and the Colorado Agricultural col
lege, of Colorado. This section
was under the direction of 3, o,
Cowan, assistant secretary of the
American Short Horn Breeders
association. and was judged by
leslie Smith, for many years
superintendent of the Meadow
Lawn farm of N. P. Clarke, ST.
Cloud, MINI. Mr.. Smith also
handled the Galloways in judicial
way and his decisions were ac-
cepted in both breeds with that
fzoftCfo~ttnx, sch ~
work of an experienced breeder
and exhibitor who thoroughly I'M
derstands and intelligcntly applies
modern show-yard standards.
Mr, Garrett had a commissioner
in the east last summer selecting
show cattle for his Idaho herd, and
they were presented in beautiful
condition. Differences of opinion
arose over the rating of Whitehall
King ahead Of White Goods, the
son Of Choice Goods, which heads
the Idaho herd. Neither bull is
free from weaknesses. but we be-
lieve the better balance TO be- with
the white bull. Avondale and
Avoka Sultan were tops in their
respective classes and the growthy
son of Whitehall Sultan achieved
the championship of the show.
Bruce, the beautiful roam son of
Whitehall Marshall, headed
splendid company of senior calves
and was sold for $1,000 to Carey
Bros, who maintain one OF the
largest and best herds of Short
Horns in Colorado.
Royal Diadem. that second at
Chicago, moved into the front rank
here, an unusually fine promise
OF show bull. he COW class
1 presented a difficult choice, as
i some massive matrons were for
ward, SO big and SO good that they
could not be overlooked for the
smaller and tidier ones, and yet
not SO smooth as the others. The
rating offered grounds for diff
ferencs of opinion, and it is need
less to say that these differences
were expressed, the second prize
COW, Kirklevington Duchess of
Maple Hill, from the Idaho herd,
commanding favor for the head OF
the class. Slippers, the magnifi-
cent two-year-oId roam daughter
of Lord Chesterfield and the cham
pion OF the show, accents the re-
greet felt over the loss of her sire.
Barring an upturn of horn barring
a bit Of throatincss, she is an cx-
ample of modern-day breeding.
Mr.. Harding expresses the opinion
that she is the greatest hcifcr he
has shown against this year. The
younger classes were largely filled
and Of that splendid quality which
the shows of this breed have uni
formly presented for years. The
list gives the ratings throughout,
and also the awards in the division
