THE eroCK-smoHr HORNS.
The display of stock is this year quite
unprecedented. TO have $50 or 400 en-
tries of cattle has been considered "big
thing" and has caused the managers to
congratulate themselves on great success.
but this year thore are over 700 cattle on
the grounds, and the few remaining stalls
are all engaged. OF short horns the dis
play is very large and fine. The entries
number 1Gi Of this breed alone, and more
than fill up one side of one of the long tier
of sheds. The first stall is occupied by
Baron Hubback, the famous short horn
bull, perhapj the finest in this country.
This bull is an enormous fellow of 1900
pounds weight, and of the most perfect
proportions. Alongside of his stable are
some twenty of his stock, destined to make
the blood Of their sire. it may be. even more
famous.
The Baron has excited no little attention
all day from the visitors to the grounds,
and in truth his massive ard perfect pro-
portions make him worthy of attention.
lie is of unequaled quality, with fine bone
and hard, terse muscles and flesh. In the
language of the cattle men, there is no
waste about him. Joseph f. Brown of
Providence shows number of cows, one
of which, Flora Temple, is worthy of some
notice from all interestc in mich kline.
She has mace the average of 25t quarts of
milk per day for four months, having given
in May IA quarts, in June GO, in July
SOG, and in August 1881 quarts Charles
Peckham of Providence exhibits number
of beautiful heifcrs, and Col. Motley of
Groion shows some 90 head, all of which
are fine specimens of the breed.

the Haywood Brothers of Bridgewater
enter considerable number.
ID. G. Aldrich and d. G.. Hall of Worces-
ter show herd OF Swiss cattle, which are
among the curiosties of the fair They
are great creatures, of style which seems
naturally adapted to beef-making, but
which the owners declare does not detract
from their milk-giving qualities.
Harvey Dodge of Sutton, Mass, exhibits
an excellent herd of Devons.
The entries of working oxen are I'M
usually large and some of them are unusu-
ally fine, even for New England fair. A.
W. Clough of Manchester, N. H., sends
two yokcs of siX-year olds, one weighing
419O pounds and the other 1910. Messrs.
King and Hamilton of Watertown, Conn.
each enter beautiful Jokes of oxen, which
caused general admiration to-day by their
display of docilty and intelligence.
The show of horses, while not including
many very prominent animals, is still good
one. Raymond II. Perry enters Challen-
ger and Champion, two horses sired by
Jay Gould, among number of others.
