Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Bristol. 53 
man " was put first by the Judges after a rather long compe- 
tition. " There was some little criticism as to the award ; many 
preferring Mr. Kennard's white Bull-calf; the prize animal was 
sold the first day to go to Australia." The second prize was given 
to the Rev. Robert Bruce Kennard's " Prince Victor," a charming- 
looking pure white little calf, much admired by the public. 
Third, Mr. A. Garfit's " Scothern Butterfly 2nd." Fourth prize, 
Mr. T. W ilson's " Oxonian." Reserve number and highly com- 
mended, Mr. R. Stratton's " Autumnus." " Beyond the prize 
and commended animals, there was nothing worthy of remark." 
In Class 33, the first of the Cow Classes, for cows above three 
years old, Lord Fitzhardinge's " Rugia Niblett " came to the 
front ; she is a red cow, " a little wanting in character, showing 
slight coarseness, rather an old style of Shorthorn." The second- 
prize animal was " Moonshine," belonging to Mr. Thomas 
Atkinson ; this was an attractive cow, " with very nice top, neat, 
and full of character, but not so massive as the winner of the 
first honours." The third place was awarded to Messrs. William 
Hosken and Son's " Carnation 4th ;" the fourth to Mr. T. H. 
Hutchinson's " Grateful." Reserve number and highly com- 
mended, Mr. Benjamin St. John Ackers' " Princess Georgie." 
Highly commended, Lord Fitzhardinge, for " Minstrel 4th." 
" Beyond the prize animals, this was a weak class." 
The Class for Heifers in-milk or in-calf produced a fine lot 
of animals ; according to the Judges " the best class they have 
seen." Mr. Richard Alarsh's " Diana," a handsome roan, gene- 
rally admired, with a very level back and good touch, was first. 
She seemed a very good example of what a Shorthorn heifer 
should be. " She was the best in the Heifer Class, had a 
beautiful barrel, and would have been female champion had 
there been such a prize : she keeps her place well from last 
year." Number two, " The Lady," belonging to the Earl of 
Ellesmere, was another fine specimen of a Shorthorn heifer. 
Mr. James Slee Bult's " Bertha 3rd " took third prize, and 
"Blooming Bridesmaid " secured the fourth for the Stand Stud 
Company. The reserve number and highly commended was 
Mr. George Ashby Ashby's " Innocence ;" highly commended, 
Mr. Benjamin St. John Ackers' " Lady Carew 2nd." The com- 
mendetl heifer, " Red Rose of Virginia " " appeared to be hardly 
in Showyard trim.'' 
In the Yearling Heifer Class " there were a good many 
absentees, and no leading animals." "Jemima 4th," the pro- 
perty of Mr. Albert Brassey, was " a massive heifer, but had not 
quite the style of the winner in the previous class ; she is 
common coloured, but has good form." Colonel R. N. F. Kings- 
cote, C.B., M.P., secured second place with "Honey 6Uth ;" her
