various phases and of inestilhable value
to the town and country alike was the
flrst annual Camas Prairie horse show
which closed Saturday night after two
days of unprecedented exhibition and
display. Being the first show of it's
Kind in Idaho and nearby counties the
opportunity of comparison as means
OF conveying even faint idea of the
magnitude of the show is not at hand
but it is. a gratifying fact, universally
commented upon by exhibitors, local
citizens and visitors, that the number of
horses entered : and the exceptional
quality of the animals which We'd for
supremacy in the various classes, were
all far in excess of the fondest dreams
and most sanguine anticipations of the
promoters.
Under sunny skies the show enjoyed
the choicest offerings of the weather
man throughout both days. More than
225 entries in the various classes were
announced when the entry book was
declared closed, although there were
many splendid specimens of horseflesh
in the parade and on the streets of the
city during the two days which were
not entered in any of the competition.
In the opening day parade, led by the
Grangeville military band, there were
approximately 800 horses, ranging in
merit and class from the prize winning
stallion in the grand championship
class to the sleekest cayuse in the saddle
