BIG DISPLAY OF CATTLE.
Over 200 Head on the Grounds for First Day-5is, Fat, Young and Old Out for Prizes.

The middle day Tuesday. is, of course, the big cattle day, when tho sheds will be more than filled with high grade animals of many breeds, but already on Monday there was over 200 head on the grounds, some having been there since Saturday night and others having arrived Sunday and early in the day Monday.
 Right next to the gate and to the left is the town team from North Stonington, 12 yoke of oxen belonging to R. B. Wheeler, most of them the whiteheaded Herefords and making a fine showing. Among these handsome animals, who have been on the grounds since Saturday night. are a pair of 3 at 5000 hounds, year olds at 3,600 pounds, and also an immense pair of g year old Durhams which tip the beam at 4,S00.
 Next in the stalls are the two Led yard town teams, 25 yoke in all, owned by Clark Maynard. They arrived in sleek condition Monday morning and include a couple of fat cattle beside the working cattle, the four big fel- weighing about $500 to the pair. They are 2 year olds. MT. Maynard also shows one private Devon team that de- lights the eye of any knowing cattle man.
 At the corner of the fence is the display of John Manwaring, who has some handsome Ayrshire stock, about Is in number and all young. among which the two prize packages are his year old bull Hercules of the Plain. and yearling, Ajax of the Plain. He is to add dozen more iAyrshires to- day. In MT. Manwaring's herd are three fat cattle that were declared to be the fattest things on the grounds, a bulging pair of 6 year old red De- vons weighing S,s9o. and an 1900 pound Hereford OK that is a wonder in the way the weight is laid on.
 A. F. Read of Lisbon is the Jersey man of the fair. filling the sheds al- lotted to him with a herd of 30 of these sterling milk producers. Con- spicuous in his exhibit is a pen of four calves. from 2 1-2 to months old. and all as nearly alike as two peas in a pod. MT. Reads grandson. Gus sic Campbell, has two of the calves finely broken to the yoke and drives them around the grounds to a small wagon. In the Jersey herd are also a handsome pair of balls as pretty as a picture with their black shading, and two cute little twin calves.

 c. H. Morgan of Salem has an at- tractive herd of 19 Deyons that com mand admiration. MT. Morgan never fails to be an exhibitor at the fair, but five weeks ago it looked as if he might never attend another fair as he was badly torn by the stocky Devon bull that heads his herd, Duke Corn well II. a four year old This was not through viciousness, Mir. Morgan de- clares however, as he pulled the ami nal up rather shortly as he was lead ing him and the bull tossed him, rip ping two long gashes in his thigh. but did not follow up with any further at tack. He also has handsome yearling bull. Buster. and a pen Of four calves that are hard to tell apart. Among his milkers is a Devon that Is good for 20 quarts and he has nine nice thoFough4 bred cows and heifers.
