222 The Norwich Show, 1911. 



heifers fifty-four were entered, and a very meritorious lot they 

 were. The majority were very level, rich in colour, and 

 promise to develop into deep milking cows. 



' Aberdeen Ang-us. — The classes were , remarkably well filled. 

 The sixty-one animals entered came from some of the best 

 known herds in England and Scotland, and included three 

 from his Majesty the King's farm at Abergeldie Mains. The 

 cattle were a nice lot, and well brought out. The Gold Medal 

 ofl^ered l)y the Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society for the best 

 animal in Classes 156 to 161 was awarded to Mr. Kerr's cow 

 Jiuinista Erica, and the Gold Medal of the English Aberdeen 

 Angus Cattle Association for the best animal of the opposite 

 sex to that of the animal awarded the Gold Medal of the 

 Aberdeen Angus Society in Classes 156 to 161 was awarded 

 to Mr. Drummond's bull, Wildgrave of Ballindalloch. 



Galloways. — So far away from the home of the breed a 

 large exhibit was not looked for, but the individual merit of 

 the various animals did great credit to both the breed and 

 exhibitors. Where there is no supreme championship given, 

 it is worthy of record that perhaps the best animal in the 

 section was the winner in the cow class, shown by Mr. Robert 

 Graham, of Auchengassel, and bred by Mr. Lane, Rust Hall, 

 Ireland, from which country we so seldom have an exhibit 

 taking a prominent place at our national shows. In the older 

 class for bulls there were four animals forward, the first prize 

 being given to Marchfield Despised. This five-year-old bull is 

 particularly stylish, level, and well fleshed, and was Champion 

 bull at the Highland Society's show last year. The second and 

 third prize takers were one year younger, and have occupied 

 either first or second in their own class wherever shown. Bull 

 stirks, as was to be expected, were not shown in the same form 

 as in the older class, but the first and second were animals of 

 distinct merit. The female classes contained animals of great 

 })romise. The first and second in the cow class were very 

 difficult to equal, combining as they did both quality and 

 substance. The thirtl prize animal, a three-year-old cow, was 

 not in the same show form as her rivals. The heifer class had 

 again two excellent leaders, Messrs. Thomas Biggar & Sons 

 showing a big sized yearling, Lizzie 4th of Chapelton, sired by 

 their third prize bull, " Sweepstakes."" She was brought out in 

 fine bloom, and, having good lines and being an excellent 

 handler, is quite a credit to the breed. Mr. A. H. Fox- 

 Brockbank's second prize yearling has not the growth of the 

 first to commend her, but with a perfect head, neck, and 

 shoulder, made it vei-y difficult to decide which of the two 

 should lead the class. The third prize heifer, a very useful 

 t\vo-yeai--old, was shown by Mr. Robert Graham.
