senior yearlings Pritchard's roan Lady Susan by Dale Clarion was thickest 

 in the thighs, wide all through and very feminine. She came first. Prob- 

 ably IVlcDermott's second-prize roan. Miss Cumberland, is just a little 

 sweeter and smoother, and she is ve'ry compact and larger than the third 

 one, Nelson's roan Lady Augusta 9th, which looked small standing just 

 ahead of Upper mill's white Villager's Lavender, the largest of all and 

 very thick-fleshed but not so sweet as the others. McDermott led off the 

 eleven junior yearlings with his roan Fair Gift 2nd by Cumberland Mar- 

 shall. She has a very deep chest and well covered back and her front is 

 enticing. A heavier hindquarters is possessed by Pritchard's roan and 

 white Dale Bangle, and this one is thicker in loin than Miller's sweet 

 meaty roan Cumberland Bess 2d. 



Fifteen futurity senior calves came out and a very strong line-up resulted 

 in spite of the fact that the first three are all a bit prominent at the tail 

 head. Pritchard's Dale Clarion roan heifer Fairview Lady 2d that won first 

 is large, sweet of front and big behind. McDermott's Cumberland Marshall 

 roan Rosa Hope 21st is also big and great in the thighs and she is more 

 level of top. She is scarcely so attractive of face as the other Dale Clarion 

 calf, a light roan that came third. A dozen junior calves landed Herkel- 

 mann the winner on True Cumberland 3d's roan daughter Village Beauty 

 4th, which is remarkably meaty all over and exceedingly smooth and firm, 

 Uppermill's Village May is the dark roan daughter of the champion cow 

 and possesses her dam's great width and thick thighs, but she was crowded 

 right up by a pair of sweet roan Cumberland Marshall heifers that are 

 also genuine meat-makers. 



THE HEREFORDS. 



Herefords made the greatest show numerically of any of the beef breeds 

 and the mere mention of the names of exhibitors is assurance that the 

 display was of the very best. Eleven herds were on hand and included 

 six to twenty-six cattle each and a total of 136. The judging drew close 

 attention and general approval as done by Henry O. Moxley, Shelbyville, 

 Ky., assisted by Chas. Escher, Irwin, la., in a few classes where animals 

 were entered in which Mr. Moxley had at one time had an interest. 



The aged class brought foyr bulls together, three of which are of par- 

 ticularly impressive form. Yost's very low-set Braemore looked the win- 

 ner's part. He is very smooth and level over the back, loin and rump and 

 his full breeches and finely chiseled but masculine countenance stamp him 

 as a full package of the finest beef with the capacity to breed on. A more 

 burly bull is Enochs & Wortman's thick fat Prince Rupert, very deep- 

 chested and massive but not so smooth and firm as the winner. He in 

 turn is more level of back and loin than the big long-bodied Golden Lad 

 shown by Cassidy for third prize. What was rated as the best bull of the 

 breed on show came out at the head of the next class. This is Harris' 

 two-year-old Repeater, Jr., and he still does his famous sire distinct 

 credit. He carries his very wide deep body easily on very short legs and 

 his bulging thighs and resilient quality of evenly spread covering were 

 the admiration of all. His character of front is also up to the family 

 standard. Yost's second-prize Arranmore is a bit larger-boned, very mas- 

 culine of presence and packed full of meat. He Is more evenly covered 

 than Enochs & Wortman's big impressive Jolly Donald, the third in line. 

 Senior yearlings were not so high-class. The first one. Good Donald 3d, 

 is a thick deep-ribbed fellow of rugged appearance but he is coarse at 

 the tailhead and not so evenly fleshed as the third bull, the meaty com- 

 pact curly Hazlett entry Beau Baltimore 25th, whose excellent type and 

 bold front supported a strong claim for preference at least over the 

 second-prize bull Beau Blanchard 53d, which is lower of back and barer 

 of rib although spacious of middle. The judge's preference for a tidy 

 makeup was evident in the next class in which he chose the light-middled 

 Hazlett bull Bocaldo 11th for first place over the other ten junior year- 

 lings. He is very level of back and richly covered there with flesh of
