beautifully got up, he has a good outline but showed a little delicacy. The 
second- and third-prixe animals were of excellent quality, the latter will 
doubtless improve in his fore-quarters as he grows older. 
Class 32. — Although this was a large class and contained many useful 
animals, vet, beyond those to which the j'rizes were awarded, there was 
nothing to call for especial remark. The first-prize calf has better sprung ribs, 
more flesh, and is a truer made animal, than the second-prize, wiiich, although 
shown in the finest trim, lacks the same depth of desh ; his tail too is not so well 
I>at on, something mi:;ht also be said about his nose. We had no hesitation 
in making these awards. 
Class 33. — This was a small and moderate class, by no means up to the 
mark for a Koyal Show ; the first-prize cow took by very far the lead. 
Class 34. — There were eleven entries in this class, and to show our appre- 
ciation of it seven were noticed. The first- and second-prize animals were 
especially good, the former reminding us of the gems of the late Mr. Kichaid 
Booth in his ixUmiest days. 
Class 35. — The entries in this class numbered twenty-three, six of which, 
however, were absent ; eleven out of the remaining seventeen were noticed, 
a fact sUiisestive of our appreciation of the class. 
Class 3»j. — '1 here were also twenty -three entries in this class, eighteen of 
which appeared in the ring, ten receiving notice. The first j^ize was a gem ; 
if fortune favours her she will adorn future Showyards. Many of the yoimgsters 
in this class promise well. 
Class 37. — There was not that competition in this interesting class we 
could wish to have seen ; we conader it one well worthy the encouragement 
of the Society. A family group will test the merits of a herd. The prize 
animals in this class were well worthy of their distiocticm. 
In conclusion, we have the satisfaction of adding, that after due and carefiil 
attention to the merits of the various animals thought before us, all our 
decisions were unanimously arrive.i at. Our best thanks are due to the 
steward of our department for the business-like arrangements he made for 
placing the animal^ in the ring.

There were onlv three entries for the Old Ball Class, and the 
owners of the prize-winners took the same position as last vear 
at Liverpool, though Mr. Taylor won on this occasion with 
another animal. His bull, '* Thoughtful," first in the three-vear- 
old class last vear, was a grand beast, with great depth and very 
good hind-quarters. Mr. Thomas Thomas s *' Horace 2nd," the 
same that took second place at Liverpool, looked a more massive 
bull than his conqueror in this class. Messrs. J. Lewis and 
Edwin Powell n era successful with " Telescope," who in his 
breeder's hands took second in the vounger class at Liverpool ; 
he has a great dewlap, but seemed not quite so good behind the 
shoulders as he might be. In the female classes the pair of 
heifers under three-vears-old. belonging to Mrs. Sarah Edwards, 
were very much admiretl. " Leonora was a splendid animal, in 
great condition, with short legs, enormous barrel, and level top ;
