The Judges of the Shorthorn cattle communicated to me 
their remarks on the noteworthy animals in their classes in 
the Showground, so I give them nearly verbatim. In Class 29, 
Bull above three years old, the Earl of Ellesmere's " Attractive 
Lord " was first ; " a grand massive beast, with great style and 
majestic carriage, a wonderful barrel, and short legs ; he is a 
little short of hair." Mr, William Linton's " Sir Arthur Ingram " 
took second place (he was first at Liverpool last year) ; " a grand 
old bull, has been exhibited very often ; it would be wise in his 
owner to withdraw him from Showyards." " General Fusee," 
belonging to Mr. Thomas Hardwick Bland, took third place ; 
fourth, Mr. Jabez Cruse, " Oxford Duke 10th ;" reserve number 
and highly commended, Mr. W. Handley's " Royal Irwin ;" 
Mr. A. H. Browne's " Pioneer," Mr. J. Vicker's " Duke of Howl 
John," and Mr. J. S. Bull's " Gallant Gay," were highly com- 
mended. " The whole class, excepting prize animals and those 
commended, was a middling one." 
Bulls above two and not exceeding three years old were " a 
very modest class." " Kalamazoo," the property of Mr. W. 
Tennant, secured first place, and was second in the yearling class 
last year at Liverpool ; he is a red and white bull, sired by " Sir 
Arthur Ingram," but " does not show sufficient masculine charac- 
ter." Mr. R. Stratton's " Pearl Diver " was second. Mr. John 
Elwell's " Bainesse Windsor," third. The Stand Stud Com- 
pany's " Favourite " was fourth ; the reserve and highly com- 
mended " Huntley " belonged to Mr. George Gibbons. 
Mr. Thomas Willis, junior's, "Vice Admiral," a roan, with 
good outline, was first among the yearling bulls ; he is rather 
short of hair, and " his horns show delicacy of constitution, and 
lack of masculine character." Colonel R. Loyd-Lindsay, V.C., 
M.P., was second, with a nice-looking roan bull, " Churchill." 
Colonel R. Nigel F. Kingscote, C.B., M.P., took third place 
with " Cowslip Boy." Fourth, the Duke of Northumberland's 
" Lord Mayor." Reserve number and highly commended, " Lord 
St. Vincent," belonging to Mr. W. Handley. This was " a 
middling class, some useful animals, nothing leading." 
Among the Bull-calves, Mr. Samuel T. Tregaskis's "Master-
