562 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



class for five animals the get of one sire, with his 

 Bartle Frere group after a hard battle with Clark's 

 Anxieties. It will be remembered that Sir Bartle 

 Frere and Anxiety 3d were half-brothers, both be- 

 ing out of old Tiny 4467. On the following week 

 most of these cattle were seen at St. Louis, meet- 

 ing at that point entries from the herd of F. W. 

 Smith. Fowler had first prize as best senior bull, 

 and the Earls of Shadeland 22d and 30th completed 

 an unbroken string of victories. It is worth noting 

 in this connection that in the yearling class an Anx- 

 iety 4th bull, Don Carlos, of which we shall hear 

 more later on, shown by Mr. Smith, stood next to 

 the great son of "Bartle." 



Western Shows of 1888. The trans-Missis- 

 sippi fairs of 1888 did not develop the strength ex- 

 hibited elsewhere. The show at Des Moines was 

 made chiefly by George Fowler, Maple Hill, Kans., 

 the Kansas Hereford Cattle Co. of Lawrence, A. A. 

 Crane, Osco, 111., and Fielding W. Smith. Mr. 

 Smith received first in bulls on Dictator 2d; The 

 Grove 3d bull Plutarch 14410, imported by George 

 Leigh and shown by the Kansas company, had 

 second; Mr. Crane's five-year-old Sir Cherry 7295, 

 bred by Mr. T. L. Miller's son, T. E. Miller, and 

 sired by Ivington Wilton, stood third. Murdock 

 28545, by Beau Monde, was the only two-year-old 

 bull. Smith's future-great Don Carlos at twenty 

 months had to make way for Fowler's Beau Eeal 

 3d, by Beau Eeal and out of Bertha by Eudolph. 

 Another Beau Eeal baby was first in bull calves.
