and several towns show whole
strings of oxen as good as the very
best single yoke shown here, with
one exception. The oxen are grown
here but are sold young. This year
w. O.. Hawkins of Barton carried off
the palm on oxen, having pair of
perfect animals that weighed about
400. He had another pair very
handsome, but smaller; Milo Owen
had two pairs of large cattle, Sanford
May, VIM. Wiggin, c. B. Leland,
O. D. Rowell and Jesse Virgins all
good pairs Mrs. j. M. Skinner had
fancy pair of Devons that were fine.
VIM. Cameron, E. F. Hinkley and
G.. p. Fisher of Glover each had fine
pairs of young oxen, Mr.. Cameron's
probably the best fat oxen on the
ground. VIM. B. Teller had very
large pair of red steers four years
old and G. P. Fisher got a premium
on his brindle pair. We noticed
among the three years old steers
good pairs belonging to Freeman
Bean, E. E. Pierce, C. B. Leland,
G.. r. Silver and Charles Brooks.
Among the two-year-olds We mention
pair of Devons belonging to John
Thorp and those shown by Carl Lee
land. Mr.. Leland had eight pairs of
steers and oxen on the ground beside
sheep and other stock. There were
four pairs of trained calves, the best,
perhaps, belonged to A. H. Porter
the committee made special mention
of pair of twin calves owned by E.
E. Pierce.
In the Devon stock N. G.. Uf-
ford made the largest show, having
several animals among which was
very fine bull, several cows and young
animals. Mr.. Ufford's stock is all
good. G. B. Leland and FL. Collins
each had fine animals of this breed,
and A. Anderson perhaps the best
calf on the ground. In Ayershires
D. Buchanan who has great faith in
this breed showed his large bull, G..
E. Rowcll a premium calf and d. w.
Porter several young animals. The
Durham stock was well represented
by several exhibitors. Phillips Bros.
showed a two-year-old bull weighing
400. He is of the Princess stock,
and his pedigree is excellent. d.
Buchanan had a bull of the Cleve-
land stock that was a very fine spec
imen Of this breed d. w. Porter
showed several younger animals, all
good, and beautiful pair of white
twin calves. Geo. Young had a
yearling bull from Canada, import
ed stock, which weighed 100. W.
I. Virgins and Geo. W. Bridgman
several young animals. The Jerseys
predominated in numbers, DR.. R. B.
Skinner exhibited ten animals, nearly
or quite all of them registered. Mr.
Skinner has taken much pains te
keep thoroughbred animals and has
made success of his enterprise botl
in the dairy and in profitable sales
He showed his bull, recently pur
chased of VIM. Hayden of Albany
two COWS, several heifers and calves
HI. F. Pillsbury, who has recent,
bought several club and herd bool
Jerseys, had several of them on ex
hibition, though he did not show hi
COWS and calves owing to the diff
Guilty of getting them here. His ped
igree records run back to some O
the best strains of blood in the coun
try. j. E. Cook showed a good bu
and other animals; A. & E. Bemi
of Brighton, from the original Dl
French stock, some beautiful calves
o. d. Rowell, D. d. Bean, Gee
Cass, Ell. D. Bickford, Henry Coo
