SOME YORKSHIRE SHORTHORNS. 279 



the yard three times ; '" the only times that a 

 champion prize was given when she was exhibited. 

 She is a lovely roan cow, with a sweet head, 

 and such a touch as is seldom met with and is 

 remarkably clear of lumber ; though, of course, 

 when in showyard condition, she carried a lot of 

 flesh. The ' Smithfield heifer ' she was called by 

 some, and ffreat was the indio'nation of a certain 

 section of exhibitors that she should continue to 

 gain prizes for tliey boldly affirmed she would 

 never breed. It is dangerous to prophesy till 

 you know, and Lady Pamela has bred two calves 

 since she won her last prize at the Royal. 



The eldest of these. Meteor, a red bull a year 

 and a half old, is by Riby Star, and is a well 

 grown and handsome young beast, like making a 

 mark some day. He inherits his brother's 

 beautiful touch and elegance of outline, has 

 capital limbs, and is a thick-fleshed and active 

 animal with capital thighs and good to follow. 



His half-brother by Koyal Riby, is such a calf 

 as we seldom come across. He is a great length, 

 is beautifully level, he has a nice masculine head, 

 and, indeed, is more like a beast than a calf. 



*Lady Pamela won first prize and cliampion at York in 1883 ; 

 first prize for three-year-old heifers at Shrewsbury, in 1884 ; 

 first prize for cows upwards of four-years old and champion at 

 Norwich in 1886 ; and first prize and champion for cows four- 

 years -old and upwards at Newcastle in 1887. Glad Tidings was 

 second to her at Norwich and Newcastle. She was not shown at 

 Preston in 1885.
