followed him with Oxford Mazurka, 8750, which he showed 
continuously for five years, only failing twice to take first 
money. In later shows Oxford Mazurka defeated the bulls that 
beat him on these two occasions, but owing to an injury he had 
ultimately to be killed. He dressed a carcass of 1870 pounds. 
In 1869 he and his brother Wittiam, (116) imported the 
renowned show cow Ruberta which was sold to Hon. M. H.
