exhibited by Mr.. Crozier of. Northport, l..
L., pleases me the most. They arc Jerseys.
and are headed by the bull Cossack, Hero
Register No. 1,159. Cossack is by Clement,
progenitor of the Long Island Jersey herd.
He is, fawn color, with black joints, and has
a beautiful head. Josephine I'd, in Herd
Register No. 1926, is actually perfection for
a Jersey cow. She is of a deep orange col
OF, and the insides of her delicate, transpar-
ent ears is also orange-tinted. Belle Hin
man is the daughter ola COW which made
her own weight in butter in one year. Jo-
sephine Beacon is now making nine pounds
of butter per week. Fanciful, a two-year-
old heifer, is nearly as lovely as Josephine I'd.
MIR. Crozier also exhibits six head of Ayr
shire cattle-one bull and four COWS Of the
Black-nosed variety and one COW of the
sheeted or r~ed-and-white family. The bull,
Duke of Charleton, bred by D. T. Curtis, is
very rich in color, long and even, much like
a S%horthorn in his lines. One, of the COWS,
Maggie Stewart, though now milking four
teen months, still gives eight quarts per day
and is to calve again in six weeks, She is
large Of her breed. Ruby, a red COW, bred
in Scotland, where she took several prizes,
is deer-like in head and legs, with a muzzle
fine as that of q race horse. Nellie Biddle, a
Sheeted Ayrshire, imported quite recently,
dropped her calf on board ship and has since
done well. She is a good specimen of her
variety, though to me not.so admirable as
are her Black-nosed cousins. TIL last of
this herd is Maggie Anderson, also bred in
Scotland, and imported by her present
owner.
In the Devon class, 0. B. King, of Con-
n%ecticut, exhibits a choice herd ofeight head
one bull, five cows and two calves. Mat
tons Lion, cherry red, excellent in color and
form.
OF the Herefords, J.. L. Miller, 0 fBeecher,
ILL.,, has, to my taste, the best on the ground.
His herd numbers thirteen head-two bulls,
on, oull calf, ten COWS and heifers. The wv
bulls, Success and Royal Briton, both i'm
ported, the latter in the dam, are half-broth-
ers. Their dam, Dolly Warden, is d most
charming animal. She is six years old, has
had four calves, and is now again in calf. Of
this herd the two th~ree-year-old heifers,

ally even in quality.
[ must now say a word or two about the
Canada part Of the Show. The arrivals
from across the border number from sixty
to sixty-fiye head and comprise among
them much that is good and valuable. Ia
ken in herds they are as follows: Three
of AyrSlires, one herd Of Attorneys, one of
Herefords, and one of black-polled Angus
cattle, which the man in charge persisted in
calling Galloways; but be they Galloways
Or Angus, there was one bull of the lot a
credit to his owner. Mr.. George Hood ex-
hibits three bulls respectively aged two
years, one year old, and q calf, also one heif-
er calf. The head of the two-year-old bull
is better than the head OF Mr.. Miller's bull,
with which he completes, Mr.. Hoods stock
being also Herefords. I failed to find any
person OF a communicative turn OF mind in
terested in the Canada herds even to dis
cover she names OF our excellent neighbors
was as difficult as to decide the uses Or
abuses OF the round towers of Ireland. This |
is deplorable, as Canada has done we'll. The
b~laek-polled bull, Major, is a superb type of
his breed, and the cows of his herd are good.
They, i'll their class, defy competition, at
least successful competition. Mr.. w. Miller
exhibits three Shorthorns. His cow, Neck
lace 7th, is a dangerous rival for Mr.. Groom's
beauties. Mr.. w. M. Telfor has on show
six shorthorns, two bulls, two COWS and two
calves. The bull, Sd Duke Of Kent, is nine
