Bolivar 



437 



At the show of the Halifax and Calder Vale 

 Society, which was held at Halifax on the 29th 

 Aug., Bolivar was not only first in the yearling 

 class, but carried off also the Vice-President's 

 Cup as the best male shorthorn exhibited. 



The last appearance of Bolivar was at the 

 show of the Manchester and Liverpool So- 

 ciety, held at Southport on the ist September. 

 At Southport he had to contend, amongst 

 others in the yearling class, with Mr Lynn's 

 Grand Sultan, a son of Prizeman (24870) ; 

 Lady Pigot's Rosolio, the second prize year- 

 ing bull at Leicester ; Mr Dickinson's Buxton, 



a long symmetrical frame, exquisite quality 

 of flesh, and a rare coat of rich, mossy hair. 

 During the early part of the year, and until 

 after the Leicester show, the roan colour of 

 his coat had a peculiar dingy appearance, but 

 that has now given place to a new one of 

 the richest blooming roan hue. 



His pedigree, which we subjoin, shews 

 that he is chiefly of Booth and Mason 

 blood : — 



Bolivar, roan, calved 5th April 1867 ; bred by 

 Joseph Meadows, Thornville, Wexford ; sire, First 

 Fiddle (19749), dam (Blossom 5th) by Duke of Bed- 



" nOLIVAR," DRF.D BY MR JOS 



by loth Grand Duke, from a Lord Oxford 

 dam ; and Mr Peel's Baron Beust, by Knight 

 of Knowlmere, from a dam by Prince Im- 

 perial — all formidable rivals. Bolivar, how- 

 ever, again got the first place, and, as 

 stated by our reporter of the show, "de- 

 servedly." 



Bolivar's points are a capital style of head.
