With but a limited amount of training, but under the able leadership of Coach Prof. W., E. T-omson, the dairy livestock team accompanied the general livestock dairy production teams to Portland. The arrival at Oregon Agricultural College was a most hospitable one. Free access to all livestock was given the California teams, and many profitable hours were earnestly spent polishing the dull spots before the fatal hour. On November 5th the California team, represented by tiNat Hudson, Leon Pellisier and B. H. Thomas, answered the roll call with four 00111- peting teams. The four leading breeds of dairy cattle were judged, three Classes in each, senior yearling heifers, mature cows and bulls. The contest came to a close at 2:30 p.111.,1asting five hours.
