den station. Owing to the remarkably
bad season for crops the Association
voted not to hold fair this year; al
though, notwithstanding the cold and
wet season there we're some very good
fruit and garden produce put on exhibit
ton.
The day was exceptionally pleasant
with occasionally refreshing blast of
north wind, People began to gather at
an early hour and continued to come
until there was a vast crowd, moving
hither and thither, both rich and poor,
beggars and peddlers, old and young,
all reporting at the end of the day a
good time and wishing the Association
prosperity. 1t was estimated that the
crowd was as large as ever was seen at
any cattle show of it's kind.
The work of the draft horses was ex.
cellent in both classes, Bean defeating
Davis in the heavy weight and Curtis
defeating Dunbar and Spaulding in >the
light weight class The show of cattle
was exceedingly fine, there were about
eighty head put on exhibition and they
were for the most part of a superior
quality, principally Shorthorns and Here
fords with few Jerseys.

bred Herefords and some choice Jersey
cows
Grant Witham showed twelve head of
neat Hereford stock. His herd was
bred by a thoroughbred bull two
years old, which is perfect animal in
every way. Mr.. Williams twin cows
drew attention and his matched steer
calves made an excellent show,
Harlon Boyington also showed some
good grade Hereford steers.
Frank Atwood exhibited some very
good steers and one steer calf, four
months old, attracted much attention.
