54 Report on the Exhihition of Live Stock at Bristol. 
liind legs are not very good." The third and fourth prizes were 
awarded to the Duke of Northumberland's " Ladj Jane," and 
Mrs. Sarah Jane Perj's " Lady Violet." 
In the Heifer Calf Class " Lord Fitzhardinge came to the 
front with a splendid animal," " Kirklevington Empress 3rd she 
is a roan, light in colour behind, with beautiful hair and style ; 
" she has a valuable pedigree, and was probably the best bred 
among the female classes." " Rose of Oxford 3rd,"' belonging 
to Messrs. VV. Hosken and Son, was second ; " she is a soft roan, 
and looked as if she would improve, but has one horn cropping 
up rather, and is a little steer-like about the head." " Melody," 
who came third, has the advantage of a good sire, " Attractive 
Lord," first at the Bath and West of England Show : she belongs 
to the Earl of Ellesmere. Fourth prize, Mr. A. Garfit's " Blanche 
Rosette 4th ;" and reserve number and highly commended, the 
Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire's " Lady Agnes," a nice-looking 
heifer, with good colour and long silky coat. There were several 
other exhibits mentioned by the Judges, and they called the 
whole " a strong good class." 
Class 37, cow, and not less than two of her offspring. The 
Judges thought this " a very interesting class and worthy of 
support, but there were several absentees, and some were short 
of numbers." Colonel R. Loyd-Lindsay, V.C., M.P., came first 
with "Burlesque," and her descendants, "a very even-looking 
lot ; it appears from the entries that she never bred a bull." 
Mr. Joseph Stratton's " May Rose 2nd " included a very good- 
looking bull ; and " Rosette," the first of her offspring, was 
exactly like her mother, and appeared to be a great milker. 
Mr. T. H. Miller's " family " came third. 
Meport of tlie Judges of Shorthorns at Bristol. 
The ShortLorn entries inimbered some 145 ; manj', however, were absent, 
(letriictin?; veiy much from the appearance of the standings. The animals of 
.such well-known breeders as the Marquis of Exeter, Lady Pigot, Mr. George 
Game, and some others, were among the absentees. The competition in most 
of the classes was large, the cow class being the cxcejjtion. Tliere were 
some very prime specimens of this popular biecd of cattle, but, as a whole, 
the show of Shorthorns cannot be said to come up to the usual l!oj"al standard. 
We api)end particulars of each class: — 
Class 29. — This was a large class; there was no difficuHy in awarding its 
first, second, and third prizes. No. 3G0, to which the first prize was awarded, 
was an animal of considerable merit, and full of bloom ; while the second jirize, 
although a first-class animal, was suggestive of autumn leaves; his Showyard 
career is surely almost at an end ; the same may be said of several others in 
this class. 
Class 30. — This was a moderate class, nothing of a leading character. 
^Tany of the animals showed great uncvenness; particularly noticeable iu this 
rcsixct were one or two white ones. 
Class 31. — 'J'his was also a moderate class. No. 31)5, the first prize was
