OF THE SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB 161 
the extraordinary two-year-old steer called Wabash. In 1882 
this steer won the two-year-old championship, but was unable 
to go to the top of the show. As a breeder and promoter, few 
men have had a more vital influence on their chosen breed, or 
have lived to see as secure a success as Mr. CLark has achieved 
with and for the Hereford. From the start of the Internationa] 
he has been prominent in cattle circles, both as an exhibitor and 
a director. Of recent years he has been one of the two super- 
intendents of the cattle department, paying particular attention 
to steers and his own breed, and he has succeeded in making 
the steer contest without parallel in the world.
