252 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



with Favourite (13052), bred by John Price, and 

 a son of his Royal winner Monarch (7858), by Lord 

 Wilton, a young bull of fine style and character and 

 plenty of size and quality, well entitled to his place 

 at first in the class. The Earl of Coventry was 

 second with White Boy, from White Eose by Patriot, 

 a bull with much scale, a good top and straight un- 

 derline. Third prize was given to Thomas Fenn's 

 Downton Wilton, a son of Viscount Wilton, a nice 

 quality bull like his sire. The yearlings and bull 

 calves, a class of thirty-five, were difficult to judge, 

 first prize eventually being given to Sir James Ran- 

 kin's Figaro, a straight useful calf by Cicero, son 

 of Lord Wilton. The second went to Allen Hughes' 

 Endale, bred by Edward Yeld of Endale, a son of 

 Hilarity from Fraulein Wilton, by Lord Wilton, a 

 deep heavy-fleshed dark-colored calf with more sub- 

 stance than the winner. The third in this very large 

 good class was the Earl of Coventry's Golden Sover- 

 eign, from Golden Dream, a daughter of the treble 

 Royal winner Golden Treasure. 



In a class of nineteen cows and heifers in calf or 

 in milk, the winner was a marvelously good one.

 only first in her class but the champion Hereford 

 female and the winner of the Queen's gold medal 

 as best Hereford in the yard. She was a daughter 

 of Rare Sovereign from Rosemary, by The Grove 3d, 

 faultless in form, yet with plenty of scale and beauti- 

 ful character and quality. She was called a model 

 Hereford. J. H. Arkwright was second with Curly
