(12,616), from " Miranda," by " Regent " (544), and " Jubilee," 
by " Prince " (521). A very handsome nineteen-month heifer, 
roan in colour, showing perhaps better breeding than her 
more fortunate opponent, and owned by M. Tiersonnier, of 
Gimouille, Nievre, made a close second. Got by " Noble Oasis," 
this fine heifer is descended from a tribe that has had along and 
successful career in France, and that traces back, through 
" Young Matcham " (4423), and " Rose's Red Bull " (5009), to 
" Turnell's Red Bull" (1536). His dam traces through 
"Baltic" (12,431) to "Pilot" (496), "Orpheus" (473), and 
" Favourite " (252). The third-prize heifer, owned by M. 
Gardye de la Chapelle, of Farges-Allichamps, Cher, claims 
descent, through " Third Duke of Athole" (12,734), from "Young 
Remus" (2522) and " Bolingbroke " (86). Count de Massol 
had in this class to content himself with the fifth prize, the 
winner of which was a neat, stylish, thirteen-month heifer, got 
by " Turenne," the sire of the first-prize young bull, and out of a 
cow whose family has long been in France, and claims descent, 
through " Little John " (4232), from " Flora," by " Young Comet " 
(157). 
Heifers, two and three years old, were grouped in one class, 
and numbered about 20. The majority were very good, of 
fair size, well-shaped, and fairly bred, but among the lot were 
a few without much to recommend them. Count de Falloux 
came first here with a three-year-old roan heifer, got by " Tric- 
trac," and out of a cow tracing, through Earl Spencer's 
" Tinker" (8710), and " Duchess," by " Belvedere 2nd " (3126), 
to " The Paddock Bull " (477). Large in size and evenly fleshed, 
this heifer lacked style and character. A somewhat common- 
looking three-year-old roan, owned by the Marquis de laTullaye, 
and got by Mr. Fowler's " Roan Bull," out of a cow tracing, 
through "Reveller" (8430), to " Rufus " (570), was place'd 
second ; but in preference to her we should have taken three 
or four others that were placed further down the prize-list. M. 
Salvat, of Saint Claude, Loir-et-Cher, came third with a three- 
year-old roan heifer that, in our opinion, was the best specimen of 
the Shorthorn breed in the class. Her sire traces back, through 
"Sir Richard" (15,298), to "Favourite" (252) and "White 
Bull " (627) ; while her dam claims descent, through "Favourite " 
(8066), from " Fisher's Bull" (2022). The fifth-prize heifer, a 
handsome two-year-old roan, is related to Count de Falloux's 
first-prize heifer, and was got by a bull descended, through 
" VViseton" (11,054), from " Pope " (514) and " Chilton " (136). 
The cow class was by far the largest in the Section, con- 
taining, as it did, about 40 animals. In so large a class 
there was room for variety, and it is but right to say that a
