According to freshman coach Howie Houston, the man to watch in his lineup is Chick Chandler, who goes at 167. Chandler placed high in a recent New England Open tourney; Oakleigh Thorne, at 123, is also expected to show well...
...lumberjacks and jeans, in skating skirts and golf socks, in ski pants and starched white spats, 100-odd socialites gathered last week on the rambling estate of Capitalist Oakleigh Thorne at Millbrook, N. Y. Sniffing the crisp Dutchess County air, they galumphed over the meadows, up & down hill, tripping over cornstalks, leaping heavily over brooks & briars-in pursuit of a pack of beagles who were in pursuit of a wily hare. Local farmers would never go in for such crosscountry foolishness, but if they did, they would call it a rabbit hunt. In sport parlance this mixture of old clothes...
...Chicago's Mayor Kelly to make a speech. Wilson & Co.'s Chairman Thomas Edward Wilson to entertain at dinner 1,300 healthiest members of the 4-H Club. New York's Representative James Wolcott Wadsworth Jr. to sit on the show's cattle department directorate, Dutchess County's Oakleigh Thome to see what his Eastern Aberdeen Anguses would do this year.

Eastern dairymen had pooh-poohed the idea of large-scale beef cattle raising...
...fourth day, Walter Biggar stepped to the centre of the arena to judge the champion steer. In the ring were four finalists-a Hereford, a Shorthorn, two Anguses. One of the Anguses belonged to Oakleigh Thorne. Mr. Thorne could not forget that no individual had ever won the championship twice, that his entry in the ring, Briarcliff Model, was heavier (1,217 Ib.) than was nowadays popular. Judge Biggar passed his sensitive hands over well-meated ribs, examined shoulders, circled again & again. Finally he pointed to Briarcliff Model. There was applause. By now Farmer Thorne was an upstart Eastern breeder...
