LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT At
APPALACHIAN EXPOSITION
Splendid Display from Appalachian Re-
gon to Be Made September
II to II.

Few people realize the magnitude of
the live stock exhibit and horse show
which will be held in connection with
the Appalachian Exposition in Knox
vile, Tenn. The live stock exhibit
will extend through the first week OF
the exposition period, the dates for
this exhibit being September IL to IL,
inclusive. In perfecting the details
for this great exhibit, nothing has
been left undone to make it outstand-
ing in every particular
When the live stock committee was
appointed, men were selected who are
themselves practical live stock peo-
pie and who have the interest of this
great industry at heart This commit
tee in turn went into the exhibit work
with vim, and each department con-
sistlng OF the following: Department
A, horses and ponies; B, mules and
jack stock; G, beef cattle; d, dairy
cattle; E, swine; F, sheep and G,
night horse show, has been developed
on an equal basis and consequently
the admirer of any breed of live stock
may expect to see his ideal we'll rep
resented
The judges who have been appoint
ed to pass upon the merits of the Of
ferent live stock exhibits are men Of
national reputation, and when they
give their decisions they will be back
ed by well founded and conscien-
tious opinion. The following judges

Live Stock Rinq.
The live stock building and exhibit
grounds are ideal in every particular
The ring for the exhibit of cattle, sheep
and hogs is in the form of an oval 100
feet in one direction and seventy-fiVe
feet in the other. The arena for the
exhibit of horses, mules, jacks, jennets
and for the night horse shows is as
fine an open-air arena as there is in
the United States. The show ring is
oval in shape, measuring 225 feet in
length and 100 feet in width, complete
ly surrounded by a wooden guard and
on the outside of which will be ten
foot promenade. The seating arrange
ments are in the form of an amphi-
theater, almost completely surround
ing the ring and has a capacity, when
completed, of holding fully ten thou
sand people. For the night horse
show the arena will be beautifully dec
GRATED and lighted to such an extent
that every thing can be seen practical
ly as we'll as in day light
The premium list for the live stock
exhibit and the horse show is more
liberal than for any similar event in
the south and for the night horse
show the premium list is equal to any
OF its kind in the United States. The
business men Of Knoxville have taken
an unusual interest in this part of
the exposition and as an evidence Of
their interest and good faith they are
offering special stake for gated sad
die horses to be known as the Knox
vile Business Mems Saddle Horse
stake and are giving $500 as the purse
bring together the greatest collection
of gated American saddle horses that
has ever been seen in this country and
it will be unfortunate indeed for any
one to have seen the exposition and
not TO have witnessed the competition
between these great horses, for when
the ribbons will have been tied, it will
practically mean the placing of the
same on the finest gated saddle
horses living today.
Interest Is General.
Live stock people throughout the
southern Appalachian region should
by all means visit the live stock ex-
hibit, for it will give them an oppor-
tunity to study the different breeds in
a practical manner.
The premium list can be obtained
with entry. blanks from DR.. M. Jacob,
chairman of the live stock committee,
Knoxville, Tenn.
