In the Short Horn class for steers two years old, Matt. Wilson, Fergus, won first with a capital white by S;tty- ton Chief, He was entirely worthy of his place. What a tmsgniihmnt bulk he looked when he came oat for Cham- pionship honors l N o lady in the land could have her toilet more carefully attended to than had "Lord Minto." His competitors though good were ltairly beaten. They were indeed bred in the purple " their sire Guardsman ; was also the sire of St. Valentine, the gallery pet at some of the State Fairs in the United States last year. The next class produced another white for first, Harry Smith's winner of last year as a calf. Quality was pronounced, and " both a butcher’s and ieeder’s steer there was not a better, perhaps, except ing the yearling Angus. His competi- tors were very much larger and out of class " yearlings and re quire no com- ment. Steer calves were a poor class, and now that prices have improved for bulls we need not expect to see so many thoroughbred steers on exhibition. Amongst the females but little can be said except that it is a matter of con- gratulation that they are not for a fat stock show, and to chronicle those that are is perhaps doing the owner little good. I must not. however, pass Fried’s two year old, She was thick flashed and an out standing winner, with,how-‘ ever, a coarse shoulder. Herefords were i, represented by one solitary individual and the tale is soon told. He should have 'gone to Texas’ when young Amongst Angus, Walter Hall had an excellent yearling' Galloways made a better show than usual ; not that they were in Fat stock show condition--. they were not. Their curly, lustrous coats, however, captured all hearts, and they really were one of the attrac- tions of the cattle classes. I could not secure a list of awards, but partic- ularly noticed a heifer of Thos. Lloyd.) Jones, a calf of Robb. Shaw’s and or D. MeCrtitsU, In Devons Mr. Rudd _ was again to the fore, and in competi- tion with the Galloways won in most of the older classes. _ GRADE CATTLE, These cattle attract the most atten tion and are really the ones that prove what breed is best adapted to Canadian agriculture. It is to the breeders of these cattle that we must commit our reputations as progressive stock breed- ers abroad. We are there judged by the stock we put upon the market, not by the thoroughbreds we may buy sud show at our home Fairs. It is upon our commercial csttle the verdict is pronounced and the question asked, What are you doing with your thor- oughbred stock? If they are merely Playthings for the rich and the country at large is reaping no benefit from them, and the country at large is not improved from their use, then they are of little value, and this is the final test of all the rtquired beef breeds. What are they doing for the country l It does not require an extraordinary brilliant man to read the lesson that may be learned by this Show. I will put a question that cannot be answered but it may lead to thought. It all the commercial cattle that have been sold from Ontario since the last Fat Stock Show had been as well fed and had the same class of bulls for sires as had the grades on exhibition at Brantford, how much would be added to the wealth of the countr' , In the two year old steer class, J. Campbell-led off with a grade son of Indian Chief. He was a second last year. J " Leask showed two good ones both sons of Moneytuf% (do a name) In the yearling class, J. Leash was first and third, the white proving the conqueror though the roan had beaten him elsewhere, but the decision was right. We learned that Leask’s ,two were by Capt. Robson’s sweep- stake bull. Fried also showed two extra ones, all red, and I am inclined to think there is a dark horse in the lot. The Ontario Provineial Fat Stock And Dairy Show Cows and Heifers --Up to this all the winners were Bhorthorn grades. In the three year old class, Jae. Bow- man was an easy winner with an Angus-Shorthorn cow. She was large, evenly fleshed, not a sign of blubber, though past the mark of age; Under three, dished up a hot lot of heifers. J as. Leash led off with a cracker, about " correct in outline and finish " a grade could be expected to be. Fried here sent forward a capital white which was easily second and not disgraced. Yearling class again saw Leash to the front, with Campbell second. The Championship was soon settled. It Gtuly lay between J. Campbell’s grade and WNon'a thoroughbred, the former wonjudging from the butcher’s Man. dard. He had the greater proportion of high priced meat in percentage to the low priced than any of his com- petitors. Were the prizes, however,; to be awarded entirely. on thesel grounds, my opinion is Walter Cir; Angus would outdress any other, and; in Chicago would command fifty cents? per hundred more than anything in the ring' A feeder would have gone tor Wilson’s pure bred , he was thicker in ilttah and carried perhaps MO pounds. (Notes from the Official Reporl). ' Without dispute the late Show sur- passed anything of the kind heretofore attempted. No such a. show of swine was ever before nearly approached, and the sheets and wethers were also per- ticnlerly good. Other years outstand- ing winners were to be found in many of the classes, this yenr nothing had a mortgage upon the priza money, Ind never were the premiums so closely sought for.
