The two Champion Devons stand out as pre-eminently good 
in a collection of very choice specimens of the breed. They are 
both descended, the cow only fourth, the bull fifth in descent, 
from "Flower" (189 Devon Herd-book), bred by Mr. Henry 
Quartly and purchased by Mr. James Davy at the West MoUand 
sale in 1840. The pedigree in Vol. X. of the Herd-book 
ends with " Young Flower," but is extended in earlier records. 
"Flower" (189), through her sire, "Hundred Guinea," 
was a granddaughter of Mr. Francis Quartly's "Curly" by 
" Forester." 
" Flower 2nd," the beautiful young cow which stands this 
year as lloyal First Prize cow. Champion of the female Devons, 
and best of all the Devons (winning the Queen's Gold Medal), 
has a curious incident in her family history. A well-informed 
correspondent relates the following circumstances. Mr. John 
Smith, who had been in Mr. James Davy's service from boy- 
hood, and was herdsman at Flitton until the dispersion of the 
herd in 1881, then entered the service of Sir William Williams. 
In Barnstaple market he recognised and purchased a heifer 
which had been sold at Flitton, with other heifers, to a Mr. 
Short, of Chittlehampton, on whose death they were resold, and 
thus Mr. Smith had the good fortune to secure for his employer 
"Flower 8th," the dam of the Windsor Gold Medal Devon. 
At Newcastle two years ago "Flower 2nd" had only the 
lleserve Number and a High Commendation. At Nottingham 
last year she took the First Prize in the Two-year-old Class. She 
is a fine illustrative specimen of the Devon type, not on the 
largest scale, but moulded nearly to perfection — stylish rather 
. than grand. Through her sire, " Eclipse," she is descended 
from Mr. James Davy's "Temptress," winner of the Gold Medal 
at Battersea. 
Lord Falmouth's Champion bull, first in Class 89, "Lord 
Wolseley," has great substance and is grand in the fore-quarter 
and over the crops, with wide and thickly-covered ribs. In 
three consecutive years he has now taken the rank of Koyal 
First Prize bull. Second and Third in his Class at Windsor were 
respectively Mr. J. C. Williams's "Marmaduke" and Mr, John
