The Norwich Show, 1911. 'I'lh 



numbers were satisfactory. The quality of the cattle was 

 above the averige. Class 184, for old bulls, contained no less 

 than eleven entries, and the first four or five were fully credit- 

 able to the breed. The first prize bull was rather low in 

 condition, but full of quality and masculine character in every 

 way. The second was a very massive, well-grown bull, perhaps 

 a trifle on the large side, but in every respect a handsome bull, 

 and running the winner very close for first place. A well- 

 shaped bull came in for third prize. In Class 185 (bulls calved 

 in 1910), the first place was taken by a very straight growing 

 bull, which came all the way from South Devon. This was a 

 good class. Class 186, for cows, contained the satisfactory entry 

 of seventeen, and it took some little time to decide between the 

 merits of the first three. Class 187, for two-year-old heifers, 

 was a small one, but the quality was good. The first and 

 second promised particularly well for the dairy, having well- 

 shaped udders. Class 188 (yearling heifers) had a more 

 numerous entry, and, as is frequently the case with yearlings, 

 it was a matter of some difficulty to make a selection among 

 the best half-dozen. 



Kerries. — The Kerries were not so well represented as the 

 Dexters, although there were some good animals exhibited, 

 notably Mr. R. Tait Robertson's La Mancha Mr. Dooley, the 

 first prize winner in Class 190, and also Champion for the best 

 Kerry in the Show, a splendid animal, showing all the 

 characteristics of the breed. Lady GreenalTs Fenella, a 

 I)eaiTtiful Kerry cow, first in Class 191 and R. N. for Champion, 

 I'an the bull very hard for the Challenge Cup. Lady Greenall's 

 Walton Fame and Walton Feather, Ixjth nice heifers, took 

 first prizes in their respective classes. The Kerry cows were 

 l)y far the best class in this section. With the exception of the 

 heifers named, the others were not very good, there being only 

 eight entries in two classes. 



Dexters. — In Class 195 (bulls) twelve very good animals 

 came into the ring. His Majesty the King taking first prize and 

 Reserve for Champion with Robin Hood, a nice level animal. 

 The cows were a very good lot, the Hon. Mrs. Claud Portman's 

 La Mancha Hard to Find being an easy winner for first prize 

 and Championship. One rarely sees a finer specimen of a 

 Dexter cow. The heifers in both Classes 197 and 198 were well 

 shown, although some of them, particularly in Class 198, were 

 inclined to be coarse. Barrow Bracelet in Class 197 and 

 Barrow Buttercup 2nd in Class 198, owned and bred by Mr- 

 H. Martin Gibbs, took first prize in their respective classes, and 

 were both very good animals. Mrs. Edward Morant's Hayivard 

 Kenmare, the winner of the second prize in Class 198, was 

 also a very promising heifer.
