It always gives us pleasure t.. hear of the success, at home or abroad, cf any of our residents. Mr. Richard Hawley, (who, as well as being a prominerd figure in political and commercial circles in Detroit, is also "a .'oderich matt," and is staking a tame for himself amongst Canadian breeders of .short -horn stock), had the pluck to take his now famous bull " Beaconsfield" to the Michigan State Fair, held at Detroit last month, and comes off with flying colors. taking first prize in this class. The Michigan papers are loud in . their praises of the white monster, and we' make a few ex- tracts from their columns on the subject. The Columbus News says: -On Wed- nesday morning at the fair grounder Mr. Hawley's short horn bull. Beaconsfield, was removed from his stall to a grassy knoll for inspection by Secretary Sher- idan and party. The Secretary said "He is as good an ever I have seen," thus evincing his practical sagacity. for the animal is truly a marvel of symmetry, fine points and early development. The Times, of the same city, remarks: ' This morning we received a spacial invi- tation from Hon. Richard Hawley, of Detroit, Michigan, when on the ground to call and examine his white short -horn bull "Beaconsfield.- We did so, and to say that a finer animal, in every re- spect, we have never laid eyes on, is .but ' drawing it mild. The bull is now three years and four nwnths old, pure white or cream colored, symmetrical in propor- tion, and developed to an astonishing degree. Our breeders and all others - interested in fine blooded stock, now while they have the time should nbt fail 1 , call and see this mammoth specimen of the bovine.

Beaconsfield received the first prize w his class and elicited universal admiration front the numerous callers at his stall, 265, south end of the fair ground. Yesterday afternoon the Hon. David Christie, the president of the American short -horn mss ociation, looked him over in company with the Hon. Charles T. Gorham and. the general superintendent of.the fair. Mr. Chris- tie greatly admired the bull, commented 'nn his tine points, pronouncing him ele- gant. and concluded by expressing the wish that he might be at the provincial fair which hegitu at Iivamilton next week bit. trhani pointed out his wonderful display of milk points accord ing to the escutcheon theory Taking the animal all in all, Mr. Hawley has retain for his cherished «eviction that his supennr is among the developments of tet "zn,wi 6101e crowing.
