we had this after noon up at the College. Neff told us we stood third so Neff told us with Durham County first. Butter did the best of the three, he was awarded three prizes, third & fitth in hogs and fith in sheep. I got fifth in hogs. Tige didn't get any. To-night we went down to the Fair and saw the Thoroughbreds judged there were some beauties. Very cold up there.

We judged two classes of Clydesdales this morning but did poorly on them and dropped from third place to sixth. At the wind up Durham county was first with York second. We were ahead of York last night but they came up on horses. As we hadn't seen a bit of the show we decided to stay till to-morrow morning and put in the rest of the after noon looking over the stock. We saw Douglas' white heifer calf get first prize in a class of 21 and a red calf from old Brown dale that Douglas sold to Walt and which took first at Chicago come second. Several fellows congratulated us this after noon on our judging so we didn't feel so badly. Neff was quite tickled he said as Norfolk had never come higher than tenth before. There were 18 teams competing. To-night we saw "Hearts of the Wild." Tige came home quite sick and put in a bad night. Stormy night.
