P. Turner with Portia, by The Grove 3d, was sec- 

 ond. Thomas Fenn with Downton Beauty, by Down- 

 ton Boy, was third, and the entire class was H. C. 

 or commended. 



The next was the best class of the meeting cows 

 with two offspring. Giantess, now shown with the 

 splendid heifer Golden Treasure and the great 

 young bull Good Boy, had first prize, and a wonder- 

 ful trio they were. Second went to Eobert HalPs 

 Lovely, the last year's winner, seen now with one 

 of the Beading winners, Theodora, by Lord Wil- 

 ton, and the young bull Lord Ashton, by Chancellor. 

 The third prize was won by William Tudge's Bose- 

 leaf, by Lord Hythe, her dam being Eosebud, by 

 Sir Thomas, with the young bull Prince Eose, a 

 prize-winner at Eeading, and a bull calf Leinthall, 

 by Auctioneer (5194). 



The Great Shrewsbury Show of 1884. Shrews- 

 bury is in the adjoining county to what is called the 

 home of the Hereford; many and many a good 

 Hereford has been bred around Shrewsbury and in 

 the surrounding region, particularly during the late 

 Lord Berwick's time when Walford, his sons, and 

 grandsons were at Cronkhill. Then there were 

 Meires of Eyton-on-Severn, Hill of Golding, and 

 other noted old-time breeders. Indeed there are 

 still some capital herds in that district, as has been 

 proved at the shows of the present day. The 

 Shrewsbury Eoyal of 1884 was well supported, the 

 principal breeders sending their best animals to 

 compete, and the entries numbering 144.
