Thomas Boylen labored throughout the day selecting the' woolly animals which were tick eted for ribbons of blue and -red and white. C. M. McAllister had a her culean task in selecting the winners in the swine department, as the en tries were crowded and the porkers were all of such a high grade that morfe than oifte he had to give some of the swine a second inspection be fore, making final decision. Exhltltors Accept Decisions. But through it all the breeders and exhibitors showed that .Bplendld spirit of sportsmanship which made .the work of the judges a genuine pleas ure 'Where a bitter word of criticism herd or there might hav made their lot a hard one. "Im not worrying over the blue ribbons," was the philosophical com ment of a- Willamette ' swine, raiser when his porkers failed to receive the colored ribbons.-- "I've had . as many offers' to seil ,ihy stock as some of those who are getting all the prizes, and. after all. swine breeding is a business proposition. If the other fellows get all the prizes, I say more power to them. We cati't all be win ners, you know." This is the" spirit which officials of the Pacific International Livestock exposition say makes for the success of the 1919 show. They likewise unite In declaring that spirit such as this will be the foundation . lor" even" a greater show in 1920.- All - during the afternoon tie stadium was kept filled with the blooded animals for the official in speotlon of the judges, and as soon as one class .had been completd and classified another class, was waiting at the gates ready to enter for the eupreme test of the expolition.

A band under the leadership of Percy A. Campbell furnished music throughout the afternoon, and this added to the general gaiety of the event.

STOCK SHOW SIDELIGHTS Mr. Mortensen, professor of dairying Iowa State college, formerly lived n Portland and he still retains a deep ondness for his former home. Mr. Mortensen is on of the dairying- lec- urers at the Western Dairy Products show, held in conjunction with the xposition. When he left Portland 1 years ago his daughter was but 1 years old. She has since grown to H young womanhood due ner cnuanoou friends are still rememberea as sne . corresponds with her former Portland , playmates as though sne naa oeen bsent but a few montns. one oi ner greatest disappointments was in be ne- unable to accompany "tiaaay on his present trip to Portland. If O. M. Plummer, general manager of the exposition, would tie a clarion- noted bell about his neck he would render an invaluable service to the score of exhibitors at -the pavilion. From early morning until late at night his office is crowded with breeders with the same question: Where's Plummer," but as Is always the case with a man who is manag ing a show of the magnitude of this stock show, he hasn't time to stick his feet under his desk and take things easy. He is on the jump from morning until night and lucky is the man who can draw him aside for even minute's conversation. Louis B. Simpson, prominent Ore- gonlan, was wearing one of those perpetual smiles as he Btrolled about the pavilion yesterday. The answer was easily obtainable. His sister, ! Mrs. Roy M. Pike of San Francisco, took a couple of first prizes at the! opening horse show Monday night, and promises to add several more blue ribbons to her initial collection before the curtain is rung down on the 1920 horse show. Mr. and Mrs. Pike brought a large string of blooded animals for the horse show and Mr. Simpson, naturally, is interested as much in this feature of the exposition as in the exhibit of other classes of stock. This is without a doubt the finest Holstein show Oregon has ever staged and the 1920 show of the Pacific In ternational Livestock exposition ranks with the finest and largest in the country," was the tribute of W. S. Mowscrip, judge of the Holstein class. He comes from Lake Elmo, Minn. Mrs. Mowscrip accompanied him on his trip to Portland. It Is not every stock show which can procure Mr. Mowscrip's services as a judge, but he is so enthused over the stock pos sibilities of the Pacific Northwest that he readily consented to com to Portland to judge the Holsteins. The breeders of Guernsey cattle will stage a banquet at 8 o'clock tonight at the Benson hotel, and needless to say. Clatsop county will be well rep resented about the banquet board. The lower Columbia district is es pecially adapted to the raising of Guernseys and the breeders of that section are specializing In this class of dairy cattle. "I'm here to extol the virtues of the foster mother of the world the Holstein cow," was the proud an nouncement of Rollo W. Watson of Tillamook,, representing the . Tilla mook County Holstein Breeders' as sociation and the Holstein-Friesian association of America. As secretary-treasurer of the Til lamook county association Mr. Wat son was responsible for bringing that county's choicest Holsteins to the Pa cific International exposition for ex hibit purposes, and he had every rea son to rejoice yesterday when he learned that six out of seven of the Tillamook Holstein entries had been given ribbons in the judging yester day morning. He is an ardent booster for the local livestock show, ana when O. M. Plummer made his trip to Tillamook county for, funds for the new. pavilion the dairy cattle breed ers and owners oversubscribed their allotted quota by more than 50 per cent. "That indicates how Tillamook county feels about this big exposition, and you can take my word for it that our interest will never wane so long as I am on top of the grass that's green th whole year round, he de clared. - If a man really believes that his product is entitled to real recognition, a, few temporary ' reverses will not cause him to lose heart. For Instance, F. W. Christensen. cheese inspector for Tillamook county, took eight cheese entries to the Oregon state falV and went away from the state exposition without a ribbon even a white one. Undaunted, he brought the same six entries to the Western Dairy Products show and secured the first six prizes and a tie for seventh out of his eight entries. - "To show the difference in judging, I sent the head of cheese which se cured the lowest score at the state fair to the national show" at Chicag; a month later and secured ninth place out of 120 entries," he laid, "Then wj brought them all here to the Pacific International show and carried off every ribbon they were giving for high-grade cheese." Although there are a few federal and state laws prohibiting raffle when the Red Cross is interested Uncle Samuel is willing to wink hi left eve and close the right. All which means that these eight prise winning heads of cheese from Tllla mook will be raffled off Saturday evening and the proceeds will be given to the Red Cross. O. M. Plum mer, general manager of the exposi tion, will handle the raffle. Paid admissions Monday to both the stock show and horse show numbered 4100, according to the official tab ulation completed yesterday morning. In addition to the paid admissions, there were a great number of mem bership passes, exhibitors" passes and others which swelled the opening day attendance to 7200. The attend ance yesterday was far greater, but the offfcial tabulation will not be known until officials complete their check this morning. Unofficial esti mates place the total number of per sons in the pavilion yesterday great ly in excess of 10.000. -flIlllIlIIIIIlIlIllllllIllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllI1llllllllllllIlIlllIlllllIlllIIIllllllIlllIIIlIlllllllI111IIIIlltlllllllllll.
