The Jerseys.
/ The showing of Jerseys is not
so large as in some years but E. A.
Darling of East Burke has five head
of very pretty dairy cattle.
John j. Lenton of st. Johnsbury
also has some fine animals of this
breed on exhibition, and Herbert M.
Tucker of Canton, Me-, has IL head
that have been winning prizes at the
Maine shows.
As usual there is a great display
of oxen. Ed. Fulford of Barnet
shows two pairs of two year old
steers and two yoke of oxen. One
pair of oxen weigh 1000 and are
probably the heaviest cattle on the
grounds.
| w. A. Ricker's string of oxen
have long been a feature of the
cattle show and this year is as good
as ever. He has Il yoke of oxen,
mostly of the short horn and Here
ford breeds and they are the best
he could find in the large field from
which he draws his supply of live
stock it is safe to say that an
other string of oxen equal to these
cannot be found in the whole state
of Vermont.

H, shows eight head of fine Devon
cattle.
The Horses.
The exhibits in the horse depart
ment this year, while possibly not
quite as large as some years, is the
best in point of quality ever seen at
the Caledonia County Fair. This IS
especially true in the Morgan class
es, the showing in thoroughbreds
being notable. E. H. Herman OF
Lyndonville who has kept line on
this part of Caledonia's big show for
several years remarked to a repre-
sentative of this paper that the
quality of horses exhibited from year
to year shows a marked improvement
which speaks we'll for the future Of
one of Vermont's growing indus
tries. Already 1877 Morgan horses
have been entered for exhibition at
the state fair.
The SpeedweIl Horses.
The handsome exhibition from the
famous Speedwell Farms of Lyndon
Vile is attracting the attention of
all lovers of high bred horses. The
same string that recently took so
many first premiums at Rutland
being here in charge of Theodore
Duncan. The famous Percheron stall
lion, Hyago, that took first premium
in his class at Rutland and never
was beaten on either side of the
water, is here, also Hecharp, four
year old Percheron mare, weight
100 pounds, Elegant, French
Coach Stallion, who won first in the
high steppers' class and the French
Coach class in Rutland, Another
prize winner and a handsome indi-
vidual is Prince Dare, who never was
beaten in saddle or harness. His
sire is Chester Dare, a genuine type
of the Morgan horse of which there
should be more in Vermont. This
showing also includes a list Of 16
head of WEIGH ponies, headed by
Tony Blackbird, who has an I'M
broken list of first premiums to his
credit. These horses will all be seen
on the grounds today.
