Franklin from "The Farmer's Advocate" seemed well acquainted with all these fellows. He accosted "Alex" who was curling the two year old heifers by asking him what kind of cattle they were and telling him that the boys wanted to get a little practice in judging and so came out here although they knew they weren't very good samples of Shorthorns. One of the poor fellows from Lin coln Co. got him self into hot water by putting Herefords down on his judging card instead of Short horns. They threatened to put salt in his tea or sugar on his meat. we went back to Guelph from Elliots and paid our hotel bills and then went out to the College for awhile and had a look around. Prof. Wad {surname?} gave us a little class on judging sheep but it was too late to get much there. We left the College about twenty minutes to six and started right for home having picked up Nixon there. We sailed right through, six of us in Neff's Ford. so we didn't bounce around much although we often came down pretty hard on the hind axle. We stopped for half an hour in Brantford and had out supper a good one at a Chink restaurant. and came on down to Simcoe. We stopped for a few minutes in Waterford for Nixon to telephone his father to meet him in Simcoe and we got in Simcoe at twenty minutes to ten. Lloyd and I went down and waited at the station for the eleven o'clock car but Mitchell, Butler and Nixon started to walk for home as Nixon was afraid his father would miss him so thought he would meet him on the road. I got home about half and hour past eleven.
