612 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



Anxiety-Peerless Again. "In bull calves Mr. 

 Fluck again scored with Monitor F., the last fruit 

 of the loins of old Anxiety 3d, and as his dam was 

 a Peerless Wilton cow this youngster represents a 

 doubling up of the blood of Clark's celebrated sire 

 of prize stock. He is a good fleshy deep-ribbed calf, 

 with wide head, well covered shoulders, and plenty 

 of substance. Mr. Cosgrove was a strong second, 

 however, with the Wild Eyes calf Minnesota 2d, a 

 beautiful little bull with almost perfect top and 

 bottom lines, strong in his flanks and quarters and 

 excelling the first-prize calf in the twist. Mr. 

 Clough was third with De Forrest, a very sweet De- 

 cember calf by Kodax of Kockland, showing per- 

 haps the most perfect head in the ring, but too young 

 to go further forward in the winning. The same 

 herd also supplied the fourth-prize winner, Col. 

 Davis. Fleming was fifth with Barman and Elmen- 

 dorf next with St. Tristram." 



Miss Beau Real 3d. "It was a great lot of 

 eighteen cows that were subject to inspection and in 

 some unaccountable manner the judge made his first 

 leet without including one of the best Hereford fe- 

 males in the yard, namely, Lady Tushingham 3d, 

 property of H. D. Smith of Compton, Quebec, Can- 

 ada. Before making his final ratings, however, he 

 discovered that he had omitted that great three- 

 year-old and finally sent her into the prizelist, al- 

 though many would have ordered her further for- 

 ward than fourth place, the position ultimately as- 

 signed to her. Mr. VanNatta's wide-ribbed, com- 

 pact, short-legged Miss Beau Eeal 3d had the blue 

 ticket. In her foreribs and loins she is certainly an 

 altogether remarkable cow. She is full of substance 

 and quality, although soft in her handling and not 

 standing well on her hind legs. A fair idea of her 

 conformation can be gained from Mr. Morris ' sketch
