The Smithfield Club Show: prize cattle and cups, 1862. 'The cups, two of them of the value of £40 each for beasts, and three of £20 each for sheep, are quite new features in the society's prize list. They were all from the establishment of Messrs. Thomas, of New Bond-street...The two tazza cups and covers, value £40 each, are of elegant form and tastefully chased; and the beasts on the top of the covers and the heads on the plinths are to be duly modelled from the winners...Mr. J. Overman carries one of the cups to Norfolk with his ox, which is three years and four months old, and a rare specimen of the cross between a Devon bull and a shorthorn cow. He girths 8ft. 10in...His colour is red, with a little white on the head. Mr. Tennant's heifer Rosa...is a roan. Like Rosette, she has returned home; but Mr. Overman's ox found a purchaser in Messrs. O. and G. Davis, of the New Cattle Market'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
