MORE ROYAL DECISIONS REVIEWED 241 



first and second in a very strong good class. Eebe, 

 by Napoleon (5476), dam by Cannon Ball (4399), 

 with her two nice daughters of Auctioneer, Eowena 

 and New Year's Gift, was first and Eoseleaf with 

 her capital son, Prince Eose, and a first-class daugh- 

 ter, Eose of Leinthall, by Auctioneer, was second. 

 Eobert Hall, with his previous winner, Lovely, this 

 time with a pair of twin bulls, Sir Julian and Sir 

 Julius, had third.* 



In two-year-old heifers Taylor's Vanity 7th, by 

 Franklin, by Lord Wilton, a remarkably level nice 

 heifer, had first prize, and A. P. Turner's Kathleen, 

 by The Grove 3d, second prize. The latter was a 

 remarkably good heifer with perhaps a trifle more 

 scale. These were two wonderfully good ones, and 

 at the autumn Newport show the decisions were re- 

 versed. Then Kathleen had a capital coat and Van- 

 ity had very little. Lord Coventry had third prize 

 with Plum Jam, by Fisherman. In yearlings Allen 

 Hughes had first with Ladybird, by Garfield 2d 

 (7648), a big good heifer. Lord Coventry was sec- 

 ond with a nice daughter of Good Boy. 



Good Boy and Rare Sovereign. Good Boy came 

 forward again in fine form and headed the aged 

 bull class in Norwich in 1886, Tudge's Prince Eose, 



*Apropos of the charge that Herefords are weak at the pail, 

 these two Leinthall cows were exceptionally good milkers. When 

 the champions were being judged in the large ring upon this 

 occasion, Mr. Mitchell, a leading Galloway breeder, called out to 

 one who stood at the opposite side of the ring: "What about the 

 Herefords for milkers, Tudge?" The latter answered back: "I 

 am first and second in the breeding cow Hereford class, and I will 

 show any man for the two best milkers in the showyard for 50 

 with my two Hereford cows." Mitchell called out, loud enough 

 for all to hear: "What do you say to that, you milking men?" 

 A good many went and looked at the two cows, but no one took 

 the wager.
