Prize cow and sheep at the Bath and West of England Agricultural Show, Southampton, 1869. 'No award could have been more satisfactory than that of Messrs. Thompson and Baldwin, which placed Mr. J. D. Allen's Queen of the Lilies at the head of the Hereford cow class at Southampton, beating Mr. Tudge's Lady Adforton and two others. She is by Sir Benjamin, and one of the Monaughty herd, which was broken up four or five years since; and a capital calf at her foot did not a little to set her off, if she could be said to need it. In the Leicester sheep classes, young Mr. George Sanday, who has succeeded to his father's farm and a remnant of the great prizewinning flock at Holmpierrepoint, took both first prizes with the rams here represented. Messrs. J. and A. E. Gould and Corner were his only opponents. Everyone who studied the classes at Battersea will remember "the enamelled beauties" of Mr. Rawlence, which won in the Hampshire down gimmer class, and that eminent flockmaster did full justice to himself in his own more especial district. We give a specimen of his first-prize pen, and also of Mr. W. F. Bennett's, which was second to him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
