white twenty- one-month-old heifer of his Lordship's own 
breeding, viz., " Marchioness 11th," a daughter of the highly- 
bred " Duchess " bull " Duke of Underley," son of the 6300 
guinea cow " 10th Duchess of Geneva." 
Five prizes, varying from 12/. to 24/., having been offered for 
cows or heifers over two years old, good competition was secured. 
Here again Her Majesty the Queen and the Marquis of Exeter 
had the best of it ; the Queen with the mother of the second 
yearling heifer and the Marquis with the half-sister of the first- 
prize heifer. Victory, however, was once more clearly on the 
Marquis's side. His beautiful four-year-and-five-month-old roan 
cow " Telemacina," sired by " Telemachus," and out of " Lady 
Penrhyn," by the " Duke of Wharfdale" (21619), whose name 
indicates that Bates blood is in her veins, was not to be 
denied. " Telemacina" is so well known to many of the English 
Show-goers that little need be said of her appearance on the 
banks of the Seine. She was really the only firm rival that her 
half-sister had for the distinction of being the best Showyard 
Shorthorn in tbe Exhibition. " Telemacina " has a grandly 
arched rib, good loin, nice shoulder, and good quality. Along 
the top she is faultless, and the deficiency which characterised 
her last year, when she was third at the Liverpool "Royal," viz., 
a little bareness below, is less visible than it was in 1877. If we 
mistake not, she is a better Shorthorn cow than any we have 
seen in the British Showyard this season. " Cawlina 5th," 
from Windsor, which was the second-prize two-year-old at 
the Aberdeen Highland Show in 1876, and was third at the 
Edinburgh Highland Show in 1877, made a capital second. 
Lengthy, heavy, and stylish, she proves well under the hand, is 
getting a trifle patchy, but is all over a handsome daughter 
of the late Mr. T. C. ^oot\i\ "King Tom" (31,521). Lady 
Pigot was stiffly in for the third ticket in this class also ; 
she had nothing to say to it earlier. The Jurors hesitated a 
considerable time between her Ladyship's cows and Mr. Robert 
Bruce's " Miss Fox," from Manor House, Northallerton, and bred 
by Mr. Outhwaite. " Miss Fox " is a four-year-old white daughter 
of that remarkable nine-year-old bull, "Royal Windsor" (29,890), 
bred by Mr. Willis, and the winner of first honours at the 
Cardiff Royal and Kelso Highland Shows in 1872. This cow 
won the coveted ticket at the Edinburgh Highland Show in 1877, 
beating then " Cawlina 5th," now preferred without a murmur. 
To handle, " Miss Fox," since exported to New South Wales, 
is a little stiff, but her outline is gootl, her neck vein remarkably 
well filled, while she covers a great deal of ground in proportion 
tf) her apparent size. She was ultimately chosen for third 
honours, which was all that her plucky owner could have ex-
