614 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



ling at last year's Warwick Royal, was brought out 

 in better bloom than the writer hereof had regarded 

 as possible. She seemed ripe as a peach in England 

 a year ago, and she is of such a refined type that it 

 is surprising that she came out last week so fresh 

 and good in her flesh. Forward she is as sweet as 

 heart could wish. Her lovely countenance, full 

 bosom, perfectly laid shoulders, smooth well 

 rounded chine, deep ribs, and short neat legs com- 

 bine to stamp her a heifer of altogether extraordi-

 of her class. With Annabel first and the imported 

 heifer second, the Cosgrove 's excellent Wiltonie 33d 

 fit snugly into third place, and Clark's Jingle was 

 fourth. Fifth and sixth positions in the line were 

 held respectively by Gudgell & Simpson's Donna 

 Anna 7th and Makin Bros.' Lady Maud Vincent."
