SOME BOUSING DEUONSTBATIONS 605 



The Eastern Circuit of 1892. — ^As usual in 

 those days the ball started rolling east of the river 

 with the annual battle between the Michigan and 

 Ohio herds at Detroit. Clough, Fifield, Sotham and 

 Turner were still in the running. Alger beat Har- 

 old 2d, while Turner's Peerless Wilton 13th out- 

 ranked Clough 's Kodax. At the New York State 

 Fair George N. Bissell of Milford, N. Y., and 

 George 0. Holcomb of Troy, Pa., presented excel- 

 lent herds, the ribbons being tied by John Vander- 

 bilt, manager for Erastus Corning.

 Hooker of New London as "runner-up." L. P. 

 Sisson, a West Virginia breeder of Devons, allotted 

 the prizes. Harold 2d was sent to the front as 

 senior bull over Hooker's Grover Morton. Kodax 

 had no competition in two-year-olds and Corrector 

 scored among the yearlings. Miss Archibald A 2d 

 headed the cows; Clough 's Cocoanut, a Wilton- Anx- 

 iety combination, with handsome front and splen- 

 did loin, was best two-year-old, and the same own- 

 er's Actress was the blue ribbon yearling. 



The Clough and Sotham herds, supplemented by 

 entries of West & Duncan, Windsor, 111., made up 

 the Hereford show the following week at Indianapo- 

 lis. Harold 2d, Kodax and Miss Archibald A 2d 

 were again honored.
