old Harold 2d Mr. Sotham has something which ap- 

 proximates his ideal of a 'white face' bull. He has 

 a beautiful head and horn, refined and yet mascu- 

 line, he is much neater at the throat than the gen- 

 erality of bulls of the breed. He has a well ribbed 

 back which is deeply fleshed, and his quarters are of 

 the improved sort. He was the only entry of his 

 age. Yearlings were headed by the same exhibitor's 

 Harilton, by Harold out of Gaybird, a daughter of 

 the famous old Gaylass. He is a little shorter in the 

 rib than Mr. Clough's Kodax, in fact there is a lit- 

 tle less of him, but he has the advantage of the 

 Bockland bull in quality and especially in the char- 

 acter of the his head and horn. Kodax is a bull of 

 depth and substance, with fine loin and level quar- 

 ters. He had second honors in this ring. 



"Corrector, the latest calf from old Coral, drop- 

 ped by the service of Harold, carried the winning 

 ribbon among the calves for Mr. Sotham, and was 

 followed by Mr. Clough's Florida, by Peerless of 

 Bockland. Corrector is a very neat, smooth, evenly 

 fleshed calf, well finished about his head and neck 

 and holding a well sprung rib and good loin. 



"Miss Archibald A is a good cow not to show 

 against. Probably this negative putting of the case 

 will obviate the necessity of a detailed description. 

 It is enough to say that she is one of the great 

 young cows of the breed. She is a 'big little one' of 

 the stamp which every feeder knows is the most 

 profitable to handle and is full of flesh of prime 

 quality disposed with rare smoothness. She easily 

 stepped to the front in this competition and Mr. 

 Clough's Millie of Bockland, by Bomeo, a cow with 

 beautiful head, grand loin and table-back, stood sec- 

 ond. There were in this ring Mr. Sotham 's Lemon 

 3d, Mr. Clough's Jessie, Mr. Field's Ida Wilton,
