Report on the British and Foreign Cattle 
large proportion of tlie animals exliibited possess massive and true form with 
remarkably deep and level flesh — palchy backs and gaudy rumps being quite the 
exception. The Champion Bull was closely pressed in his class by " Thoughtful," 
but the beautiful head, well-covered shoulders, and very heavy and level flesh 
throughout, turned the scale in favour of the former. The Champion female, 
the distinguished " Leonora," never appeared in better form. We consider her 
'ihe best Hereford cow we ever saw, and probably a more perfect specimen of 
any breed is not in existence.

Though numbering only a trifle over fifty entries, these reds 
were, as usual, wherever they are shown, second to none in 
neatness and in the best beef-points. Lord Falmouth, Mr. 
Walter Farthing, and ]Mr. W. R. Fry er were the principal 
prize-takers. In the Aged Bull class, four entries, his Lord- 
ship secured first honours with " Sirloin," No. 1443, whose 
abundant and firm flesh must have pleased the most fas- 
tidious ; the second prize went to " Sir Copplestone," bred by 
Mr. J. Gould, and exhibited by his successor, Mr. Albert 
Gould. In the class of Two-year-old Bulls, Mr. W. Farthing 
scored a win, but was closely pressed by Lord Falmouth with a 
nameless son of " Duke of Tregothnan ;" the third place being 
secured by Colonel BuUer, C.B., of Downes, Devonshire. In the 
class of Yearling Bulls, Lord Falmouth was again first, with a 
more than creditable son of " Sirloin," winner in the Aged Bull 
class ; and Mr. Walter Farthing followed very closely with a 
youngster only thirteen months old, sired by " Nelson," dam, 
" Duchess 2nd," by " Forester." In the class of Bull-calves, 
which were a pretty and even lot, Mr. W. R. Fryer had three 
exhibits, taking first and third prizes with "Sweet William" 
and " Daffodil" respectively, Colonel Buller being again third. 
The Cow class reached onlv seven entries, but the entire lot 
were so meritorious as to gain a general commendation from the 
Judges. Mr. Walter Farthing's " Pretty-face," well known in 
many a Show-ring, was placed first, and afterwards carried off 
the Champion plate as the best Devon female. Mrs. Langdon 
took the second prize with " Temptress 8th," a A'ery neat 
cow, showing a long line of pedigree. " Comely," owned by 
Mr. William Perry, made a good third ; while " Gipsy Girl," 
No. 4531, with a capital calf at foot, had many admirers, and 
gained a commendation. 
The Heifers in-calf or in-milk (Class 80) were headed by 
" Prettyface 2nd," a most promising daughter of the first-prize 
cow, and sired by " Master Willie." Mrs. Langdon haol an ex-
