}. l.. Tomey, field secretary of
the American Shorthorn Breeders
Association, was the sole Judge, and

the presence of the bystanders. and
lew, If any, questioned the correct
ness of his judgment.
The cattle we're shown in classes
with from one to half dozen or
more in the class, the second prize
being awarded when but one of a
