PURE BRED CATTLE SALE OPENS MONDAY

Territorial Association Will Present a Fine Collection of Animals Nest Week

On Monday morning the annual exhibition of pure bred cattle, under the auspices of The Territorial Cattle Breeders Association, will be upon us. It is fully expected that on this occasion the show and auction sale, which will be begun on the following day and will continue for three days, will eclipse those of the four preceding years.

A large number of exhibitors came in today and the grounds present a lively scene.

For several days cattle have been arriving at Calgary constantly, and the sight of some very fine bulls, each led by one or two men, has been quite common on the streets leading to the Exhibition grounds.

The development of this annual event has been extraordinary rapid. For instance, two years ago the total sales amounted in something less than $5,000. Last year the total jumped to $29,000, or six times that of the previous year. This year it is believed that the figure will be a large increase over last year. There are 500 entries.

The association has an excellent staff of officers, men of prominence and ability. Peter Talbot, M.P. of Lacombe, is the president; our own John A. Turner is the first vice; D. H. Andrews, of Crane Lake, second vice and C.W. Peterson, secretary treasurer. The breed directors are Hon. W. Beresford, Calgary (Shorthorns); Robert Sinton, Regina (Herefords); R.S. Lake, M.P. Grenfell (Polled Angus): E.D. Adams, Millarville (Galloways) and R.K. Bennett, Calgary (Dairy Breeds).

Dr. Elliot, Commissioner of Agriculture for the Territories and F. W. Hodson, Dominion Live Stock Commissioner, are ex-official directors.

On Monday no time will be lost. J. Davidson, of Balsam, Ont., and D. Anderson, of Rigby, Ont. Will officiate as judges and their work begins at 10 a.m. sharp. The Aberdeen Angus will be the first to be considered, then the Herefords and the Galloways. The judging of the Shorthorns will begin at 2 p.m. in the afternoon.

Messrs, Talbot and Lake are busy attending to their parliamentary duties at Ottawa and will therefore not be present. D. H. Andrews, who has always taken a deep interest in the association, is at present in poor health at Winnipeg and will also be an absentee.

The Association has arranged what is hoped to turn out an interesting and useful feature in the addresses to be delivered in Alexander Hall on Monday night. The list of those who are down for addresses is unusually good. It includes John Dryden, ex-Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, and a veteran enthusiast in all that pertains to well bred animals; R. W. Hodson, of Regina; Duncan Anderson and John Davidson, the judges: Dr. Elliot of Regina; T. N. Willing, chief weed inspector for the Territories, and George Harcourt, superintendent of affairs and institutes. These are all the men of standing in their respective lines and what they will say will doubtless command attention.
