Parade Wat Over a Mile in Length
In Which Wat on Exhibition Over
$100,000 Worth of Morte flesh of
Beit Breeding of the Country.
Kindling by far any horse show
ever seen In the Pacific Northwest
mi, I .tiunllltiir nnvthlnu similar ever
attempted went of the Mississippi
river, the Salem Statesman aayathat
the great Salem horse show of 1W9
established a new record for that city
and augured even greater things for
yearn to coino.
In the Quality of stock exhibited.
In the general apperanc- of tho ani
mate and In every feature that g a
to make a well rounded exhibit the pro
motors of tho Salem show and i!iom
who hud entries were hlithly com
mended on every hand.
Between eight and ten thotiMtnd peo
ple were in Salem Saturday and were
treated to an exhibition of over $10",
000 worth of horse flesh which Ini lud
ed some of the best In the known
world.
The day was for the most part was
pleasant, but there were Intervals of
light showers and before the (lose of
the exhibition it grew quite chilly
with heavier rain Just as the awards
were flushed.
Not a single accident happened to
mar the splendid success of the day
so far as the horso show proper was
concerned. Anna Salomon, one of the
prize winners at the show was thrown
under a falling horse on State street
and injured, but no bones were brok
en and the young lady will recover.
The show this year nearly doubled
last year's exhibit and fixed perman
ently the certain popularity of regular
exhibitions of similar nature, calling
for an especially constructed ground
and track, with convenient Judges'
stand and seates for spectators, all of
which will doubtless be enclosed and
covered to guard against such weather
as that of yesterday and possibly
worse.
The parade was over a mile In
length and contained a rare collection
of the finest horses in America and
embraced varieties suited to every
imaginable purpose from that of the
Ian horse, so to speak, to the heaviest
draft animals In the entire world.
The great Belgian stallion, owned
by McKay Brothers of St. Paul, Ma
rlon county, is one of the largest draft
stallions in the world weighing 2510,
while among the yearling Shetlands
of E. F. Anderson of Albany, was a
span that might have been fondled In
the arms of almost any hearty femin
ine lover of pets. They reminded the
spectator of overgrown rats as nearly
as anything aside from miniature
horses, and were of an ideal type to
be hitched to the "express" wagon of
the boy of eight or ten.
