Reavis tne stallion Blackbird. Then came
the draft horses, Sir Tom being in the ad.
vance. Following him were the horses of all

mules. The display of roaosters and
double teams was exceedingly good.

play of blooded stock equal to that OF any
year. These were followed by the Jersey
herds of VIM. Hawkins ard A. q. Collins.

District Agricultural Association.
