College. The $100 scholarship was won by N. O. Cooper, of Knierim, with 
a score of 483, while the $25 scholarship in the short course was won by 
I. C. Kinzer, of Bangor, who scored 475, the Scotch Collie pup as a fourth 
premium going to Frank Sanders, of Hartley, who made a score of 472. 
In this competition there were thirty-three entries and every man who 
took part in it made a most creditable showing. Professor McLean, who 
had charge of the contest, claimed it was the most successful that had 
ever been held, claiming as he did that never before had he seen so 
much promising material in one bunch of men. 
CATTLE. 
SHORT-HORXS. 
Of the aged Short-horn bulls shows three were prize winners at Des 
Moines in 1907, namely, Whitehall Marshall, Whitehall King and Scottish 
Champion. In neither year have the judges — Mr. C. B. Dustin, of Sum- 
mer Hill, 111., in 1907, and Capt. T. E. Robson, of London, Ontario, in 
1907 — had any inclination to lead any bull ahead of old Whitehall Mar- 
shall. Although he has been successfully fitted and shown for five suc- 
cessive seasons, yet he is starting out on this season's circuit in remark- 
ably good form — very naturally not quite the equal of what he was when 
in his prime, but, nevetheless, extremely good. Time and the annurJ grind 
of showing, however, are telling upon him and many admirers of the 
"grand old bull" are forced to regret that he is again making the rounds. 
He has everything to lose and nothing to gain in the venture. His laurels 
are won. His half brother, Whitehall King, stood next in line, which 
position is one better than he had last year when Bellows' bull. Good 
Choice, was placed above him. This bull has made remarkable progress 
since last year and unless something unexpected happens he is going to 
"make good" on the circuit this year. Scottish Champion, a Victor Baron 
bull exhibited by H. D. Parsons, was fifth in last year's ring, but fate was 
unkind and forced him down to sixth place last w^eek. Anoka Sultan, 
formerly owned by Mr. Harding, once more stood at the head of his 
class and we predict that, in his case, history will again repeat itself. 
He is a splendid son of the illustrious Whitehall Sultan. C. W. Daws' 
Nonpareil Prince proved a disappointment to Captain Robson, for he was 
unable to place him within the money,although Mr. Dustin found him good 
enough for third premium last year. In the junior yearling bull class 
Thomas Stanton's old bull, Cumberland's Last, was again heard from. 
At least, a son of his. King Cumberland by name, stood in first place. 
He is the property of H. H. Powell & Son, of Linn Grove, Iowa. This 
class of fourteen contained many bulls of exceptional merit. The judge 
found a bull for second place in Thomas Andrews' Royal Diadem, out 
of the cow Juno by Diamond Rex. Count Abbott, a much 3'ounger animal, 
shown by C. L. McClellan, stood third, and had it not been for his lack 
of fitting would have given the other two bulls a still harder battle for 
their places. Unfortunately the youngster had been kept with the herd
