 Large Livestock Display.
 Much credit is due E. w. Stephens, superintendent of the livestock de- partment for the excellent display made, all of the stalls being filled which made the construction of 2 special tie for the stallions necessary. Most all of the big livestock growers of the Northern counties are repre- sented as well as many of the smaller ones.
 The show was judged by G. w. Barnes, a livestock specialist of the University of Arizona. He and Stcph- ems were asked if they had any criticism or suggestion to offer on the display. Both expressed themselves as well pleased with the livestock as 1t show ed a great improvement over last year. The only criticism expressed was the lack of class, making it nee essary for dairy bulls to compete against range bulls and draft horses to compete against light horses. While it is possible to pick the best indlvid- ual in each class the exhibitors do not think it just for them to so complete With different classes for the live stock, the department will be one ot the largest in the Northern Arizona Fair. for then the exhibitors will be only too glad to exhibit their stock.
 Judge Barnes pinned the ribbons as follows:
