differed in their opinion, another gentleman was called in, who, after examin- 
ing the animals, decided in favour of No. 922. 
From this Report it will be seen that we were not unanimous in all our 
decisions. This cannot be wondered at when it is known that we are breeders 
of such different types of animals.

Though not present in large numbers, this breed was sufficiently 
in force to show its excellence as beef-producers as against 
milk-givers. Mr. Aaron Roger's " Grateful," winner of the 
first prize in the Aged Bull Class, and subsequently of the 
Champion plate as best male Hereford, is a magnificent speci- 
men of the sort. He stands on short legs, is very prominent in 
front, but shows a little short and round at the tail-head. Last 
year, at Oxford, he carried oflF the open Champion cup, beating 
the Royal Shorthorn bull, " Sir Arthur Ingram." The second 
prize, " Thoughtful," owned by Mr. William Taylor, is not far 
short of his more favoured rival, the hind-quarters being better 
than those of " Grateful." Both bulls are well covered with 
thick heavy flesh. Of the other two to which tickets were 
awarded, many onlookers preferred Mr. Lutley's " Cupid," whose 
big forearm, well-sprung rib, and heavy flanks, made him a 
dangerous antagonist. 
In the Two-year-old Bull Class there were only three entries, 
all brought to the ring. " Anxiety," the winner, is singularly 
neat and well-proportioned throughout, with rounds remarkably 
developed, hence he ran " Grateful " very close indeed for the 
championship. Besides local prizes, his dam can boast of three 
firsts at the " Royal," and a like number at the " Bath and West 
of England" Shows. Mr. Thomas Thomas, of Cowbridge, South 
Wales, was deservedly awarded the " reserve" ticket for his very- 
valuable bull, "Goldfinder." 
The Yearling Bulls were a remarkably good collection, each 
one of the five exhibits taking a ticket out of the ring. Bull- 
calves, Class 69, though a very creditable and promising lot, 
call for no special mention. 
Hereford cows were easily topped by Mrs. Sarah Edwards's mag- 
nificent " Leonora," specially referred to by the Judges in their 
Report which follows (p. 616). Though shown in a condition 
far too high for a breeding animal, this cow was undoubtedly 
the best Hereford in the yard, if not the most perfect female 
in any of the cattle classes. The girth of her long and cylindri-
