and there is scarcely an inch of white in his entire herd. He has this 

 year captured ten premiums — the sweepstakes bulls, Red Thorndale, 

 first premium; sweepstakes, cows, Second Rose of Forest Home, first 

 premium; Red Thorndale and three of his calves, first premium. 

 Altogether there are seven first premiums and three second pre- 

 miums. He has also twenty head of Cotswold sheep from his flock 

 of seventy, which took premiums aggregating one hundred and fifty 

 dollars. 



Jesse D. Carr, of Salinas, shows eighteen head of shorthorns, which 

 took three first premiums and two second premiums. The Third 

 Maid of Monterey is a magnificent animal, and is fully entitled to be 

 adorned by the blue ribbon, as is also the Eighteenth Maid of Mon- 

 terey. The Nineteenth Maid of Monterey is a beautiful heifer calf. 

 Mr. Carr has now on his ranch a herd of about seventy-five thorough- 

 bred Durhams. 



Mrs. R. Blacow, of Alameda County, exhibits nineteen ewes and 

 twenty rams, all French merinos. The various pens were awarded 

 seven first premiums. 



John S. Harris, of Hollister, has one hundred head of Angora 

 goats, the finest exhibit in this line ever made at any State Fair. 

 Four of the animals were imported direct from Angora, in Asia. 

 Mr. Harris journeyed to that country, and brought these goats from 

 the interior of Asia Minor to Constantinople, a distance of seven 

 hundred miles, on horses. They were packed on, two on a horse. 

 They were brought from Constantinople to England, from there to 

 Canada, and from Canada here. The wool on one of these bucks 

 measures sixteen inches. He has in his flock about eight hundred 

 head of full bloods, and last year he received eighty cents per pound 

 for the mohair. 



P. B. Cavanaugh has also a pen of thoroughbred Angoras. 



M. Wick exhibits one pen of well-bred Angoras.
