Live Stock to Be
Featured at the
Big Panama Fair
With a fine determination to excel In
all departments of Its multitudinous dis
play, the Panama-Pacific International
exposition directorate seems destined to
fulfill every promise, from that which
Insures "opening on time," (February 20,
1916) to that promlso which assures the
world that a new standard will have
been set In exposition history when the
pageantry, the pomp, the summed up
oxporlence of the nations and the epito
mized learning which will be called tho
exposition, shall have closed Its doors,
Deccrriber 4, 1915.
In every department of e.xpotttlon enter
prise there Is abroad the spirit which
moans success because It means to excel.
Almost any department of the exposi
tion's energies may be selected as evl
denco of this spirit and thesa promises.
There Is tho department of live stock
for Instance.
In all expositions of whatever magni
tude or Importance there Is always nn
expressed' and deep disappointment on the
part or a vast majority of the "Visitors be
cause "the live stock exhibit Is over."
Difficulties seemingly Insurmountable
have always prevented expositions from
maintaining a continuous live stock dis
play; and the universality of regret over
this fact arises from the circumstances
that practically every man, woman and
child In all the whole world Is Interested
In "llvo stock" whether that subject be
to them summarized In their affections
for a pet squirrel, a fluffy, useless but
adored dog, a tabby cat, a pony, a groat,
a pair of pigeons, or a guinea pig. Yet,
notwithstanding the universal Interest
In live stock, the display in .that de
partment of all expositions heretofore
has been limited to hut a brief period
during the llfo of thJ exposition. The
Panama-Pacific International exposition
will be the first to make th dis
play continuous from the opening un
til the closing day; and during the entire
season of a little more than nine months,
there will be shown in the spacious area
I reserved for the livestock section the
highest quality of breeds from every cor-
ner of the world and the fleetest horses
that travel in harness or under saddle
will work out their paces for prizes, the
aggregate of which is a fabulous figure.
In all of its effort the department of
live stock seeks quality rather than numbers.
At. DRBSIlEn,
It makes It easy for those who are
working to win tho prises offered by The
Bee In this Panama contest to have
Dresher Druthers' cleaning and dyelnR
establishment, as welt as the- Dresher
tailoring business, to draw votes from.
The largo volume of trade which Drcshftr
Brothers draw and tho ever Increasing
popularity of the Dresher servlco make
tho Blithering of receipts from this source
an easy task, as la shown by the num
ber of Dresher receipts which have al
ready been turned In.

That a marvelous exhibit of domestic
animals of the Andes is planned by Ar
gentina at the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional exposition is news mado publlo
by his excellency, Romulo 8. Naon, Ar
gentina's ambassador to the L'nltod
States.
Car floats are arriving; regularly at the
Panama-Pacific International freight
ferry slip, bearing cars loaded with building-
material, Upon arrival they are taken
by the standard gauge ejiglnes of tha
exposition railway and carried to any part
of the grounds where needed, even Into
exhibit palaces. This will be the first
great American exposition to be held at
an ocean port.
The fertile soil brought to the Panama
Pacific International exposition grounds
from the Interior valleys of California,
which has been placed over the barren
sand and trravel, Is ao rich that largo
quantities of mushrooms have sprung up
and are eagerly picked by employes and
visitors whenever found. The grass sown
on this surface soil springs up quickly
and grows luxuriantly.
Blue, gold and orange have been chosen
aa tha official colors of tha Panama
Pactflo International exposition and will
be employed on the exposition flags and
banners. The diagonals of the flag are
blue and the body orsmffe. In tho cnter
la the setting sun of gold with a bat
tleship in outline pasalnr through the
Panama canal. The colors were sug
gested by Jules duerin, director of color
of the exposition.
In addition to great musical festivals,
such as the Welsh National ICtsteddfod.
the Oerman sieng-orfests and others, there
will be constant music on the Panama
Pacific International exposition grounds
throughout the whole period of the ode
bratlon. There will be both military and
orchestras playing practically all day in
some part or part of the exposition
grounds. Ten thousand dollars will be of
fered by the lsteddfx4 In th chief choral
coapetltioa.
