There were exhibited 71 Shorthorns, 31 pure-breds and 40 grades, by 15 prominent'exhibitors. The seven Angus exhibitors included Gudgell & Simpson, of Independence, Mo., who at the same time also owned some Herefords, which we predicted would in time convert them from their error in selecting the Black breed, this prediction being amply fulfilled at this writing. There were nine pure and 10 grade Angus. Four Devon exhibitors showed 13 pure and one grade Devon. There was also one Sussex and four Holsteins. Shorthorns were judged first. Herefards came next. There were no three- year-olds shown. In the two-year-old class the Wyoming Hereford Association took first on Eudolph, Jr. (TJ336); George Leigh, second on Slasher; Iowa Hereford Cattle Co., third on Stars and Stripes. In the yearling class, Adams Earl took first, having no competition. In the calf class Samuel Weaver took first on Christ- mas Gift; G. W. Henry, second on Rossland's Royalty. Probably no exhibitor ever entered a ring more loyal to true cattle interests or with more faith in the Hereford than Samuel Weaver (U 337), of Forsyth, 111. (11338). Mr. Weaver had attended the 1885 Show and Hereford meeting and went home determined to try his skill on a pure-bred Hereford steer. A month later an extra good calf was dropped on Christ- mas day. Mr. Weaver made the steer Christ- mas Gift of it and brought him to Chicago in 1886, a winner, as noted above. Mr. Weaver is an unass
