Corning & Sotham; and in looking over the names of the officers of the Society and the names of exhibitors, that they are in many instances the same; among them, Mr. H. S. Eandall, who took so prominent a position in opposition to Mr. Sotham and the Herefords. We are not disposed to charge fraud on these managers, but we have the right to show, as we have done in the Sotham-Eandall contro- versy and the Youatt-Berry History of British Cattle, that these parties were in the'interest of Shorthorns, and if Eandall, Prentice, Allen, etc., as Shorthorn men, took the control of the New York State Fair, they would, as a matter of course, give the preference to that breed of cattle. This was manifest in the Bust ox, which took the first premium as best fat ox. While they gave him the premium, they claimed him as a Shorthorn, and gave that breed the credit, whereas he undoubtedly owed what quality he had to the Hereford.

It will be remembered that these judges passed upon the merits of cattle of dif- ferent breeds, competing against each other. In 1872 John P. E
