OVER
Infinite Pains Required
To Keep Them in Top
Condition, Shown
Thousands ot persons -will view
the afternoon racing programs at
the Diamond Jubilee state- fair
here the coming week, bat proba
bly comparatively few of them will
think or the care that the thor
oughbred horses demand after
they are off the race track.
So Dr. W. H. Lytle, superinten
dent of the speed department of
the fair, has prepared1 the follow
ing Interesting Information on
what goes on "behind scenes"
after the race is run:
'After the race ig run, the horse
is quickly blanketed, led to the
stable and la immediately spou
ged carefully, removing all dust,
and dirt. Next, a few swallows of
water are allowed; he is too hot
for more. Next a good bath is giv
en using luke warm Water and
often shampoo soap. This takes
eight minutes or less. The horse
duly washed, a dry rag rub is giv
en. '.making use of linen salt sack
rags; nothing Is better. Once dry,
summer or winter, the horse is
covered with a woolen blanket,
thick or thin, according to tho
temperature, so the horse will
cool off gradually.
The animal is then turned over
to the exercise boy to be led in a
circle for nearly an hour. Every
four or five rounds the horse is
given a few swallows of water.
This is continued until he. shows
that he has had enough "fey re-,
fnsine- more. Now th hnrsa i
brought to the stall for a brush
and "do up". Any cuts or shin
bruises are attended to with
: wound lotion, or the veterinarian
,is called for more serious injur
ies. Doctoring being finished, the

the race is over, me animai en
ters the deep, straw-bedded stall
to rest. The fresh hay and the wa
ter await. He is turned into the
stall loose and may do as he
chooses.. He 'generally goes to the
hay and . what is consumed is im
mediately replaced; there must
always be plenty of hay except"
right after the noon feed on the
day of the race: 1
Most horses seem to know when
they are to race and some will
not even eat the noon hay. How
ever, it is always taken away to
prevent over-filling. Horses are
fol throe timers dailv. always at
regular intervals. Non-race dajr3
suppers are at five. The days of
the race it is often later. Four
quarts of oats is a feed; the pa
is removed after an hour to de
velop the habit of regular eating.
After the oats pail is removed
there are tempting carrots, apples,
alfalfa or other horse delicacies
given by admiring grooms, stable
boys or owners. This is not for
affection alone but for its physi
cological value. Horsemen say
their animals thrive through at
tention. There mu3t be cooper
ation between animals and their
attendants. r
Bangtails Guarded -x
-The feed pail removed nd the
water changed, the door ia closed
for the night. Good horsemen like
to sleep near their horses to pre
vent possible tampering. Often a
watch dog is part of the crew to
give warning should someone he
taking advantage of the horse's
fove for carrots by slipping along
jjjome carrois in which dope is
deeply burled. Some stables even
have electrlS alarms.
Horses should run not oftener
than eachix days for the best
results. 3he first day after the
race the hfrse is walked without
the saddle? The second day a sad
dle is put on him and a short gal
lop is made. The third day he
Scarries a saddle and goes into a
Jong gallop. The fourth day,

ning, and the sixth day he is
ready to go. -"This plan being fol

Admission Price
Policy Announced
Although the many new fea
tures and the fact that the fair
is this year celebrating its 75th
anniversary would by themselves
boost attendance records the
state fair administration is ex
pecting its : new admission policy
to lift attendance by large fig
ures. Chief change in the admission
charges has been the adoption of
a "half price after six", policy.
During the day the customary ad
mission will be charged but after
6 o'clock at night will be halved.
Children under 14 years of age
will all be admitted free at all
times. In previous year s only
children under 12 were admitted
without charge.

First Fair Was Held I at Forest Grove
In 1854; Initiar Exhibit of Oregon Products Then
Thougii Minutes Show That
i -v.' - - .-.! ;; '.-.r v-i ; j
APPROACH of the Diamond Jubilee Oregon state fair sent
Albert Tozier, patriarch of the state fair camp grounds,
on a search through historical records to bring to light
some interesting data concerning the first fairs in Oregon.
Tozier found that the first fair held in Oregon was in
1854, seven years before the infant fin terms of the now 75-
year-old institution) state fair
was born at .Oregon City in Oc
tober 1881- . .-
Washington county has the
honor of having the first fair
In, Oregon, the records show. This
county beat Yamhill county by
two days to the title of queen
mother of Oregon fairs.and was
six "days a'aead of j Marion coun
ty, which held its; first fair Oc
tober 11. Polk county came in a
quick fourth, with the first fair
there held October 12. 1854.
Board Disagreed
i The Washington county fair,
held October 5, 1854, almost
died a-borning. And this is why,
told just as Tozier has written
it to Leo Spitzbart, assistant di
rector of the fair: j
' The minutes of the Washington-fair
board say the fair was
not held. It appears, according
to Cyrus H. Walker, who lived
in Forest Grove, that the ones
chosen to be a fair board had a
disagreement, and two w e'e k s
prior to the time for holding the
fair agreed, to disagree and take
no further action. ,
"But others went, ahead and
did make a display. Thomas Dry
er, publisher of the Oregonian
and who had been engaged to
deliver an address, had not been
informed of the action of the
board. Dryer appeared and did
give a talk at the appointed place
and time, and there was a dis
play of farm products.
"Said Mr. Walker to me 60
years ago, j 'We had a , fair, and
it , was the first attempt in all
Oregon at holding a fair. I was
there and j heard , Dryer, Forest
Grove deserves the credit of at
tempting the first fair.' T
"Officially there was no fair
held by the board that had been
selected, bat citizens went ahead
with the matter. This is an im
portant matter 82 years after,
insofar as history is concerned."
Marion Fair Early
Governor . John W. Davis of
Oregon presided at the prelimin
ary meeting held in Salem April
6, 1854, i to arrange for the Ma
rion county fair, Tozier finds.
Davis resigned and left Oregon
August 5. 1854, so was not here
for the first fair. Ralph C. Geer
was vice-president, J. G. Wilson,
secretary, and C. A. Reed, trea
surer of the Marion county fair.
