Elaine has enjoyed the competitions. (Perhaps she can exercise her woman's prerogative and lie about her age!) "You learn a lot, meet a lot of kids, get a little more self-confidence, knowingyou can show a calf like that," she said.

Dennis Martin, Associate Agricultural Representative iE -grand champion female, the grand champion steer and the champion pen of five steers. This year for the first time since the '50s Coates did not show any of his own Herefords at the Winter Fair. Instead, he worked in the cattle barn looking after tie -outs and clipping chutes. "I felt lost," he said. Recalling his many years as an exhibitor, he said it is very expensive to show cattle at the Royal. Exhibitor's fees, tran- sportation of animals and feed, exhibitor's room and board and other expenses such as treating everyone you know in the cattle barn after a win take a healthy chunk out of a wallet. "I never made anything," Coates said. "The achievements and to have a grand champion - that's your Pay." However, there was a Coates' Hereford at the Royal. Coates' grandson Tom, the fifth generation to live on the original Coates farm, had the reserve champion Hereford in his class in the Queen's Guineas. As for Whitney Coates, he won't say whether he will attend the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair next year as a worker or an exhibitor. He made only one promise. "I'll be there. won't say which. As long as I live and am able to go, I'll be at the Royal." STORAGE FOR LEASE — NEW BUILDING — 24 FT. DOOR — 15 FT.
