The Warwick Meeting. 
Mr. Thomas Fenn and Mr. Frederick Platt. Class 53, for Hereford 
heifers calved in 1889, was topped by the Earl of Coventry’s Golden 
Fleece, Mr. Fenn taking the other prizes with Bownton Hermia 
and Fine Lady. Class 54, for heifers calved in 1890, furnished 
the female Hereford Champion in Mr. Eichard Green’s Perilla. 
Colonel Bridgford’s Sibyl was second, and Mr. N. F. Moore’s 
Lady Rufus was third. Class 55, for yearling heifers, contained 
the largest entry, “ and many of the animals were of superior 
merit.” Mr. Ealph Palmer’s Whiskey took the first prize, and 
Mr. John Cave’s New Year’s Gift was second. 
Whilst Herefordshire contributed by far the largest number 
of the exhibits, entries of Hereford cattle were also made from 
the counties of Berks, Brecknock, Carmarthen, Essex, Gloucester, 
Monmouth, Notts, Salop, and Worcester. Of the 19 prizes 
awarded in the seven Hereford classes, ten went to Herefordshire, 
three to Worcestershire, three to Salop, and one each to Essex, 
Monmouth, and Notts. Both the Champion awards were won 
by Herefordshire herds. 
Devons. — Of the West Country breed of cattle there were 22 
entries, as against 20 at Doncaster and 52 at Plymouth. The 
awards were more widely distributed than is sometimes the 
case, the twelve prizes being divided amongst seven successful 
exhibitors, and going seven of them to Devon, two to Cornwall, 
two to Somerset, and one to Warwickshire. 
Class 56, for aged bulls, was of uniformly high merit. The 
first prize was won by Sir William Williams with Pretty 
Middling, a bull “ especially level, and showing high-class 
breeding, but not having quite the masculine appearance 
desirable in a sire.” Mr. John Howse’s second prize Lord 
Stamborough “ was a smart level bull not too good to follow.” 
Mr. W. Lethbridge’s third prize Bravo Tempter 2nd “ was well 
fleshed, but somewhat hard to touch.” Class 57, two-year-old 
bulls, was rather variable in type. The premier award went to 
Mr. John F. E. Morris for Country Gentleman, “ a bull of great 
size, with good quality, and bold commanding carriage.” Mr. 
J. C. Williams was second with Boncaster. Class 58, yearling 
bulls, was occupied by four useful youngsters, at the head of 
which was placed Mr. F. J. Coleridge Boles’s Bragoman, “ a 
very smart level young bull with beautiful flesh evenly laid on, 
but with somewhat objectionable horns.” Mr. J. C. Williams 
was again second. 
Class 59, for cows, had but two occupants, of which the 
Judges selected Fiction2nd, “ a well-fleshed level heifer,” shown 
by Sir William Williams. Class 60, two-year-old heifers, fur- 
nished nothing extraordinary. Mr. Howse was first with Prolific
