Report on the British and Foreign Cattle 
"Attractive Lord" (32,968), appropriately so named, first; but, 
as no third-man was called in, it may be presumed that this 
objection was withdrawn. This decision was not unanimously 
accepted by the public, many of the bystanders preferring Lord 
Ellesmere's bull, who was first at Bristol last year, and was 
shown here in the very pink of condition, if, indeed, he was 
not too fat. He is of a deep rich red, is full of freshness and 
vigour, and is altogether a taking bull. His depth in front is a 
perfect marvel, while his majestic carriage of a perfect head and 
noble crest will always keep him in the foremost rank. Though 
deposed, in a measure, from last year, to take third honours here 
was no despisable rank. The second prize was awarded to 
Mr. T. Willis's " Rear-Admiral" (37,310), bred by the exhibitor. 
His own brother took leading honours in the next class, doing 
all the more credit to the enterprising owner. " Rear- Admiral's" 
ribs form that perfect cylinder which every Shorthorn fancier 
loves to see. His loins are good, and his hind-quarters remark- 
ably long and well covered ; his bone is fine, thighs and twist 
are excellent, while behind the shoulders, where so many Short- 
horns fail, he measured more than at any other part. His head 
is short and broad, while his plates are a trifle bare, and, when 
viewed from behind, he looked somewhat narrow. Next to the 
four prize-bulls, I liked " Duke of Chamburgh " (36,052), bred 
by Mr. Outhwaite, but exhibited by Mr. W. A. Mitchell, of 
Whitehouse, Aberdeenshire. Got by the far-famed " Royal 
Windsor," and out of " White Socks " by " Baron Killerby," he 
is indeed a worthy son of most worthy parentage. Mr. Alexander 
H. Browne, of Chathill, Northumberland, showed two very stylish 
bulls in this class, both of them calculated to leave their mark 
amongst average Shorthorn cows. 
Class 58. Tico-year-old Bulls were, barring the prize- 
animals, considered by the Judges to be inferior to the older 
class. The red ribbon, as has already been stated, went to 
Mr. Willis's "Vice Admiral" (39,257), who has now scored 
three Royal firsts in three successive years ! This bull, though 
somewhat spoiled by his short, ugly, turned-back horns, and want 
of hair, displayed a grand twist, and large rounds, capitally 
sprung ribs, and powerful, well-fleshed loins, with perfect hind- 
quarters. Colonel Kingscotes "Cowslip Boy" (38,051), the 
second prize, displayed a wonderful covering of rich hair, neat 
shoulders, big rounds, and flesh to the very hock ; he had, 
moreover, deep flanks, but was a shade down in the loins. 
"Osman" (40,415), the third-prize bull, was not so good as "Duke 
of Hazlecote 48th" (39,742), the "reserve," which was bred 
by Colonel Kingscote. The former was somewhat flat in the ribs
