There j was a large attendance of Jersey I breeders and fanciers from all parts of I the province, and the prices realised j proved conclusively that the Jersey has not lost any of hs popularity as a dairy cow. Grannie's Girl topped the market. Air. Luxton had a reserve on Grannie's Girl and a yearling bull, Grannie's Campanile Sultan (Campanile Sultan—Grannie's Girl), of lflOgns each.
