CLOSING EVENTS OF THE CENTURY. 749 



Lady Conyers by the Royal prize bull Lord Go- 

 dolphin (36065). Notwithstanding the fact that 

 she had produced two heifers and one bull, she 

 was shown in reasonable bloom at the enor- 

 mous weight of 2,100 Ibs., carried upon short, 

 neat bone. Havering Nonpareil 2d, although 

 not laid out on so grand a scale as the mas- 

 sive Lady Isabel, was a beautiful type, present- 

 ing a rare combination of flesh and finish, 

 entering the ring at a weight of near 2,000 Ibs. 

 She had been a winner at the English Royal, 

 and on account of her beautiful quality divided 

 the admiration of American breeders with Lady 

 Isabel.* She was bred by D. Mclntosh of Hav- 

 ering Park, Essex, England, from Baron 

 Gwynne 2d 84510, running through the famous 

 Telemachus blood to the Sittyton Nonpareil 

 base; being a lineal descendant of Nonpareil 

 19th, by Matadore. Duchess of Lincoln, the 

 third member of Hope's peerless triumvirate, 

 was an extraordinary Bates-topped two-year- 

 old, bred by J. J. Sharp of Broughton, Ketter- 

 ing, England. She was a strikingly-handsome, 

 broad-ribbed, finely-conditioned roan, of com- 

 manding show-yard appearance, and repeated 

 in America her earlier victories on the other 

 side of the water. 



*At the Iowa State Fair of 1887, at Des Moines, Wm. Stocking of Illinois, 

 the awarding 1 judge, set the Nonpareil over Lady Isabel. This was a re- 

 markable Short-horn show, Mr. Luther Adams' Scotch-bred imp. Miss 

 Ramsden 9th being placed after the two Bow Park cows.
