Class 39. — Three shown. No. 502, first prize; a bull of considerable merit 
and of nice quality. No. .501, second prize ; a useful bull, but stood badly oa

Not being far from the home of this breed, it might naturally 
have been imagined that there would be a good muster at Bristol ; 
however, though the quality was good, and the prize-winners 
made a beautiful appearance on parad'", the classes were by no 
means full. Viscount Falmouth's "Sirloin" was first in the old 
class ; he has a great girth and level top, and was lirst last year 
among the younger bulls. Mr. Walter Farthing's " Royal Aston" 
showed beautiful quality in the class under three years. The 
bull-calves were a very excellent lot. Mr. Walter Farthing's 
exliibits were preeminent among the cow classes ; he was first 
and second out of a very good lot of old cows. " Prettyfacc "
