THE SHOCK OF SHOWYARD WAR 551 



ized partnership of Sotham & Stickneys participat- 

 ing. Merrill & Fifield 's Tom Wilton, an own brother 

 to Mr. Bertram's Sir Wilfred, headed the three- 

 year-old bulls at Jackson. 



Beau Real Defeats Fowler. Beau Real was 

 first, Blenheim second and Fowler third in the 

 senior bull class at Des Moines in September, 1887. 

 Fowler should probably have been second. His 

 half-brother Ethelbert 16633, out of the Tudge-bred 

 cow Ethel, drew the blue in two-year-olds, while in 

 yearlings his own son Fowler Prince headed the 

 class. Miss Fowler by Tregrehan won by superior 

 bloom over the matronly Hebe 8th and old Melody 

 of the Early Dawn and Indianola herds. The Tre- 

 grehans won again in two-year-old heifers with 

 Violet 19441. The star yearling was Miss Beau 

 Real, whose dam was Bertha by Rudolph, and in 

 the heifer calves Early Dawn drew both first and 

 second with Miss Belle Monde 4th, also out of Ber- 

 tha, and Miss Belle Monde 5th, from a Grove 3d dam, 

 both being sired by Beau Monde. Beau Real was 

 champion bull, and Miss Fowler champion female. 



At the Nebraska show Beau Real was first and 

 champion over all breeds, and in the bull-with-get 

 class defeated the Fortunes and Sir Evelyns, shown 

 by Hawes, as well as "Harry" Yeld's Gift Wiltons. 

 With the late Senator Harris of Kansas as referee 

 Hawes had the female championship, beating Miss 

 Beau Real with Nutbrowne, a daughter of Anxiety 

 4th. This was a big good show participated in by 

 a number of local breeders, including E. E. Day,
