Report on the British and Foreign Cattle 
Park, near Carlisle, but bred by Mr. Graham, of Longtown, stood 
remarkably well on short clean legs ; his ribs were also well let 
down, and well covered with lean flesh ; while he possessed the 
additional merit of being in no more than everyday working 
condition. Barring a slight roughness at the setting-on of the tail, 
Mr. Cunningham's second was little inferior to his vanquisher, 
and he, too, was in no way over-fattened. Of Heifers, in-Calf 
or in-Milk, only four were presented, but they were all of true 
Galloway type, perfect specimens of the breed. His Royal 
Highness the Prince of Wales was awarded both first prize and 
the " reserve," the former for a Cumberland-bred heifer, doing 
great credit to the breeder — Mr. Murray, of Low Row, near 
Brampton. She was of remarkable length of body, had abun- 
dant hair, and a well-filled udder, and had a promising calf at 
foot. This was a sweet-looking heifer throughout. The second 
and third prizes went to Mr. Graham, of Longtown (already 
mentioned as breeder and owner of the first-prize cow, and of 
other winners), for two very neat heifers bred by himself. 
The former, though smaller than her companion, stood on re- 
markably short legs, and was singularly neat in the rump and 
hind-quarters. She had never, until now, been beaten in any 
Show-ring. 
Polled Angus or Aberdeen. 
This breed, so long famous for its beef-yielding properties 
and lightness of ofial, is perhaps the best of all the Scotch 
varieties, and it has deservedly risen in the estimation both of 
Scotchmen and Englishmen since that world-renowned culti- 
vator of the sort carried off the " Grand Prix" at Paris, last year, 
with a group drawn from his magnificent herd. It was a source 
of unqualified regret that the Tillyfour herd was not represented 
at this great international gathering, because, to Englishmen 
and foreigners alike, Mr. M'Combie's specimens would have 
been fraught with interest. However, notwithstanding this 
drawback, there were some highly meritorious examples of the 
breed shown. In Aged Bulls, a class which the Judges pro- 
nounced " truly magnificent," the pride of place was given to Sir 
G. Macpherson Grant, Bart., for " Young Viscount," aged 6 years, 
and bred by Mr. W. Duff, from Aberdeenshire. This bull, 
though slightly abdominous, carried a majestic head and crest, 
broad foiearm, and wide prominent bosom. His legs, too, were 
short, and his bone was remarkably fine. Some thought him a 
trifle round in his hind-quarters, but this was, I think, caused 
by the singularly massive development of his enormous rounds 
and heavily fleshed thighs. Extraordinary strength in one 
point will, I hold, often cause an adjacent part, not really
