Report on the British and Foreign Cattle 
Norfolk and Suffolk Polled. 
This breed, which has the reputation of flourishing on poor, 
cold, scanty pasture, was but sparingly represented, the total 
entry being only 35. Paucity in numbers, however, was fully 
compensated for by the rare excellence of the prize animals ; 
moreover, several of those to whom prizes did not fall, did 
infinite credit to the exhibitors. Mr. J. J. Colman, M.P., 
was, as usual, well forward amongst the leading honours. 
In Class 107, Aged Bulls, father and son met in friendly anta- 
gonism, the junior having, and not for the first time by 
several, to yield the premier place to his magnificent sire, 
" Davyson 3rd," exhibited by Mr. T. L. Palmer, of Attle- 
borough. This bull stood on short neatly-turned legs, and was 
remarkably even all over ; his rounds, too, were singularly 
massive — qualities which he had, in a measure, transmitted to 
his son. The third ticket fell to Mr. J. J. Colman, M.P. In 
the Class of Yearling Bulls, Mr. Colman pulled off both first and 
second honours, the former with " Skobeloff," remarkable for 
his deep flanks and mellow handling ; the latter with an un- 
named son of " Rufus," who betrayed weakness along the back, 
with ribs hardly round enough. The Cow Class was headed 
by Mr. R. E. Lofft's ^' Minnie 3rd," showing deep well-covered 
ribs, prominent brisket, and bountiful bag. The second-prize 
cow was the property of Mr. J. J. Colman. In the Two-year- 
old Heifer Class, Mr. Alfred Taylor's " Flirt," the champion 
female, and a previous heavy winner, stood pre-eminent ; while 
in yearlings, Mr. George Goodenham carried off both first and 
second honours. The champion plate for males of this breed 
went to " Davyson 3rd," already described. 
The Judges Report on the foregoing Classes is given below : 
Norfolk and Suffolk Bed Polled Catlle. (^Report of the Judges at 
Kilburn.^ 
Thirty-four animals in the five classes creditably represented this handsome 
"breed. 
Class 107. Bull above Two Tears old. — Five entries ; the first p^ize was 
easily won by Ko. 1473, a grand^bull, good at all points, and although nearly 
six years old, as fresh and springy in his gait as a yearling. Second prize, 
No. 1471, a little over three years old, presents the desirable combination of 
size with quality. We unanimously recommended No. 1475 for a third prize, 
notwithstanding that he has a somewhat flat-sided appearance, owing to a 
protuberant paunch ; he is, however, especially good in the thighs. 
Class 108. Yearling Bulls. — An uneven lot, calling for no special comment 
except that they are a long way behind their seniors. 
Class 109. Cow above Three Years old. — No. 1486 was at once selected for 
first prize, her touch and size being superior, albeit she showed signs of pre-
