quarter and the general balance give him prominent place in any com- 

 pany of the latter day bulls. White Star charms with his front, but fails 

 somewhat by comparison with his rival in hind quarter and hind legs. 

 Scotch Avon is a strong thick rather upstanding roan. Sultan Stamp, 

 the white, differentiated the type in the two-year-olds rather strongly. 

 Count Avon, on the more "Scotchy" order, moved up the line until he 

 encountered Type and then he stopped. Such scale as Sultan Stamp 

 carries is not often seen. From his nose to his hips he is decidedly im- 

 pressive, and with his difference in type it looked like first or nowhere. 

 Count Avon has the advantage of him in hind quarters. He is certainly 

 a most taking sort, low, wide, well-fleshed and nicely finished, with full- 

 fashioned rounds and an attractive way of standing squarely on his 

 pins. King Cumberland 2d is a real blocky one, and barring a little 

 plainness at the tail head is very even. The roan Corrector certainly 

 has scale to commend him, ranking in this respect with the head of the 

 class. 



The roan senior yearling Gloster Fashion never was headed after he 

 set foot in the arena. He walked in a winner and this finely colored 

 roan, with his ample size, palpable substance and grand top seems facing 

 a career full of distinction. Silver Sultan has a lot of stretch to him 

 and he is deep, but scarcely so well rounded in rib as the one ahead of 

 him. Gay Lord carries less scale but more evenness. The junior year- 

 lings were not the strongest class in the show. The senior bull calves 

 mustered nearly a score, quite uniform in merit and decidedly useful in 

 type. Gloster Mine, the leader, is a very shapely roan, with level lines 

 and a good crest, but failing of the depth shown by Cumberland's Pride. 

 This latter is a real sappy one, heavy ended and full flanked and well 

 spread through the chine. The tidy well-spread youngster Village Cum- 

 berland, quite evenly turned, was at the top of the junior calves, followed 

 by Scotch Goods, a longer-bodied and higher-up calf, with attractive level- 

 ness. The square-ended Clipper Stamp was in the fighting. 



THE FEMALE SECTION. 



When imported Fair Start 2d was passed up to premier honors among 

 the cows, the remainder of the company did not long detain the judge. This 

 familiar roan cow shows a little evidence of show yard service, but 

 withal is fairly fresh and extremely comely, with charming feminine 

 character. Her excellence through the foreribs is rarely equaled. New 

 Year's Delight is showing a most attractive front, but wants somewhat 

 in the hind quarter. One or two real "double deckers" were in this com- 

 pany. The two-year-olds were much more impressive in their average 

 character. The roans Mary Ann of Oakland 2d and Queen Mildred car- 

 ried honors for the Illinois herd. Whatever may have been the rating 

 of these heifers heretofore, their present form made the judge's preference 

 for the Glenbrook Sultan heifer a rather self-evident proposition. She 

 is swinging an udder of remarkable size for so thick and fat a heifer. 

 Mildred preserves her blockiness and with her mate makes a strong pair. 

 Sultan's Aconite meets you most attractively and there is a depth and a
