was unusually good and the exhibit of
vegetables was very creditable.

heifer and calf from the herd of G.. p.
Burnett of River Falls. They were
fine animals and attracted much atten.
ton. Mr.. Burnett also had on exhibit
ton a three-year old Norman mare and
a fine looking yearling colt. A seven
months old calf, owned by John
Beardsley, of Trimbelle, was noticeable
for its size. The display of potted
plants was large and varied. The ex.
hibits by Mrs. Fox and Mr.. James
