Lefebure won second in the aged mare class and Mr. Tate second, 
third, and fourth in the two-year-old filly class. 
STANDARD BRED TROTTERS. 
The rings in this class were especially well filled in the older classes, 
although there were not full entries in the younger classes. James Watt, 
Des Moines, Iowa, won first in the aged stallion class. E. A. Elliott, of Des 
Moines, first in the two-year-old stallion class; Winchester Stock Farm 
first in the two-year-old and yearling stallion classes, also in the two-

Pickard, of Harlan, Iowa, won first on horse foal. Thos. Bass, of Mexico, 
Mo., first on four-year-old mare; Mr. Brouhard first on yearling filly; Mr. 
Bruere first on mare foal. Shaw Bros, won on produce of mare. 
AMERICAN CARRIAGE HORSES. 
This class brought out a first rate show. Mr. Smith won first on stal- 
lion four years old or over, and first on stallion with three of his get; 
Mr. Elliott won first on three-year-old stallion; Mr. Brouhard first on 
yearling stallion, yearling mare and mare foal. 
SHETLAND PONIES. 
There were some splendid ponies on the grounds and they attracted 
much attention, especially when shown in the pavilion and under har- 
ness and saddle. Mr. Bunn won first in all the stallion classes, first in all 
the mare classes with the exception of mare three years old or over, 
which went to Charles Parmenter. Mr. Bunn also won all prizes for 
Shetlands in harness and on stallion and get and grand display. Horace 
Anderson, of Des Moines, Iowa, won first on pony under saddle. 
THE CATTLE SHOW. 
THE SHORT-HORN S. 
Always strong at the Iowa State Fair, the Short-horn show equaled 
the record of previous years this season. It was not perhaps any stronger 
than it has been in previous years, but a show nevertheless that would 
have done credit to a world's fair or international exposition, and few 
shows of the year will surpass it in the number and quality of the ex- 
hibit. Iowa breeders continued the record they have made in the past two 
years, bringing out better conditioned cattle and more good cattle than 
they have ever brought out before, furnishing the outside herds of Elmen- 
dorf Farm, F. W. Harding, and D. R. Hanna competition of the most in- 
teresting character. While few of the Iowa herds make the show circuit 
and therefore are not as well conditioned as a rule as the outside herds, 
yet they always show strong at the Iowa State Fair and give competition 
in the younger classes in particular that is anything but easy to overcome. 
The younger classes of the show were particularly strong this year.
