 a record of 10,748 Ibs. of milk in one year, and 19 Ibs. 6 ozs. butter in 

 seven days ; she won first prizes at Rhode Island State Fairs of 1879 to 

 r88i ; at Woonsocket, 1879 ; and second prize at New York State Fair 

 m 1882. Sir Hugh, 2582, won first prize at New York State Fair in 

 z882, and second for bull and four of his get, at New York Dairy and 

 Cattle Show, 1887. The large engraving group from the herd of 

 Coldren & Lee shows the variety in color markings common to the 

 breed by a predominance of white, and represents a fair sample of the 

 excellent herd from which it is taken.
