516 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Manchester. 
opinion, that had there been a prize for the best male shorthorn, 
" Bolivar " must have taken it. 
The last appearance of Colonel Towneley's "Royal Butterfly," 
now 12 years old, should be recorded. He did not, and could 
not, have been expected to yf 'm any honours with all his pride of 
youth and even his maturity gone ; but his frame is still grand, 
and well worthy of careful study. 
The Judges' Report of Female Shorthorns is as follows : — 
We do not consider the Cov) Class equal to that at Leicester. No. 501, 
" Lady Fragrant," again takes the first prize; No. 492, Lady Pigot's " Queen 
of Kosalea," a wealthy good cow, takes second honours. These prizes were 
soon apportioned, but the tliird was a matter of greater difficulty, and eventu- 
ally rested between 496 and 497, the former, Captain R. Tennant's " Miss 
Farewell," and the latter, Messrs. W. Hosken and Son's " Eosebud," a large, 
very fat, and tolerably even cow, but she was defeated in the opinion of the 
judges by the very superior quality of "Miss Farewell." No. 491, Mr. East- 
wood's cow, was commended, but she was patchy about her rumps, whilst 
Colonel Towneley's, No. 498, was very good about her rumps and hips, but 
light about her fore quarters, and deficient in hair. 
The three prize Heifers in Class 45, »i caff or in milk, were very good. No. 
508, Mr. Bootli's " Patricia," a very grand heifer, full of hair, and fine quality, 
gained first prize ; No. 506, Mr. Lynn's " Queen of Diamonds," obtained 
.second. She was a very evenly grown lengthy heifer and six months younger 
than No. 503, Mr. How's " Lady Anne," which gained third. " Lady Anne " 
was also a very good heifer, her fore flank particularly a good point, although 
very fat, she carried her flesh very evenly, but for breeding purposes the 
Judges preferred *No. 506. No. 502, the Rev. Leonard Charles Wood's 
" Miranda 10th," was the reserved number ; a fine animal, but uneven between 
the rumps and hijjs. 
Class 46, Yearling Heifers, was the best class of the female shorthorns. 
No. 534, Colonel Towneley's heifer, the most promising animal in all the 
class for propagating a fine race of shorthorns ; with two exceptions she 
was the youngest in tlie class, she was a great length, with fine hair and 
quality, loins particularly good, rump and hips also, and well filled between 
deep ribs ; thighs, fore-flank, and chine good. She, of course, came first 
on the prize list. No. 536, Mr. Torr's " Cherry Queen 4th," obtained 
second, being a very nice heifer, but slightly deficient in her fore-flank. No. 
521, Mr. Eastwood's " Double Butterfly 2nd," a wealthy fine animal, a little 
disfigured by being high between her hips, yet good in all other points, and 
showing great constitution. No. 514, Mr. Stratton's " Ariel," received the 
reserved number ; a very thick but small heifer, and not quite right about 
her rumps. There were several more promising heifers amongst them. Mr. 
Pawlett's " Charmer 11th," rather over-rumped, which will probably increase 
with age. Lord Tredegar's " Star of Gwent " was an animal of some promise. 
Colonel Towneley also exhibited two heifers in addition to the prize animal, 
with very fine fore-quarters and good quality, but deficient in their rumps. 
The Rev. R. Edwards Taylor's " Margary," No. 512, although rather upright 
in her shoulders, promises to be a breeder of good shorthorns. 
Class 47, Heifer Calves, possessed several promising animals ; here the first 
prize was awarded to the youngest but one in the class. No. 541, Mr. Stratton's 
" Flower Girl," a very stylish calf with fine colour, and not overfed. She had 
good rumps and hips, level back and loins, fore-flank and dew-lap good, neck 
lengthy and well set into her shoulders, her hair might have been more mossy 
with advantage. No. 547, Mr. Eastwood's " Red Butterfly," obtained second ;
