CATTLE.
The cattle stalls might have contained
more animals but it is safe t. say that finer
herds of some breeds were never seen on
any fair grounds in the State.
Prominent among the cattle were two
Hostein- Fresian herds of J. L. Mccormick,
of Bel Air, which embraced animals of both
sexes and various ages. Their beauty at
tracted much attention and the admiration
was increased when the record of their won
derful performances in milk tests was made
known. Mr.. Mccormick had % of these
cattle at the fair.
Mccormick Bros also exhibited two COM
plete herds of Guernseys, the rivals of the
famed Jerseys as butter producers and said to
be superior to them rs milk-givers.
J. w. Richardson showed Devon cow.
The class of Jerseys was not as fully repre-
scented as usual, but some fine specimens
were shown. A. NJ. Fulford exhibited bull
and Mccormick Bros. had five entries of
these beautiful animals. Other exhibitors

fred A. Colburn, Joseph A. Coale and j. g.
