North Eastern Somerset Cattle
Show.

The Northeastern Somerset Agrlcultur-
al Society held their cattle show and fair
at Athens Village, Sept. 2s, 1889. There
was a large exhibit OF very fine stock In
fact larger or better exhibit Of stock
has seldom been seen In Somerset County
Among the stock exhibited, some l.
deserving Of special mention. The nice
steers OF +. +. Pollard, A, ii. Bosworth
and lothian Whipple, of Scion were the
centre of attraction for all lovers Of good
aud handsome stock while the trained
steers of Mr.. Whipple were considered
wonder. These men are certainly In the
front rank of breeders of fine stock in
the New England States, and have never
failed to take first prizes at New England
and State Fairs. Also Eastman Hath
orn's fine pair of yesrlings, girth l-2 #.
are worth seeing. C. b. Gilman OF
Bingham exhibited his full blood Devon
bull and cows, both thoroughbred and
prizes at N. +. and State fairs and are
seldom equaed in color, size and build.
Also the full blood Jersey bull of X. ii.
Boothby Is a nice animal,
Among the nice oxen exhibited were
those of Albion N. Clark of Bingham and
Jas. Chapman and Israel ID. Leavitt OF
toned. Among the horses exhibited,
james Merrill of Plttsheld showed a very
nne Harbinger, three year old Stallion,
which is good stopper and stylish colt.
Also II. ID. Patterson Of Athens showed
a fine two year old stallion. The show
of farm products was good but the show
of fancy goods was not what was ex-
pected. The ladies should come for
ward in the future and make this part
of the fair good one.
