In 1875, the Society held a most successful show at 

 Glasgow. The sum offered in premiums was ;^iooo in 

 excess of the amount at the previous show in 1867. There 

 was a fair number of entries in all the classes, and the stock 

 was superior. Of cattle, there were in all 411 entries. Of 

 these, sixty-six were Shorthorns. A. H. Browne, Doxford, 

 had distinguished success, taking the first premiums in all 

 the classes for bulls — his first prize aged bull being Duke 

 of Aosta 28356, his first prize two-year-old being Rosario 

 35315, and his yearling Pioneer 35042, the two latter being 

 sons of the first prize aged bull. T. H. Hutchinson, Manor 

 House, took the first premium for cows with Lady Playful, 

 and the first for two-year-old heifers with Lady Alicia, the 

 first prize in yearlings being awarded to James Lawrence, 

 Thornhill, for Ida. 



Of Angus or Aberdeen, there were fifty entries. The 

 Marquis of Huntly carried the first premium in aged bulls 

 with Duke of Perth 357 ; the Earl of Plfe taking the first

 yearlings with St Clair 1160. In cows, the Marquis of 

 Huntly took the first premium with Dora 1282 ; Mr 

 M'Combie of Easter Skene first premium in two-year-olds 

 with Blackberry 181 3 ; and Sir Thomas Gladstone of 

 P'asquc the first in yearlings with Emilie 2513. 



Of Galloways, there were fifty-three entries. James 

 Cunningham, Tarbreoch, carried the first honour in aged 

 bulls with Cunningham 824 ; Robert Rae, Meikle Cocklick, 

 first in two-year-olds with Oliver 1102 ; and J. Jardine
