SOME ROUSING DEMONSTRATIONS 581 



second and Makin Bros. ' Geneve for third. Dazzle, 

 the blue ribbon heifer, is a granddaughter of Mr. 

 Parmelee's Sir Garnet, and is well grown, good 

 backed, and level-quartered. Tottie by Saracen, the 

 second-prize winner, is a remarkably thick-loined 

 low-legged heifer with a fine coat. She might be a 

 little nicer in her touch, however, and is a bit rough 

 at the tailhead. Geneve (the unbeaten calf of 1889), 

 by Duke of Hesse, a son of Caractacus, has made a 

 decidedly meaty yearling, but has a trace of un-

 Frere out of the great cow Lark and now at the

 back and full lines all around. The Iowa Hereford 

 Cattle Company's Maiden Fair 2d by Washington, a 

 smoothly covered seven-months calf, made a good 

 second, and Cosgrove's Wiltona 15th, by Wild Eyes, 

 a tidy level lassie, claimed the third. Makin Bros. ' 

 Minerva 2d, by Don Carlos from an Anxiety 4th 

 dam, a good fleshed, yellow red, was 'blanked.' " 



The male championship of the class developed an 

 interesting duel between Cheriy Boy, the first-prize 

 aged bull, on the one side and Mr. Day's blue ribbon 

 two-year-old Cameo on the other. It certainly is a 

 high tribute to old Beau Eeal to record that with
