THE SPRING CATTLE SHOW.

At the annual spring cattle show,
which was held on Fred Bryant's lot, last
Friday, there was rather poor turnout.
The fact that the show had been post
poned possibly had something TO do with
the small number Of cattle exhibited.
Cattle are growing scarcer in this section
each year, and In Watertown especially
there are only few cattle now where
formerly there were great many. AT
last Fridays show Mortified was the
best represented, quite number of fine
cattle being on hand from there. In all
81 Jokes were present, of which four left
the ground early. Up to o'clock the
following we're present with their teams /:
Charles A. Thorp, NorthfieId, three
pair; Walter g. Gilbert, Mortified, sew
en- pair; William Gilbert, Mortified,
three pair; Joseph johnson, Mortified,
two pair; George GUERNSEY, Mortified,
one pair; G. B. Curtis, Northfieid, one
pair; A. T. Blakeslee, Watertown, one

four pair; Ell. B. Marsh, Woodbury., four
pair. The finest pair of cattle on the
ground were those of Bennett Atwood OF
woodbury., thoroughbred Devone, seven
years old and twins. They attracted
considerable attention, but were not for
sale. On the ground was the usual auc.
ton, j. D. Botelle, who entertained the
audience with his witty remarks, selling
everything, as he said, at great loss.
