bred and exhibited bj Messrs. Hosken and Son, has well-sprung 
ribs, capital hair and touch, is particularly good behind the 
shoulders, but is inclined to slight patchiness behind. This 
heifer was second to Lord Fitzhardinge's at Bristol last year. 
Mr. Pugh's fourth prize, " Tulip 4th," was stiff under the hand, 
but possessed a grand loin, short legs, and rich full coat. 
The "reserve number," also exhibited by Mr. Pugh, was a 
very pretty heifer, showing great width of back and fine bone. 
The Earl of Dunmore had an almost perfect exhibit in this 
class, one of his famous " Red Roses " ; and it was matter of 
surprise to very many why she had been passed over by the 
Judges. Her hind-legs were the best in the class, her quarters 
are long, twist wonderful, chine broad, loins and crops singu- 
larly good, shoulders and bosom beautiful. A slight plainness 
at the setting on of the tail was her only defect. In addition to 
these I may favourably mention " Diadem 5th," shown by 
H.R.H. the Prince of Wales ; " Cassia," the property of Mr. 
Maxwell Gambleton, County of VVaterford, and first prize at 
the Royal Dublin Show in April ; " Snowdrop," from Lord 
Ellesmere's herd ; " Premium 7th, " owned b}' Mr. George 
Game ; " Bridal Wreath," from the stalls of His Grace the 
Duke of Northumberland ; and " Cleveland Lass 3rd," who 
deservedly won for Lord Feversham a " commended " card. 
Class 64. Heifer-calves. — These again, like the preceding, 
were all commended, the Judges, moreover, being unanimous 
in all the decisions. Her Majesty had two entries, very pretty 
heifers, and well deserving honourable mention. Lord Fitz- 
hardinge took a well-merited first with " Lady Wild Eyes 15th," 
sired, as was his Lordship's second-prize yearling heifer, by the 
4500 guinea bull, "Duke of Connaught " (33,604). She is 
straight and broad in the back, with a beautiful bosom, hide 
a trifle heavy but lifting well, quarters broad and firm, a slight 
drooping behind being noticeable. Mrs. Sarah Jane Pery, of 
Ballina, Ireland, had an easy second in her " Madeline Bene- 
dicta," by "Royal Benedict" (27,348), the slight defect through 
the heart being compensated for by her magnificent twist, pro- 
minent neck-vein, fine head and eye, and rich heavy covering 
of hair. With common luck this youngster will be heard of 
again. " Lady Ashton 4th," half-sister to the first prize, took 
third honours for Sir J. H. G. Smyth, Bart., of Ashton Court. 
This youngster showed round ribs, big crops, and other valuable 
points, and, if I mistake not, more honours are in store for her. 
The fourth prize was awarded to Mr. W. H. Wodehouse for 
" Countess of Woolmers 2nd," whose dam showed to such 
advantage in the Family Class. Messrs. W. Hosken and Son
