252 A HISTOBY OF HEREFORD CATTI^E! 



with Favourite (13052), bred by John Price, and 

 a son of his Eoyal winner Monarch (7858), by Lord 

 Wilton, a young bull of fine style and character and 

 plenty of size and quality, well entitled to his place 

 at first in the class. The Earl of Coventry was 

 second with "White Boy, from White Rose by Patriot, 

 a bull with much scale, a good top and straight un-

 of Lord Wilton. The second went to Allen Hughes' 

 Endale, bred by Edward Yeld of Endale, a son of 

 Hilarity from Fraulein Wilton, by Lord Wilton, a 

 deep heavy-fleshed dark-colored calf with more sub-

 good class was the Earl of Coventry's Golden Sover-

 as best Hereford in the yard. She was a daughter 

 of Rare Sovereign from Rosemary, by The Grove 3d, 

 faultless in form, yet with plenty of scale and beauti- 

 ful character and quality. She was called a model 

 Hereford. J. H, Arkwright was second with Curly
