582 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



but two of his get on exhibition at this fair each in 

 turn was found richly enough furnished to give the 

 showy son of Fowler a hard wrestle for his honors. 

 In females there was delay in adjusting the rela- 

 tive claims of the Yeomans cow and the Day and 

 Elmendorf heifers, but the matured animal showed 

 too much spread of top for her younger adversaries 

 and received the ballot for best Hereford female. 



At Lincoln, with Mr. Gosling on the bench, Vin- 

 cent was the winner over Earl of Shadeland 30th, 

 Beau Real 3d, and Star Wilton 4th, second place 

 being assigned to the son of Beau Real. Mr. Gosling 

 had never altogether shared in the popular esti- 

 mate of the Elmendorf entry. Cameo was the only 

 two-year-old on exhibition. Makings Good Luck was 

 first in the yearlings, and Mr. Havens drew the blue 

 in the bull calf class with a son of Star Wilton 4th 

 out of a The Grove 3d mother, shown at nine 

 months and after this victory sold to Mr. Sears. 



Flora was again first in the aged cow class, and 

 Elmendorf was second with Horatia 3d. In two- 

 year-olds Mabel was chosen, being preferred upon 

 this ocasion to Lily. Mr. Havens won a prize at 

 this show for get of sire on four richly furnished 

 calves by Star Wilton 4th. 



At Topeka on the following week Vincent was 

 again preferred to Earl of Shadeland 30th. Elmen- 

 dorf had both prizes in the cow class, and Lily was 

 given the premier place among the two-year-olds, 

 although later, in the competition for a Hereford 

 association special, Horatia 3d was placed above her.
