190 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



year-olds a well made bull from Wintercott, Leo- 

 minster 3d, gained first prize. He was a son of 

 Tomboy, a Sir Thomas bull, his dam by the 

 Worcester Eoyal winner Adforton. He had all the 

 appearances of making a good bull. The others in 

 the class had not the same quality. In bull calves 

 an Adforton entry, Ostorius, a son of the Leicester 

 winner Brandon, was an easy winner. He had fair 

 scale and quality. 



The cow class was not so large in numbers, but 

 was exceptionally good. Sir Benjamin's wonderful 

 daughter, Queen of the Lilies, bred at Monaughty, 

 her dam a daughter of Borderer, bred from James 

 Rea 's best strain, was a magnificent animal of great 

 scale but absolutely level, and with capital quality 

 as well. The second prize, Lady Adforton, bred 

 by Tudge, was a remarkably good cow, a credit to 

 any breed, but here fairly beaten. Among the three- 

 year-old in-calf heifers Diadem from the Adforton 

 herd, a marvelously good heifer by Chieftain 4th 

 (Brandon's sire) and from Deborah, by Pilot 

 (2156), gained the first prize. She was not so big 

 as some in the class, but had fine quality. She had 

 stood only third at Leicester, not being so well up 

 in condition for show; the winner then, Lady 

 Leicester, was now only reserve. 



In yearling heifers the prize-winner came again 

 from Adforton, now to almost a model of what a 

 Hereford ought to be Silver Star, which had been 

 winner in the young heifer class at Leicester. 

 She was a daughter of Stanway (2790), by Pilot,
