THE CREST OP ANOTHER WAVE 833 



The cows were headed by VanNatta's Columbine 

 after a hard battle against such marvels as Dolly 

 5th, Benison, Dolly 2d, Everest, Mischievous and 

 Lady Charming. In heifers Gudgell & Simpson 

 turned out a most extraordinary lot, in all of which 

 the Anxiety blood was double-distilled. Such speci- 

 mens as Blanche 13th, the two-year-old winner, and 

 Modesty, a senior yearling winner, both by Beau

 3d by Lamplighter, and above all such a wonder as 

 the junior yearling winner Mischief Maker, by Mil- 

 itant out of Mischievous, and Cleopatra by same 

 sire, have never been surpassed in one year by any 

 one establishment. When to these are added the 

 heifer calves Honora 2d, Miss Caprice, Donna Ada, 

 Bright Duchess 32d, Silver Lining 5th and Gipsy 

 Lady, all prize-takers in this phenomenal exhibition,

 concentration of Anxiety blood by this firm. Mis- 

 chievous and Mischief Maker were declared best 

 cow-and-calf in the show. The special for best cow- 

 and-two-calves was won by the same pair with Miss 

 Caprice added. The special for best pair of year- 

 ling bulls fell to the same herd on Patrolman and 

 Donald Dhu, and the ribbon for best pair of year- 

 ling heifers went to Mischief Maker and Modesty.
