the top price of $600 for each of two bulls, Mr. Rob- 

 inson 's Bonnie Lad 11th and Mr. Brock's Discounter. 



Another Richmond in the Field. — The Prime Lads, 

 Beau Donalds and other popular favorites were still 

 very much in evidence at the shows in the autumn 

 of 1910, but tangible evidence was now presented 

 of the appearance of an important new factor in 

 western Hereford breeding operations. We refer to 

 the get of the bull Disturber, bred by Jesse Adams 

 and selected by John Letham for Mr. Brock. At 

 Kansas City in October Overton Harris won the 

 senior bull championship with the two-year-old Re- 

 peater, son of Disturber, and here was the beginning 

 of another new and highly important bloodline in 

 the western Herefords. Repeater at two years old 

 was a bull of impressive bulk and substance, great 

 rotundity of body, immense loin and heavy hind- 

 quarters. Still he was stoutly pushed upon this oc- 

 casion by Giltner's Beau Columbus, a bull of some- 

 what similar conformation and very even from end 

 to end. The aged bull class had been won by J. O. 

 Bryant, Savannah, Mo., with the good bull Curtis, 

 by Maynard, showing excellent character and par- 

 ticularly heavy quarters, besides being mellow in 

 his flesh. Prime Lad 9th was now turned down to 

 second. He had been on top for so long that he was 

 of course about due to relinquish the crown. Mr. 

 Tow of Iowa was now coming into the great public 

 competitions as a factor to be reckoned with and 

 received third here in the aged bull ring on Prin- 

 cipal 6th, one of the low-legged kind, well spread.
