Fowler & Van Katta took first prize with Crocus, Messrs. Earl & Stuart taking second with Belle. For heifer calves the first went to a calf by Tregrehan, bred and owned by Messrs. Fowler & Van JSTatta; the second went to Earl & Stuart for a calf by Lord Wilton. In the sweepstakes ring for best herd, the Herefords and Shorthorns competed against each other. It will be remembered that at previous year's show, the aged herds consisted of one bull and four cows, and that the judges placed the first prize on a herd of Shorthorns, while the Herefords were forced to be contented with second place. This year, the rule was, herds to consist of one bull two years old or over, one cow three years old or over, one heifer two years, one heifer one year, and one under one year old. This year the fortunes were- reversed and the first prize was placed on Fowler & Van Natta's herd of Herefords, at the head of which stood Tregrehan, and among the females were Viola, Crocus and Actress. The second place went to Mr. Wilhoit's Short- horn herd. The third prize went to Mr. Thomas Clark's Hereford herd, at the head of which stood Anxiety 3d, and the females of which were Peerless, Duchess 12th, Silver and Flossie. In the young beef herds, under two years old, the Shorthorns did not draw a prize. The first prize was awarded^ ^ Messrs. Fowler & Van Natta's young herd of Herefords; the second was awarded to Messrs. ^Earl & Stuart, who had a choice herd of young things, at the head of which stood the bull Jumbo.
