One of the big features of the show this year will be the fat clas ses in the Stock Yards proper. Each year has demonstrated the fact that the West can produce some of finest cattle, hogs and sheep ln the country. Competition will be keen this year. In order to house the show, the entire barn and pen room of the Uni on Stock yards, together with eight mammoth tents will be required. The main tent is 100x200 ft. while the others are 50x200 ft. This is hous- ng the show in a similar way to the practice of the Scotch and English shows, which have flourished for many generations. A very important feature in con nection with the show will be the an nual sales of breeding stock. On Tuesday morning, December 6th, there will be an offering of Guernsey cattle from Edgemoor Farm, Santee, California and the same afternoon there will be a combination hog sale; Wednesday the entire day will be us ed for hogs, cattle and sheep; Thurs day afternoon the ramous Shorthorn sale of Minor, Dunn, Brown and oth ers; Friday all day Holsteins, un der the direction of Colonel Cue. The Pacific International is absol utely free to the people. It is strict ly educational, with no "Wl'ul Wot" or other distract-concession. The people who attend this show will see livestock alone. And in no better way can they advance the livestock in dustry of this country than by their presence and active interest in the show. Over $14,00 Spent By Normal Com mittee.
