Des Moines. Aug. 16.-When Prof. c.
F. Curtiss, of Ames. was doing the
rounds OF the Canadian fairs he re-
ceived list Of the horse exhibitors at
the Iowa state fair and number Of ami
mails each has entered, and he showed
it to the managers Of the fair at Bran
don. They all but denounced it as a
fake and at fist refused to believe that
any such entry list had actually been
made at any fair anywhere in the
world 1t was beyond their belief
that q horse show with thousand
horses is possible as regular annual
event in an American state.
But there is no fake about it. The
entry list for horses at the Iowa fair
foots up 9S1 animals. This doesn't in
clude any of the racing stock. 1t does
include the ponies and the large list OF
entries Of hunters and jumpers and
fancy horses. In fact there Is no one
feature of the horse show that has
come up so rapidly as this latter. Tom
Bass is to be there again with big
line Of saddle horses, hunters and
to fancy steps. The saddle horse has
not been driven off the track by the
.. c. Cameron Of Winni-
peg, who is lieutenant governor Of the
province Of Manitoba, is headed this
way with nine saddle and light harness
horses; and J. a. Knott, also Of Winn!-
peg, is bringing several horses.
Many Big Exhibitors.
Fred Pabst is to send to the Iowa fair
from Oconomowoc big string from his
famous stables. The Wild Rose farm
from St. Charles, ILL.,. is sending big
bunch Of heavy harness horses. o.
Mooers. formerly of Columbia, Mo-, now
of Des Moines, is again Heavy eXhib-
1tor in horses. George A. Heyl, Of
Washington. Ill. Is to bring a great
bunch Of ponies. All the old favorites
with the big breeds will be on hand
Corsa, Truman. French, Mcmillan, Lee
febure. and others.
The cattle entries total $50. which
makes the cattle ands-hore exhibit
pretty close to being on q par rs to
numbers. The Shorthorn and Hereford
lists are about as usual. but the Angus
Is to be the largest ever made at q
state fair. The dairy cattle are show
ing up well. There will be the largest
exhibit Of Ayrshires, Holsteins and
Guernseys ever made: also bunch of
Dutch Belted to come from Arizona and
several herds Of Brown Swiss. The
cattle show is declared by Secretary
Corey to be q very well balanced at
far.
Swine Entries Light.
The swine show will be somewhat
light, for reasons that are we'll known.
but there will be excellent representa-
tives of every breed. The sheep pens
will show several new herds from Wis
consin. The poultry people are fairly
overwhelming the management for
space
Owing to the large number Of entries
the Judging Of the famous national
livestock futurities-an event which is
given at the Iowa fair alone-will COM
mence at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning
instead Of later. These ''futurities" are
great stimulus to good horse and
swine breeding.
There Is anticipation Of a larger ex-
hibit this year than ever before. The
success Of the butter show in the past
has attracted attention this way and
Information has been received indi.
eating that a great many Of the better
creameries Of the state will send but
ter to be scored here. The old building
which has been used as a dining hall
for a number Of years but which was
originally erected for dairy show. is
