 animal purchased at Rutherglen Fair in 1834 ; and the cow 

 was commended which was exhibited by Lawrence Drew, 

 Carmyle, Lanarkshire. Lord Mansfield had the first prize 

 for the heifers of the breed, both bred by himself 



The paucity of numbers in the section of Polled 

 warranted the combination of Galloway with the Angus 

 and Aberdeen cattle. Only one bull was entered of the 

 Angus breed, the exhibitor being Mr Watson, Keillor. 

 Only five cows were entered, four of them from Keillor, 

 and one by James Pearson, Burleigh, Kinross. Both first 

 and second prizes for cows went to Mr Watson. In the class 

 of pairs of heifers under four years old, there were only two 

 entries, both from Keillor. Of three-year-old oxen there 

 was no entry. Of four-year-old oxen there were only two 

 pairs, one by John Wauchope of Edmonstone, the other by 

 Mr Watson. The prize was awarded to Mr Watson. 



The breeders of Fife cattle made a great effort to 

 justify the premiums which were assigned to them. All 

 the cattle in the section were from Fifeshire. Six bulls were 

 entered. The prize was awarded to Col. Lindsay of Bal- 

 carres for an animal six years old, bred by James Thomson,
