One fact in connection with the award !:

mont Virginia breedcrs-that the first pre-
mium in three-year-od bulls, awarded tc
1 our townsman, DR.. Crenshaw. was bred by
Mr.. q. Julian Pratt; and the first premium
in the two-year- old class, awarded to Malol
A.. R, Venablc, was also for IN animal bret
and sold by Mr.. Pratt. And had ne eShib
tied his herd us heretofore no doubt IL
would have met with his usual success.
