BRITISH SHOWS AND THEIR INFLUENCE 173 



was reversed and the third prize winner at that 

 show, Adforton (1839), a bull of great substance 

 bred by William Tudge and shown by Thomas Ed- 

 wards of Wintercott, was first. He was a son of 

 The Grove (1764), Sir David's son. The second 

 prize was given to Mr. Baldwin on Battersea, the 

 first prize winner at Battersea. In bull calves Rob- 

 erts of Ivingtonbury won first with Battenhall, bred 

 by himself and sired by Sir Thomas, son of Sir 

 Benjamin. In a large class of good bulls he was 

 called "a very nice one, with plenty of hair and 

 quality, and with such thighs, for a young one, as 

 are not often seen; just the style and character a 

 Hereford ought to have." 



In the cow class Mr. John Perry of Cholstrey had 

 first prize with Beauty, by Noble Boy (1337). 

 Thomas Eea was second with Kate 2d, a good 

 daughter of Sir Benjamin, shown in a large class. 

 In three-year-old heifers William Tudge of Adfor- 

 ton was first with Lady Ashford, bred by himself, a 

 daughter of Carbonel (1525). She had not just a 

 nice head, her horns going up a little, but she was 

 a most perfect animal in all other respects. Mr. 

 Pitt was second, and the Prince Consort's heifer 

 Adela, with splendid hindquarters, was third. In 

 yearling heifers the veteran Mr. Monkhouse was 

 first with Clementine, sired by Chieftain (930), a 

 heifer of good size, substance and quality. She was 

 well supported by Mr. Roberts' 2d Duchess of Bed- 

 ford, by Sir Thomas. The third place was taken 

 by Mr. W. Perry of Cholstrey with Lady Duppa.
