There was a total of seventy-two head and they were a classy lot from first to last, with many real top notchers In all classes. . The Shorthorns, as usual, were out in force, twenty-two in number. They filled the old cattle barn full. In the bull classes the aged bull, Chief's Goods, was the only one in his class, but he is splendid indi vidual with lots of scale end quality throughout. Only one two-year-old came forward also, Villager Sultan 2nd, a roan whoes smoothness and quality carried him up to the grand championship. In the calf class three sons of Handsome Lad made an in teresting class. The quality and style of Roan King gave him first honors over the white bull, Silver Dollar. Five cows came 'forward in the aged cow class. All good cows but bather thin In flesh. . They were headed by LIU, a big red by English Baron. Three two-year-olds came forward and were headed by Ladles Rose, with a two-days-old baby calf at foot. The real class of the Shorthorn show was the yearling heifers. The mossy coated roan, Bonnie Marble went to the top, while the scale and depth of flank of Farmers' Princess gave her second place over the neat er, better fleshed roan Sweet Stiver cup. The breeders confidently ex pected that the grand champion female would be picked from this Mass, but the Judge thought differ ently and gave It to the aged cow. The Jerseys were second to the Shorthorns In number, but you can't vet the Jersey men to admit that they were second to anything when K comes to quality. Only three bulls were shown, one in each of the three different classes. - The iudc-a had his work cut out for him In picking the grand champion, but finally gave it to the . two-year-old Anna's Poppy Mawes. . . Seven cows came forward In the aged row class. Every one was a nnlendld cow. In tact. It waa the hottest contested class the judge had to place In the show. First place wos finally given to Urbnn's Lady Lilac, over Chief's Lady Glow. Third place went to Golden Glow's Pearly, a fine cow carrying a splendid udder and a cow that will make a big rec ord this year. . Bessies' Pet Lilly was the only en try In the two-venr-old class, but It Is saying much for her when the Judge gave her the grand champlon- ship. Four yearlings faced the iudee. The little beauty. Chief's Golden Glow, winning the blue. A fine class of six calves were shown; first and second going to two calves belong ing to T. Brown. The Holstetns were represented by a display of slxtenn head, all ood ones. Two yearling bulls, were headed by a neat youngster belong ing to L. Snider, ' while the grand champion was a two-year-old owned by P. Lund.
