Report on the British and Foreign Cattle 
the arched form. Cows were an excellent lot of eight, and to 
all but one was a card of merit awarded. Captain Best's first- 
prize cow was closel}^ pressed bj Mr. Edward Elias's " Mwynic," 
a rare sort ; while Earl Cawdor's third-prize cow was wonderfully 
fresh for a ten-year-old. Of Heifers in-calf, Mr. Elias showed 
the best, having capital back-ribs and loin, though rather small 
in the horn ; in the latter feature she was surpassed by Mr. C. S. 
Mainwaring's second prize, whose fine open horn, round barrel, 
and grand loin marked her out as a dangerous rival. In Year- 
ling Heifers, Mr. Griffiths, of Tenby, stood both first and third, 
with two half-sisters. The first, though a lengthy stylish 
heifer, betrayed a slight thinness through the heart, and was 
rather crooked in her hind-legs. 
Other British Breeds. 
The Bull class here was especially noticeable as furnishing 
the much-admired and singularly interesting bull " Adam," 
exhibited by the Earl of Tankerville, and the result of a cross 
(the first experiment of the kind ever made) between one of his 
Lordship's " Chillingham Wild Bulls " and a pure-bred white 
Shorthorn dam. His fine big loins, large fore-shoulder, deep 
flanks, long hind-quarters, lengthy carcass, and " Booth " head, 
might betray one into the belief that he was a pure Shorthorn, 
while the red-tipped ears and speckled forefeet, all so charac- 
teristic of the wild cattle, point to his true descent. The 
peculiar brown muzzle seemed to strike midway between the 
black nose of the sire and the light, flesh-coloured nose of the 
dam. "Adam," though showing two capital ends, was deficient 
in the fore-ribs ; still, he well merited the first prize, beating 
a pure Shorthorn bull-calf, exhibited by Mr. Blott. 
And here I gladly submit the 
Beport of the Judges of Longhorns, Welsh Cattle, and other British 
Breeds. 
Class 91. The breed of Longliorns we consider are well represented in this 
class ; the first- and sccond-piize animals competed at Bristol last year. We 
perceive that the decisions then given are now reversed, the Duke of Buck- 
ingham's old bull having to give place to his antagonist ; but the Duke's old 
bull carries his age well. 
Class 92. In this class the Judges consider No. 1143 possessed of sufficient 
merit to entitle him to the second prize, and recommend that it be awarded 
to him. 
Class 93. A good class, shown in fine condition, doing credit to the 
exhibitors. 
Class 94. A grand class ; the Judges were some considerable time in 
making their decisions, the competition being very close and severe. 
Class 95. This was an excellent class, highly creditable to the exhibitors,, 
the competition between the first and second prize-animals being very close.
