388 IOWA DEPARTMENT OP" AGRICULTURE. 



Whitehall Sultan's get again held sway in the two-year-old 

 class when Avondale, a roan of much the same type as Whitehall 

 Marshall, who promises to make a stronger bid for championship honors 

 later in the season, landed first place. Iowa had the honor of furnish- 

 ing the second prize winner in Burge's Hopeful Knight, an excellent 

 type of bull which made a strong show, defeating the junior champion 

 of the Iowa State Fair last year. Both the senior and junior yearling 

 classes were good and another son of Whitehall Sultan again carried 

 off first honors, with a Choice Goods calf Gondimar, second, and Charley 

 Daw's Nonpareil Prince, a son of H. D. Parson's former show bull. 

 Nonpareil King, third. In the junior class, the Flynn Farm com- 

 pany, who have entered the show yard arena this year brought forth 

 a prime entry in Premier, by Choice Goods, and he easily headed the 

 class. He is smooth, even, uniform, and altogether one of the best 

 young bulls that has come to our notice for some time. So strong were 

 his claims, he was easily winner in the junior championship award 

 which afterward followed. The Flynn Farm also furnished the first 

 prize junior bull calf. 



The aged cow class was not particularly strong, nor for that matter 

 has it bern for several years. It is simply a good lot but nothing sen- 

 sational. The Tomson entry, Cherry Lass, received the verdict. She 

 is a I'ed cow with lots of scale and received the verdict over Anoka 

 Broadhooks, who graduates into the cow class this year from last year's 

 two-yeai"-old class, where she was winner. There were nineteen cows 

 in all in this class. 



The two-year-olds were a stronger lot than the aged cows. The three 

 first prize winners being particularly close. The good junior heifer of 

 last year, Missie of Brownsdale, has graduated into the two-year-old 

 form in fine shape and received the verdict. She had mighty strong 

 competition, however, in the Choice Goods heifer, Clara Bell, and 1?» 

 her half sister, Browndale Rose, both of which are prime heifers. The 

 latter is not as strongly fitted as her competitors but is a heifer with 

 lots of outcome and she will make the fight interesting whenever 

 they meet in future shows. It was Wisconsin against Kentucky in the 

 yearling class, but the Wisconsin heifer received the verdict. In the 

 junior yearling class, Missouri furnished the winner in Wornall's Rose 

 O'Dea, a roan yearling heifer of sterling merit, and Messrs. Wornall 

 also furnished the second prize winner in Maid Marion, a Choice Goods 

 heifer of style and quality. In the senior calf class Whitehall Sultan 

 scored honors again, the Tomson heifer. Poppy Girl, a very close second. 

 The junior class went to Plerr Bros. & Reynolds of Wisconsin, who also 

 scored third honors. 



In the championship, Whitehall Marshall was made senior champion 

 and grand champion, the junior champion winner being Flynn's Premier. 

 Missie of Browndale v/as made senior champion female and grand 

 champion over the junior champion winner. Rose O'Dea. The complete 

 list of awards which follows tells the story in part. To really ap- 

 preciate the magnitude of the show, however, . one would have, to see 

 it. It was so much better than words can describe it that it must 

 have been to be fully appreciated.
