was very full and complete. But I must
pass on to the stock department where
spent more time, and have some notes of
interest, perhaps.
In short horns Messrs. Wolcott & Camp.
bell, New York Mills, were large exhibit
tors and took many prizes. Their young
stock was especially fine and took nearly
all the ribbons in their classes. Their
bull Royal Briton ia noble animal, of
the Boothstram, and bred by T. @. Booth
Warlaley, England. They have refused
six thousand dollars for him. Among
their younger stock, Fairy Queen is one of
the finest, and proved that she could not
be beat, at this exhibition at least.
Geo. Butts, Manlins, N. Y, carried off
both the first prizes on aged bulls and
COWS, with "Treble Gloster" and "Spring
Beauty" two noble animals. Other ex-
hibitors of short horns are: r. G. Coffin,
Collins Summit, N. Y; D. B. Haighs,
Dover Plains, N. Y; VIM. Hurst, Hurst
vile; J. w. and. Fl. Van Dresser, Cable
skill, N. Y; Benz amin Fellows, Clifton,
N. Y; Williamson Simpson, jr, New
Hudson, N. Y; Jacob J. De Forest,
johannesburg, N. Y; T. G. Mix, schohaire,
N. Y; VIM. II. Slingerland, Albany. N.
Y; and James Wadswortb, Ganesee. AL
together magnificent show.
DEvoNs.
The number of Dev0ns have been ex-
ceeded, but there is a good show compris-
ing some beautiful animals. Joseph Hill
ton, New Scotland, N. Y, takes the blue
ribbon on aged bulls and COWS, with
Prince of Wales, bred by the Queen of
England, and Edith 2nd. Mr.. Hilton
also takes the frat prize on heifers one
year old and on heifer calves; he has q
fine herd. Other prize takers and exhibit

hitited largely in this class), W. E. Ar

HEREFORDs.
Erastus Corning, j., Albany, is the
largest exhibitor in this class, and has
some fiue specimens Of this noble race of
beef makers, taking a Urge number of
blue ribbons. His only competitor being
Justus Crandall, Portlandville. who makes
an excellent show.
AYRsHIREs.
The show of these the most profitable
of mixers is large and very fine, show
ing very conclusively the great and in
creasing interest they are justly gaining
in public estimation. AS an evidence of
this there are no less than six competitors
for the sooiety's large gold medal on Ayr
shire herds, while there is but one for the
same on Short horns, two on Devons, two
on Herefords, and three on Jerseys, while
the number of single animals cAtalogued
in this clasa is 100 of Sborthorns 40, of
Devous 46, of Herefords IS, of Jerseys so,
and of Dutch cattle 5, exceeding by one
fourth any other breed, and more than
dou Bile the number of either the Short
horns or Devons, the two leading breeds
in numbers, only few years since, at
nearly all our principal shows. We have
been of the opinion for more than twenty
years that this must inevitably be their
standing whenever the profitable merits
of this breed became known.
Mr.. John L. Glib, Q1ebec, P. @, Is an
the finest proportional and most beauti-
full bull of any breed think ever saw,
