but some of the more noteworthy are en- 

 titled to a place here. Sir Bredwell 63685 

 and Thickset 68685 have met with the 

 most popular favor in the show ring of 

 any of Corrector's sons, and each was a 

 grand specimen of the breed. Each of 

 these won many prizes at the most 

 prominent American shows. However, in 

 1898 at the Transmississippi exposition, 

 Sir Bredwell was first prize aged bull, 

 while Thickset was the second prize 2- 

 3 r ear Hereford bull. At this same show 

 Sir Bredwell, Thickset, Benefice 78825 

 and Silence 83690 won first place as four 

 best animals, get of one bull, while Sir 

 Bredwell and Benefice won first as pro- 

 duce of one cow, they having Beatrice 

 8036 for. dam. In 1899 Sir Bredwell sold 

 at auction for $5,000 to Colonel C. C. 

 Slaughter of Texas. Thickset had a 

 rather remarkable show ring record and 

 was repeatedly made first in class and 

 champion bull at great shows. At the 

 Iowa state fair in 1898 he was champion 

 Hereford bull 'any age, and senior cham- 

 pion at the Minnesota state fair. In 1899 

 at the Illinois state fair he was second 

 'in class, but was champion over all breeds 

 at the Minnesota state fair the same sea- 

 son. In 1900 he was sold at auction for 

 $5,100 to William Humphrey of Ne- 

 braska. Thickset was a wonderfully 

 smooth bull of considerable size and very 

 superior type and was first shown as a 

 calf in 1896. Protection 58568 is another 

 famous show animal by Corrector, hav- 

 ing won many prizes of the first class in 

 the shows of 1895 and 1896. Sir Come- 

 well 68776 won prizes in 1896 at the Min- 

 nesota, Iowa and St. Louis shows, and 

 later in 1899 sold at auction for $1,600. 

 Grandee 78839 won various prizes at the 

 shows of 1898 and 1899, and sold at auc- 

 tion March 1, 1900, at $1,500. Exemplar 

 63671, shown with success at the Minne- 

 sota, Wisconsin and Illinois state fairs 

 in 1895, sold the next year at auction at 

 $500 and later at $1,550. In 1899 Check- 

 mate 93981 was successfully shown at the 

 National Hereford show and at the Iowa 

 and Minnesota state fairs. 



Of the daughters of Corrector much 

 might be said. They possessed much 

 style and carried broad backs, deep ribs 

 and represented the best type of the 

 breed. Benefice 78825 was champion over 

 all breeds at the Minnesota state fair 

 in 1899: Benita 58542, the dam of the fa- 

 mous Benison 64017, has a long string of
