development. Marline Ibsen milked out better, but had not the size and 

 strength of the first cow. Grey Portia won the three-year-old event by 

 virtue of her combined size and quality. Matron Queen 2d, in next posi- 

 tion, has a grand fore udder, but lacks somewhat in barrel-girth. Hugh 

 Van Pelt, Waterloo, Iowa, who made the awards, gave preference to 

 utility points over mere prettiness. Eminent's Reminder 2d is a heifer 

 of beautiful lines and type, with a most pleasing head and horn, and a 

 good mammary development. Her right to first position among the two- 

 year-olds was contested by Ibsen's Glory Coulisse, showing excellent tem- 

 perament and nice veining. Among the senior yearlings. Majesty's Oxford 

 Vance, because of her nice head and promise of a good udder, was given 

 place over Stockwell's Golden Maiden, whose udder already shows re- 

 markable capacity and good shape, although her teat-placement might 

 be improved. In the junior class, depth and capacity of middle and large 

 size won the blue for the Eixon entry, although Majesty's Oxford Rose 

 gave her a close rub. The winner was made junior champion, while 

 senior and grand championship laurels went to Grey Portia. 



HOLSTEINS. 



Although ranking second in numbers to the Guernseys, the Holstein 

 classes were excellent. Three aged bulls were headed by the massive Oak 

 Dekol Ollie Homestead that has more size and constitution than Sir 

 Korndyke Hengerveld Dekol 36th. The blue ribbon wearer was a little 

 sluggish at the time of showing. Sir Pietertje Ormsby Mercedes 14th had 

 not the masculinity of head and neck of the two above him, but is a bull 

 of great scale and good top line. The two-yeai'-old Buffalo Forty Beets 

 has a stronger top line and greater spring of rib than Buffalo Pieter 

 Doede. Among the yearlings. Sir Korndyke Fytje was deeper-bodied, 

 squarer-rumped, and had more quality of hide than lowana Sir Ollie, but 

 the latter was superior in head and neck. Twelve senior calves made a 

 strong show, with Walcowis Johanna Champion outstanding in quality 

 and type as well as in heart-girth and top line. The first-prize junior calf, 

 Sir Korndyke Orrasby Piebe, has nice type, quality, and wonderful veining, 

 and was later made junior champion. Senior and grand championship 

 honors were awarded to Oak Dekol Ollie Homestead. 



Seven aged cows made an impressive show, with the shapely, strong- 

 topped and wonderfully-veined Lady Reka Mooie easily the best of the 

 class. She has great quality. Groveland Pauline Posch, placed second, 

 is a capital cow, but lacks in quality and top line when compared with 

 the winner. Six three-year-olds and the same number of two-year-olds 

 made good showings, with Burke Spring Brook Ormsby outstanding in 

 the latter class. She has beautiful type and quality, good mammery de- 

 velopment, and a strong top. Burke Mercedes Ormsby and Star Watson 

 4th followed in second and third positions. Queen Mercedes Ormsby won 

 the senior yearling class by virtue of her capacity of middle, although 

 her size was not as great as some of those below her. A beautiful junior 

 yearling heifer was uncovered in Una Korndyke. She attained the junior 

 championship. Twelve senior calves made a pleasing show. The senior 

 and grand championships were awarded to Lady Reka Mooie. Positions 

 vrere assigned in satisfactory manner by W. J. Gillett, Rosendale, Wis.
