The Norwich Shoiv, 1911. 219 



was the best of the female section, the winner being a beaiitiful 

 level-fleshed animal. 



Herefords. — The exhibits at Norwich were both numerous 

 and good. Ont of the four old bulls shown, three were well 

 worthy of a first prize, that is to say they were quite up to the 

 first prize standard. In a remarkable class of thirteen two-year- 

 olds, Lord Coventry's DoUijmoiint was first, and this animal was 

 also champion. He is a very level massive bull with grand 

 hind quarters, and as a yearling he was first in his class all 

 round. The second prize bull was a typical Hereford, with 

 good markings, and altogether a gi-and young sire. The third, 

 a son of the second prize old l)ull, is made on different lines, full 

 of quality, but a bit small. Then came a number of big, useful 

 bulls, many of them of more thaii ordinary merit. The year- 

 lings were even more numerous, and were divided into two 

 classes. The senior division contained twenty exhibits. Mr. 

 Tudge won easily, as he did at the Royal Counties and at the 

 Bath and West Shows, with Cameroti, none too big, but very 

 even and well proportioned, with good quality. The second 

 prize winner was of a different type, and requires time to 

 develop. The third and fourth (from the same breeder) 

 were both good, and after these were many that will prob- 

 ably gi-ow into valuable sires. The junior yearlings were 

 not well represented. The first prize went to Mrs. Medlicott 

 for Bodenham Leonm^do, but with the exception of the 

 first three oi- four animals there was nothing remarkable 

 in this class. In the cow class, which was only a small one of 

 three entries, Mr. Peter Coats' famous Ladybird 2nd regained 

 her positioji, and Mr. Tudge's (Ttvendoline took second place. 

 There were only two or three younger matrons, headed by Ida, 

 a very good one from the same herd as Ladybird 2nd. Mr. 

 Cooke-Hill was awarded the first prize in the two-year-old 

 heifer class for Shelsley Primula, a heifer with great substance, 

 good flesh, and grand character. This animal was also the 

 winner of the Female championship. The second prize animal 

 will probably maintain her form better, and will no doubt grow 

 into a good cow. There were several others likely to make 

 good breeding cows. The yearling heifers were a particularly 

 attractive collection, the winner lieing quite a smart one, though 

 somewhat undersized. 



Devons. — These classes contained 47 entries with a few 

 absentees. The competition thi'oughout was keen, for practi- 

 cally the whole of the animals were good I'epresentatives of the 

 breed. The four older bulls present were typical specimens. 

 The fii'st prize winner possessed charactei" and great scale, 

 probably about 23 cwt. The competition in the two-year-olds 

 was very close, the winning l)uli in this class also obtaining
