ment for All-List of Winners.

Fair weather, large crowds, many en-
tries in, all classes and unflagging in
terest and enthusiasm greeted the
Second Annual Idaho County Horse>
Show which was on the boards in
Grangeville on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week. The show was
success in every particular and it was
the unanimous opinion among both the
home folks and the countless visitors
that such expositions are of vast bene-
fit to the town and country and to the
public at large.
Thursdays show opened with .
parade Of all the horses entered in the
various competitions, over 200 in all.
There were horses of practically every
kind, breed and description, all groomed
and fitted to appear in the pageant to
the best possible advantage. The show.
ing of registered stations, while not
quite as extensive as last year, was as
interesting as ever.
Many Grade Horses Shown.
The entries of grade horses, the kind
which predominant on the prairie and in
all parts of the country from which the
show drew its patronage, were far in
excess of last year and brought to the
view Of the crowds in the city the best
specimens of horseflesh in the country.
These grade horses were particularly of
interest because the average Horse
Show visitor knows that it is the grade
horse that is doing the work of the
country and that good grade stock is
recognized the world over.
The whole Of Thursday afternoon was
given over to the judging Of horses. All
judging was done by Dean w. L. Car
lyle Of the university at Moscow and T.
F. Mcconnell, county agriculturist Of
Lewis county, at Nezperce. Following
each decision Dean Carlyle gave an in
teresting talk outlining the judges
reasons for making their decisions.
These proved to be highly appreciated
and instructive and many valuable

remarks made at the close of each con-
test. All the registered stock was
judged Thursday afternoon.
