winner among the yearlings. This exceptionally 

 grand heifer, a daughter of Earl of Shadeland 30th, 

 is from a cow by Beau Eeal, and she from a daugh- 

 ter of Beau Monde, the dam thus being an inbred 

 Anxiety 4th. She is laid out on a little lengthier 

 scale than Annabel, so that she will never impress

 heifer Dorcas had to stand scaling down to fourth.

 & Simpson's Normette seventh, dough's Autumn 

 Leaf eighth, and Eedhead's Wallflower ninth four 

 out of the nine being of Mr. VanNatta's breeding." 

 Bright Duchess 15th. " The calves were as 

 pretty a show as seen on the tanfiark during the 

 week. They were about fifteen in number and so 

 evenly good that some of those that were left out 

 of the prizelist might safely be substituted for the 

 quartette of winners without falling below a 

 World's Fair standard. Messrs. Gudgell & Simp- 

 son were first with Bright Duchess 15th, by Earl of 

 Shadeland 47th good on her back and carrying her
