4 'Brevity of underpinning, levelness of top, and 

 blockiness of build doubtless stood Beau President 

 well in hand when he faced his competitors in this 

 lot. The steaks that can be cut from his swelling 

 rounds would weigh out heavily over the butcher's 

 block. Onward 23d has more stretch than the ma- 

 jority of the March On 6th progeny, the same mascu- 

 line character, and rotund buttocks. Meteor is a 

 dark-colored red, very round and bullet-like, carry- 

 ing a lot of flesh in smooth form, but a trifle narrow 

 in his head. Hidrotic Alamo charmed with the beau- 

 tiful smoothness of his outlines, his neat-laid shoul- 

 ders and well covered hips uniting to present a bull 

 of much evenness. Actor 30th is a wide-topped bull 

 of good depth, carrying his bulk on hind legs that 

 are nicely modeled. Marchette is one of the egg-like 

 kind with no waste of leg, and nicely ornamented in 

 horn. Length, style, good back and nice quality are 

 present in World's Fair Winner, but he had a 

 mighty narrow margin in which to make good his 

 name.
