224 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



Buying Prize-Winners for the States. In breed- 

 ing cows a remarkably good one, Myddleton's 

 Nanette, won first prize. Bred by the exhibitor she 

 was a daughter of Baron 4th, a dark red cow with a 

 splendid coat and skin, thick and mellow to the 

 touch. She had a wonderful weight of flesh all over, 

 with the appearance of a strong constitution. She 

 was sold to George Morgan for Mr. Culbertson of 

 Illinois. The second prize, Perfection, from Win- 

 tercott, was a neat straight cow, but not equal to 

 Nanette. She had a nice bull calf by her side. 

 Third prize was given to Taylor's Modesty, a 

 daughter of Tredegar, and a level nice breeding cow. 

 In three-year-old heifers Mr. Arkwright 's Gaylass 

 4th had to give way to one she had beaten before, 

 Thomas Fenn's Downton Rose, a heifer that had 

 improved immensely and looked here like going on 

 to do still more. She had the same year won many 

 prizes; she was also sold to Mr. Culbertson. Mr. 

 Arkwright had to stand aside with his last year's 

 winner, Antoinette, now taking second place, Platt 

 with Lady 3d, a daughter of Horace, gaining first. 

 Arkwright had the first in the next class, however, 

 with one of his Pearls Pearl 3d, by Ivington Boy. 

 Carwardine was second with a daughter of Anxiety 

 (5188) called Juliet, from Eosaline by De Cote. 

 Thomas Fenn was third with Countess of the Teme 

 by Eomulus, a granddaughter of his Lady of the 

 Teme. 



The year after the water-logged Kilburn Inter- 

 national the show went to the far north, at Carlisle.
