Out Big String Of Stock
The first annual field day of
the Cecil County Jersey Cattle
Club, held Saturday, July %, on
the grounds of the Ebenezer
Community House, near Farm
|ington, was a great success and
brought out a fine bunch Of
cattle, sixty head being shown.
The program started at 1880
a. M, with the showing of bulls
under one year, in which class
there were six entries. The
first prize animal owned by
Wade Cameron, was Xenia's
Forward Raleigh, a very well
grown youngster of excellent
breeding, sired by Xenia's
Parie, that last year sold for
$4,000. The second and third
prizes went to bulls owned by
Ennis T. McGrady and G. G.
Harris, respectively. The next
class was for bulls Of one to two
years, and it was won by Orig
inal PEARLS Victor, exhibited
Il by Cassius Kirk. A very close
second, Pallatine Wexford
Voulleer, a snappy youngster
owned by ]. F. Wood, Jr., MEM
Der of the Cecil County Jersey
Calf Club. c. A. Beamer took
third place.
The aged bull class was not
easy to Judge on account of
the high standard of all the
entries. Anninas Darlikes
Prince, owned by Messrs. Clay
ton Mcdowell and Dinsmore,
finally carried away the blue.
while Noble Dictator's Gam
boge and Bowlina's Blonde Ok
ford got second and third, both
animals being owned by Mr..
McGrady.
The largest class contained
twelve entries and was for
heifers under one year. In
spite of it's size this class
brought forth lots of quality
and the competition was keen.
First prize went to Victoria's
Dewdrop, owned by Charles
Sims another member of the
calf club. His animal has
plenty of refinement and shows
promise Of becoming a great
COW. Second place went to Mr..
McGrady's calf, and third to
that owned by Mr.. Dinsmore.
Both of these heifers were ex-
ceedingly nice.
The fifth class was for heif-
ers one to two years old, and
the winner was one Of the pref.
tiest animals on the grounds,
and was sired by the first prize
aged bull. She was owned by
Clayton Mcdowell, and it is to
be hoped that she will appear
at some of the later shows. She
certainly deserves to- be given
the opportunity. Jop Japonica,
OF the Fox Harbor Farm, won
second, while Elkton FARMS
entry sood third.
Glass six provided for cows
from two to three years and
was well filled with young COWS
of exceptional merit. First
place went to the Island bred
heifer, Gamboger FERNS Smi-
lax, exhibited by J. F. Wood.
Jr. This animal was treat to-
the eye and was also well fitted
and shown. The second prize
heifer was the third daughter
OF Animals Duchess, owned by
Clayton Mcdowell. Third prize
went to lady Rosive Bess, a
sweet heifer but in poor condi-
ton. She was owned by Wade

In the aged cow class. the
Elkton contingent made clean
sweep, Elkton Farms taking
first and second, with a couple
OF matrons that certainly
showed production. Noble OK
