle may
! be mentioned the test for the best
milch COW which will begin today I'M
