222 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



second, with Tom Myddleton's Victor, by Harting- 

 ton, third. 



Leonora, The Invincible. — In the cow class the 

 invincible Leonora won first honors and the cham- 

 pion prize of £50 as best Hereford female. She was 

 doubtless the best animal of any breed in the show- 

 yard. Proving not to be in "calf she was afterwards 

 exhibited at the Christmas fat stock shows at Bir- 

 mingham and London, at both of which places she 

 won all the championship and extra prizes she could 

 show for, taking all of them it was possible for 

 her to win against all breeds. During her career 

 the value of her first prizes and championships 

 amounted to £650. In fact, she was never beaten 

 except once ; that was when her companion Beatrice 

 was put before her at the Birmingham Eoyal as a 

 heifer calf. 



In the cow-and-two-offspring class Carwardine 

 won first with the same three with which he was 

 second at Bristol — Cherry, by De Cote (3060), and 

 her daughters Plum and Apple Blossom, all Car- 

 wardine-bred. The Earl of Coventry was second 

 with the Adforton cow Giantess, by Sir Roger, and 

 her two daughters, Britannia and Golden Treas- 

 ure. In bull calves Herbert Hall's Dale Tredegar, 

 by Tredegar, very rightly had first prize. His dam 

 was by King of the Dale. J. H. Arkwright with 

 Broadward, by Ivington Boy, was second. Third 

 went to Kimbolton from Stocktonbury and the re- 

 serve to Lord Kilbum, both being sons of Rodney 

 (4907).
