The  Liverpool  Show , 1910. 
but  the  remainder  were  also  useful  animals.  The  winner 
in  Class  107  was  a very  neatly  made  young  heifer,  and  had  no 
difficulty  at  all  in  winning.  The  second  and  third  prize  heifers 
in  this  class  were  good  specimens  of  the  breed. 
Herefords. — The  Judges  report  that  there  was  an  excellent 
collection  of  this  breed  of  more  than  average  merit.  The 
outstanding  feature  was  the  old  bull  class,  either  of  the  three 
leading  bulls  being  worthy  of  a first  prize.  It  was  a close 
fight  for  first  place.  The  massive  frame  and  extraordinary 
hind  quarters  of  Sailor  Prince  eventually  won  him  the 
premier  position,  and  afterwards  the  Male  Championship. 
The  class  for  two-year-old  bulls  contained  several  useful 
animals,  the  winner  being  a well  grown  level  bull.  There 
was  a good  class  of  bulls  calved  in  January  or  February,  1909, 
the  first  was  symmetrical,  the  second  of  size  and  substance. 
There  were  few  entries  in  the  class  for  bulls  calved  on  or  after 
March,  1909.  The  cows  were  useful  breeding  animals,  full  of 
character  and  showing  good  milk  vessels.  There  were  only 
two  three-year-old  heifers.  The  first  being  a typical  Hereford 
with  well-sprung  ribs  and  great  substance,  unfortunately 
showing  signs  of  showyard  training,  as  also  did  the  other 
entry.  In  the  two-year-old  heifer  class  it  was  a close  fight 
between  the  first  and  second.  The  first  of  great  size  and 
level  top,  the  second  stylish  but  somewhat  uneven  flesh. 
There  was  a good  class  of  yearling  heifers,  the  winner  being 
an  attractive  animal,  well  grown,  smart,  and  full  of  character. 
The  Male  Championship  was  awarded  to  Sailor  Prince  as 
stated  above,  Bob  Boy,  second  in  the  same  class,  obtaining 
the  Reserve  card.  The  Female  Championship  was  awarded  to 
Ladybird  2nd,  first  in  the  two-year-old  class,  and  the  Reserve 
to  Shelsley  Primula,  first  prize  yearling  heifer. 
Devons. — Being  far  from  home  the  Devons  came  out  in 
small  numbers,  but  all  the  same  there  were  many  animals  of 
exceptional  merit,  the  best  classes  being  those  for  yearling 
bulls,  cows  and  two-year-old  heifers,  the  first  prize  in  this 
latter  class  going  to  a beautiful  heifer  of  good  type,  which 
afterwards  won  the  Female  Championship.  The  class  for 
dairy  cows  brought  out  four  animals,  all  combining  good  type 
with  high  milking  qualities,  and  well  illustrating  the  all-round 
capabilities  of  the  breed. 
South  Devons. — Considering  the  long  distance  from  home, 
South  Devons  were  well  represented,  there  being  some  very 
fine  specimens  of  the  breed  in  each  class.  The  winning  old 
bull  and  cow  for  live  weight  would  be  among  the  heaviest 
beasts  in  the  Showyard.  Young  bulls  were  good,  and  heifers 
a very  strong  class.  The  exhibitors  deserve  great  credit  for 
sending  their  cattle  so  far.
