' The livestock aristocracy of th coun
try in general and of the Pacific North
west in particular entered upon lta
week of proud show at the grounds of
the Portland Fair & Livestock Associa
tion yesterday, with an array of fine
bred animals such as never before has
been assembled In this section of the
country.
Speedy racing; events, the displaying;
of splendid animals that might have
just stepped from a Bonheur canvas,
exhibitions in the art of breaking un
tamed horses to harness) and saddle, and
awarding of prises to the finest of the
fine, form the more important parts of
the week's programme. The racing
events were taken up yesterday under
the auspices of the Hunt Club, but
showers developed and left the harness
events with unfinished heats.
Two thousand people were out for the
formal opening. The number sounds
small for Portland. But with the sky
overcast and rain certain it is In fact
remarkable that 2000 people paid ad
mission knowing that a few bucketfuls
of water from the threatening clouds
would spoil the speed feast.
Stock Show Attracts All.
The exhibit stables were practically
ready, however, so that those who did
go were enabled to spend the latter
part of the afternoon profitably in
looking over the proud assemblage of
livestock "400." And the significant
point In the exhibit was the splendid
form In which the stock of Cregon and
the Pacific Northwest contrasted with
that of the established districts.
In every class of entry raclfkj North
west etockgrowers and breeders revealed
an advancing knowledge of the Intricate
Industry and there Is every indication
that Northwest animals will figure liber
ally In the distribution of awards for
show and speed. For while, in the past,
the horses of tnls district have found
some difficulty in competing with the
speed demons of Colorado and California,
yet by meeting the conditions that oc
casioned the difference in class, local
breeders believe they are eliminating that
difference. Paul TV. by way of demon
strating the virtue of closer application
to the livestock Industry in the North
west, stepped away with the first heat
In the Z:2 trotting event, while Glory
O'Neal, also a native of this region, won
two straight trotting heats. The events
have yet to be completed, at the pleasure
of the elements, and naturally the final
outcome Is being awaited with the keen
est Interest.
Exhibit Most Pretentious.
This year's show Is really a pretentious
one and livestock men see wonderful
benefits to be reaped from? the competi
tive exhibition of fine stock. There are
in the neighborhood of 1500 animals en
tered at this time in the exhibit and
racing evenui. Of that number 1158 for
show were under cover when the day
closed. These show animals were segre
gated as follows: Catlle, 3 S3 head;
sheep, JOO'head; hogs. 200 head; horses.
tiO head; goats, 25 head. In addition
there were 250 horses and ponies entered
for the various races.
Good management was displayed in the
placing of the big show and there was no
delay or embarrassing mistakes as to
the arrangement of stock. Long before
night every animal had been lodged In
its apportioned point of shelter. Of the
show animals all are here except a small
shipment from Denver and another from
Nebraska. These should be In tcday.
While yesterday marked the formal
opening of the annual Exposition, the
second annual show of the kind here, by
the way. the real opening, so far as pub
lic Interest and enthusiasm Is concerned.
Is expected to develop today. Irrespective
of weather. Stockmen say me public
at large holds to the idea that it Is wise
to allow a big livestock show a day In
Wjhlch to adjust itself properly. So the
relatively small turnout of yesterday
was no grim disappointment.
Big Crowd Expected Today.
Five thousand Is the minimum
banked on for today. This Is Cora
' merclal Club day, the day when the
business men of the city are expected
to show their Interest in the livestock
Industry. That the response will be
bounteous there la no doubt at the ex
position headquarters. Tomorrow Is
expected to be one of the big days of
the week, as it has been set aside as
"All Portland's day." Thursday Is set
apart for the Willamette Valley and for
the grocers and butchers. Friday is
Columbia Valley day and Saturday is
Children's day.
That, aside from being a wholesale
pleasure, attendance on the exposition
Is a serious duty owed by all residents
Is the contention of the officers- and di
rectors of the big show. "'This fair will
decide whether or not the people of
Portland wish to build up the livestock
Industry," said President Wehrung yes
terday. "There has been a lot of
money spent here. We expect the
public's support In completing the work.
for we must depend on the gate receipts
in paying awards and prizes. Great aa
has been the response of stockmen, this
exposition cannot be a success or
achieve its purpose unless It receives
the liberal support of the public"
While the stock show will not be
open after dark, the show grounds,
nevertheless, are to be an animated
sight each night. An Illuminated arena
has been constructed for the breaking
of horses, and fine exhibitions of bron
cho busting as well as the toning down
of young thoroughbreds will form the
prime attraotion. A small army of con
cessionaires has clustered about the
arena, forming what Is known as the
Hqme Stretch," a veritable "Trail In
miniature.
The Judging of the animals will be
taken up this morning and kept up un
til the last day of the exhibition. The
first awards will be announced Wednes
day. A competent staff of Judges has
been selected. They are: Professor J.
A. Craig. Stillwater. Okla,, draft
