cal barrel is simply enormous, and the covering of flesh and fat 
of prodigious thickness. She is described as in-calf, and it is 
to be hoped that she may get well through her troubles. Should 
she fail to breed, she will indeed be dangerous at Islington or 
Bingley Hall. " Lady Blanche," the second prize, was also 
owned bj a lady ; and if the patchiness behind were not visible, 
she would be a grand cow ; her fore-flank would have done credit 
to " Leonora " herself. There were three absentees in the cow 
class, thus reducing the number to five only. Heifers in-calf or in- 
milk, and under three years old, were also a thin show. Air. W. 
Taylor, owner of the second-prize aged bull, took first honours 
with a wealthy fine young beast ; while Mrs. Edwards was again 
in the front rank with " Spangle 3rd," which had calf at foot, and 
showed a remarkable front and excellent quality of flesh. The 
third place was awarded to " Duchess," exhibited by Mr. 
Williams, of Cowbridge, and bred by Mr. Tudge, of Adforton, 
Hereford. Yearling Heifers were a more numerous class, every 
animal gaining either a prize or a commendation. Mr. J. H. 
Arkwright, of Hampton Court, Leominster, carried oS" both first 
and second prizes with a neat heavy-fleshed pair, bred by him- 
self, and got by his " Ivington Boy," No. 4662. Mr. Thomas 
Thomas, of Cowbridge, a very successful breeder of the white- 
faces, took third honours with " Ladv 3rd," a very gay and 
improving heifer, and Mr. F. Piatt the reserve with " Banner- 
ett 2nd," close on two years old. Mr. W. Taylor gained a 
commendation for '• Heroine," a well-haired heifer, with enor- 
mous loin and flank, but grossly fat. Heifer-calves, seven in 
number, were contributed by Her Majesty the Queen, Airs. 
Edwards, Mr. Thomas Thomas, Mr. Arkwright, Mr. W. Taylor, 
and other well-known breeders of Herefords, but space does not 
allow of the class being described seriatim. 
The Family Class of this breed formed an excellent collection — 
four entries, and all to the fore. The first prize was secured by 
Mr. T. J. Cawardine, owner of the grand young bull " Anxiety " 
(Class 67), and hence this exhibitor might well have been men- 
tioned above in the list of successful Hereford breeders. His 
group, consisting of the seven-vear-old cow, " Cherr} ," and two 
daughters, were indeed a beautiful trio. The second prize went 
to the Earl of Coventry, again for three females, while third 
honours fell to Mr. Taylor, who has been so often mentioned as 
a prize-taker in this section of the Show. 
The Judges of Herefords sent in the following short Re- 
port : — 
We have satisfaction in being able to report that the weakness in numbers 
in some classes is amply compensated by excellent quality generally, as a very
