SOME AWARDS AT STOCK SHOW

PRIZE FOR BEST SINGLE FAT STEER IS AWARDED TO H. W. MOORE.

TELLER AMMONS' PRIZE HORSE SHOW AT NIGHT DRAWS LARGE CROWD AND WILL BE CONTINUED.

Denver.—Again H. W. Moore, that well known feeder and exhibitor of prize-winning animals, is a winner at the National Western Stock Show. Mr. Moore captures the prize for the best single fat steer in the show. Boothroyd's Pride, a magnificent two-year-old grade Angus, did the trick. This animal is an exceptionally fine type and was pronounced by the big eastern experts good enough to win high honors at any show in the country.

Jerry, a pure-bred Shorthorn shown by the Colorado Agricultural College, was awarded the reserve championship.

A feature of the winnings Monday was the feat of Teller Ammons, the twelve-year-old son of Senator Ammons of Littleton. Teller won first prize with his yearling steer over his father, who showed in the same class. The boy is considered one of the best young feeders in the country and his steer was the subject of much favorable comment from the experts who visited the show.

The attendance was large all day Monday for the first day, which is usually more a day of getting ready for the big crowds to come later. It is estimated that over 15,000 people visited the grounds and amphitheater during the day and evening. At the evening performance the big building was well filled by an appreciative audience and every number was applauded to the echo.

The following are the winners in the various events Monday night:

Single Trotters—Denver, George A. Estabrook, first; Silver Band, George A. Estabrook, second; Dude, O. W. Allen, third.

Jumpers—Dublin, Samuel Cozzens first; General, Col. William E. Hughes, second; Buster, F. J. F. Syms, third.

Walk, Trot and Canter—Prince Victor, C. E. Guy, first; Candy Jim, Charles Boettcher, second; Lady Carmen, R. A. Morrison, third.

Runabout—Flower Girl, Samuel Cozzens, first; Lady Carmen, R. A. Morrison, second; Churchill, J. M. Kuykendall, third.

The shows each night until Friday night will contain exhibits of both horses and cattle, and perhaps a few other prize animals. Friday and Saturday nights will be devoted exclusively to exhibits of the prize-winning horses of the entire show. These nights will be the special society nights of the show.

The attendance was again good Tuesday morning. The judges were busy in all departments and the ribbons are rapidly being placed.
