WINS CHAMPIONSHIP

IF this heifer were given a little

account of herself at the National

ed by Robert Connell, of Newark.
The heifer is nine months old and
was secured last May at the time the

although the heifer exhibited by Char
lotte Dayett has held the nonors up
to date yet this year Charlotte ex-
