toward championship honors. It can scarcely be said that the two-year- 
olds measured up to the standard of the older bulls, nor was the type quite 
so modern, after the head of the class was left. Beau Carlos had no trouble 
in claiming premier honors, as he is a splendid model, especially attrac- 
tive in the fashioning of his hind quarters. The senior yearling Prime 
Lad 38th is quite a "classy" bull. He is not the chunk that the older 
Prime Lad Bull is, inclining more to the larger pattern, but he is ad- 
mirably formed and finished and carries with him a style and presence 
that count for much in any male. Gomez Perfection carries the mold of 
the Weston stamps, blocky and well spread. Heath's Money Maker has 
no length of leg to spare, and his smoothly-turned top and general soggi- 
ness are pleasing. Among the baker's dozen of junior yearlings six were 
of exceptional merit. Castor, the junior champion of last year, has come 
on apace, on the same plan and from his "bully" head to his perfectly 
finished hind quarters he is a rare one, with much spread of carcass and 
wealth of flesh. Between him and Princeps 15th a lively scrimmage oc- 
curred, as the latter is a great show calf, modeled on exquisite lines, but 
he is on the large pattern while Castor represents the blocky sort. A 
Prime Lad and a Bonnie Brae again came together in the senior calves, 
the winner a fine specimen of the breed with ample scale and choice 
promise. The youngsters were very bonnie, nearly all six of them. The 
winner Harold is very even in make-up, and Perfector needs only a little 
more flesh. 
The talent on the outside was by no means content with the rating of 
Mignonette at the head of the cows. This egg-like yellow-red three-year- 
old is a familiar flgure. She has few "holes" in her form, but has stopped 
short of the size that a female of her age should carry. Pretty Face was 
the decided favorite and Princeps Lassie, a typical sort in fine bloom could 
well have stood next to her. Pretty Face presents one of the most satis- 
factory show yard representatives of the breed that has appeared in the 
cow class in recent years. Priscilla carries ample scale and a level top 
with broad loins. Among the twelve forward the type ranged upwarcj 
from the "nuggety" Mignonette to some of quite generous size. The two- 
year-old Hereford heifers rarely disappoint. Some beauties were grouped 
up toward the top. Miss Filler 2d and Miss Filler 7th, a magnificent pair, 
the former pushed to the very limit and yet as smooth as an egg, were 
divided by the big and hurley Margaret that may yet find favor for first 
place. Mary Gertrude is of the same description in her forwardness and 
rotundity. Fifteen senior yearlings saluted, and rare gems were among 
them. The winner Princess 2d filled well her position, praise of her parts 
extending down to the fullness of thighs. Cleo is cylindrical and smoother 
than her companion Iba, which however carries more breadth. Princess 
7th takes rank among the greatest of her sire's rich progeny, and Mis- 
souri Queen and Heath's Gem are high-class heifers, but toward the tail 
end of these 16 were a number that stood considerably below the average 
of excellence. The calves, 21 seniors and 17 juniors, maintained well the 
reputation these classes have long carried for sappy maturity, and the 
winners were satisfactory specimens.
