for fifteen hundred guests, and a sale canvas set up to accom- 

 modate two thousand buyers, the crowds so overwhelmed the 

 vicinity that the scene has never been paralleled in agricultural 

 history. Mr. Torr's eighty-five head of Aylesby production 

 brought a total of over $243,000, the cattle going to Scotland, 

 Ireland and New Zealand. Many of the best were taken to 

 Warlaby to rejuvenate and refresh the Booth stocks, overdone 

 by years of showyard fitting.
