236 A HISTORY OF HEREFORD CATTLE 



the next class, bulls under three years, Fisherman's 

 son. Good Boy, told what a good sire can do with a 

 good dam. Good Boy had both and well deserved 

 the first prize that was given him in his class, for 

 like his sire and dam he had great scale and sub- 

 stance. Father and son each weighed about 2,600 

 pounds, but the son was the better show buU of the 

 two. The second prize bull here was Arkwright's 

 Rose Cross, a nice level good quality bull, as also 

 was Tudge's Prince Rose. 



In two-year-old bulls, Allen Hughes' Washing- 

 ton, by Rudolph, headed the list, at that time show- 

 ing a level smooth top. He had a dip in the middle 

 of his back when seen the previous year, but this 

 had now disappeared. Albany, from Aaron Rogers' 

 herd, a son of Lord Wilton, was second, being a 

 straight good bull but not showing the substance of 

 the winner. 



Maidstone and Anxiety Arthur. — The yearling 

 bull class of twenty-one entries at Shrewsbury de- 

 veloped a stubborn contest and brought into the 

 limelight a bull destined to almost unprecedented 

 Royal honors. There were a lot of good ones, and 

 the judges had a tough fight over the first prize, 

 one going strongly for Taylor's bull Maidstone, an- 

 other going equally as strong for the Stocktonbury 

 bull Anxiety Arthur. Maidstone was a lengthy 

 straight good-looking youngster that had already 

 won at the Herefordshire and the Bath and West 

 of England. He was got by Franklin, one of Lord 

 Wilton's best sons, his dam being by Tredegar.
