| their commentator and satisfaction
with the Continent. and all are
anxious to return again next year in
! the event II is decided to make a per-
/ manent annual event of the show
Most of the breeders suggested that
the show follow the National Feeders
and Breeders Fat Stock show in
March when practically all the Fort
Worth exhibitors would be glad to
bring their show herds to Tulsa.
Bad Time of Year.
In reviewing the live stock and
horse show features OF the first Mid
. Continent exhibition, arrangements
for which were made with lightning
like rapidity, 1t might be well to take
into consideration the almost unsur-
mountable difficulty of assembling
show herds at this time of the year,
and the fact of the brief time allowed
for publicity and entries, under which
circumstances the past weeks show
ing In both divisions have been pro-
nounced nothing less than marvellous.
An exception to these draw backs
was the shorthorn sale of cattle on the
opening day when the average price
per head topped the American Royal
shorthorn sale in Kansas City-topped
one Of the greatest sales in the coun-
try by $50 per head.
The live stock end of the eXposi-
tion was almost an afterthot, and had
it not been for the suggestion being
made to President Lewis by l.. G.
Goodell, manager of the White City
Jersey farm. the probabilities are that
there would have been the single at
traction of the horse show.
Asked his opinion of the success
of the show, Goodell said:
1T has met with my greatest salts
faction. 1t was fine, and exception
ally so as first event at an off sea-
son. 1t should, in my estimation, be
made permanent annual event, for
it will have a vital influence In pro-
motion of better live stock, not only
in Tulsa county, but in the state at
large.
March Good Month.
should the exposition be held in
March, directly following the Fort
Worth show there is no question of
its being a financial success, for there
would be arrayed a string of herds
that would attract visitors from all
adjoining states"
Secretary Jackson was congratu-
lated on all sides yesterday afternoon
and night. and exhibitors thanked
him for the courteous attention re-
ceived during their visit.
Ralph Hamilton OF Keota, Iowa,
Judge of the riding classes at the horse
show. expressed himself as being
highly pleased with the Mid Continent
show.
Considering the short time in
which preparations were perfected"
said Hamilton. the show was nothing
less than marvellous. With ample
time for arrangements your secretary
can easily make the attendance equal
the nationwide advertised shows.
Your classes have been fairly well
filled and the exhibitors highly
pleased, which will tend to bring addi-
tional stables to your second show
should you decide to hold it."
George Heyl. Washington. Ill, who
Judged the driving classes, heartily
concurred with Hamilton.
