Critics on both sides of the Atlantic
have nothing but the highest praise
for Hoyt's plays because there is a GER
tain originality and simplicity about
them that pleases all and olfends none
none of his satires are personal.

ers of large stock farms and the entries
they have made are the pick of their
pets. Rarely has any one breeder
brought more than one variety. The
Holstein cattle shown by W. B. Bar
ney, I. w. Chappell and Stephens and
son are attracting great deal of at
tcntion, as are also the Red Polled
variety shown by S. A. Converse, j. w.
Martin and McElvy and son. There
