thought so highly of him. This bull was afterwards 

 the invincible Lord Wilton. This farm bailiff was 

 anxious to sell him, and asked Tom Carwardine 

 what he would take to exchange a yearling bull for 

 his. Mr. Carwardine asked, "What will you give 

 me to do so?" The bailiff replied, "Five pounds. " 

 Carwardine then said, ' l You shall have him. ' ' The 

 master of Stocktonbury afterwards said, in tell-

 him for the 5. I just stood him a bottle of cham-

 form, looking wonderfully well, and won first prize 

 in a small but good class, Tom Myddleton's son of 

 The Grove 3d, Hartington (5358), being given sec- 

 ond prize. He was a very straight good young bull, 

 only wanting a little more condition. He had nice 

 Hereford style and character. The third place was 

 well filled by Thomas' Goldfinder, which had been 

 put before Anxiety a month before at the Exeter 

 Bath and West of England. In yearling bulls J. H. 

 Arkwright's Bristol winner, Conjuror, kept his 

 place, winning first prize here and looking well. 

 In bull calves Coomassie from Wintercott won first, 

 and Thomas Fenn's son of Grateful, Downton Boy,

 wardine for the purchase of Anxiety he said: "Now, Master, sell 

 me this young bull and go and buy you a good bull." 



"Which is that?" queried Stocktonbury. "Why, Lord Wilton," 

 replied Morgan. "An* he did it," George used to add.
