This is table of figures worth preserving for future
refeIerce. TIE measurements are not given in one
case in a hundred but should be always.
In TIE three year old ring, public expectation was
sgan disappointed. Every thought that the con-
test lay between Albion and Fordham Duke, but the
blue ribbon given to Ahol by Perfection and the
red to SasGin, a red bnll by Robinson Crusoe 1t ia
not well to go behind the award of judges, except
when the judges judge uDjustly. Nov 1t must have
been evident every stock man that there were Two
three bulls in toe ring better than tue victor, and
tlat If the choice bad lain between the two prize AMI
nall, the ribbons should have been exchanged. The
second prize is fine raDgy ANIMAL with good spring
Of rib, good twist, and crops better filled than AL
bion's, but not good in the Hank FOrdham Duke,
by Duke of Gloster is very superior animal and his
most noticeable fault is that he stands too cose in
front Certainly he is better worthy the prize than
Atbol but there many little nicetes that go 70
make up award that rules for Its bestoHaI cannot
be definitely fixed. But, if stock breeders would in
<1eae their chances let them stuff generously, AMI
put their trust in Providence. But don't forget the
StutiiDg.
The Show of Morgan horses is very fine, especially
Of the Black Hawk Morgsns and / am told by old
