cd in making the thing pay, and 10 do that a general competition Is invited from all quarters, to show the best they have.
 The display of cattleon the Sd, wa told. was mol quite equal to thai of pre- yious years, and this was accounted l0I in part by the terrible drouth, which had dried up all the feed. sO that cattle, tls Il rub. average thin Sull Inc display of Short Horns and their grades was good they leading the other breeds by flr. Several very fine Ihoronghbreds were shown by Mir. Lynes of Danbpry, also Il lne herd of Drvons by Mir. Titus of Washington.
