Last and also least, In point of
number of any of the exhibits, came
the cattle. Though lucie were some
fine animals, the nuiriber was smaller
than either last year or the year be

for the poor showing In this depart
ment, but none of them are entirely
satisfactory . A general lethargy on
the part of fie people owning thoro-

morning at 10 o'lock with the live
stock parade. This extended for ex
actly five blocks and had the usual
extended order of mnrching been fol
lowed out, It would have at least a
block longer. The parade this morn
ing differed from and was better than
the last livestock parade, for tell rea
son that there were many more sin

Hundreds of people lined the side
walks and enjoyed the opportunity
of witnessing the display of blooded
animals and the chance to note the
prize winners. A blue or red ribbon
was attached to each animal winning
a premium, denoting first and second
prizes.
