who really feel an interest In the chief
industry Of Iowa and the addition Of
. great many who would be willing to
serve the psopls In ono capacity or
another. and the friends Of tho state
officials, Legislators and others, the
state fair attendance took another big
boom today. When the trsaurer quit
counting cash last night he found he
had Just about sufficient money to pay
all the expenses Of the fair. which will
run to above $4,000. The rest, which
will be taken In today and tomorrow.
will go for permanent improvements.
either those that have been made or
are to be made.
Tho reception to state officials took
place 1t 10 o'clock at the administra-
ton building and was q success. These
annual events have come to be very
popular with the people.
The races on Tuesday were unusual
ly good and an immense crowd saw
them. The night shows have been
attended by all the people who could
get thru the gates.
Demand for British Judge.
The exhibitors Of English Shire
horses at the state fair are talking Of
making up q purse to part pay ex-
penses Of bringing from England for
next year a famous judge OF horses to
place the ribbons tor the horses. There
have been judges Of stock at the state
Se!- from, England and Scotland They
do not do any better work in the juds-
ing ring than the domestic stock judy
ing product, but they are free from all
possible prejudice and there 10 a GER
tain prestige in having . man come
across the water to do the stock judy
ing.
But the Iowa annual livestock show
never could have been built up to Its
present very high standard save for
the fact that Iowa has always insisted
upon having the best judges that are
to be had. regardless Of cost. and they
have all been high minded competent
persons. Of undoubted integrity and
capacity, and their awards have COM
manded the respect Of all the breeders.
There has never been any complaint
about the judging in Iowa. An exhibit
tor will now and then get mad because
he feels he lost where he should have
won. but that il a part Of the game.
and no really prominent or expert
ensed exhibitor has ever complained
Of his treatment at the Iowa fair.
A great deal depends on tho livestock
Judges. They can make or ruin = fair.
There Is q dozen or more Of them at
work this week and they have some
hard problems before them.
Beesdsrs' Futurities.
There has not been anything at any
state fair In American quite the equal
Of the big show of the what IL called
the National Draft Horse Breeders fu-
turtles. This 10 an event singular
alone for tho Iowa fair. It 10 Of ma
tional import and 10 intended to give
encouragement to the small breeders
Of stock. That It has this effect was
shown yesterday when at the close Of
the contest for these prizes. $4,000 cash
was paid for the winning Ally. This
was paid by Senator E. B. White of
Virginia, great Virginia breeder Of
Percherons and this Is his first visit
to to the Iowa fair Il also L. $500 more
than was ever before paid for q Per-
cheron yearling FLY in this country. 1t
is significant, also. that the winning
FLY in class of thirty-three was bred
by q small breeder, John Boswell, OF
Bradford. III.

agree" said Wayne Dinsmore Of Chi
cago, that the thirty-three Percheron
yearling hllies In this futurity contest
made the finest showing Of Percherons
Of any age ever shown anywhere. I
have been attending fairs these many
years and never saw anything like It.
All but three of the hllies were Am
erican bred. OF the imported ones one
was from the champion at the inter-
national and the other from $4,000
prize winner; but neither one OF the
three imported allies was good enough
to remain in the ring with the Amer
lean bred Allies. That shows the su-
periority Of the American breeder ana
IL shows that the small breeder has as
good q chance as anybody. When the
show was over the winner got $1,000
cash from the big Virginia breeder,
price never before equaled-"
The contests In tho ehires. Clydes
and Beigians were good but not. OF
course, up to tho Percherons.
