unrecognized. The first-prize heifer, while lack- 

 ing in refinement, is richly furnished all along 

 her hack from fore-roasts to loin and is besides big 

 and deep through her heart. Princess Louise and 

 Horatia 4th are not cast in so big a mold. They 

 are of a neater, better-finished type and full of flesh

 with good width, and deserved all she won, if not

 table-back should not carry a roughish head and un- 

 satisfactory rumps to the post of honor would have

 To the bloom that always attaches to a well fed and 

 finely modeled yearling is added the catchy embon-

 calf. Nothing is lacking to complete the picture 

 save a little lightness of thigh and a trace of un- 

 evenness about the loin. Generally speaking, how- 

 ever, she is a wonderfully furnished, smooth, thick- 

 fleshed heifer of much breadth and depth, and re- 

 markably developed for age. Indeed, as a speci- 

 men of early maturity she is one of the sensations
