the breed. Second and third prizes both went to Mons. Hector 
le Sueur, of Port-en-Bessin (who, bj the way, owned both the 
first-prize bulls just mentioned), the former being awarded to an 
animal scarcely inferior to the winner. The best of the Norman 
females was undoubtedly Mons. Ceran Maillard's heifer, twenty- 
two months old, which secured first honours ; another, sent by the 
same breeder, taking the reserve. Second and third again went 
to Mons. Hector le Sueur, for " La Barbette " and " Blondine," 
the former of which had the backbone well-developed ! 
Of Bretons, a diminutive but symmetrically-made breed, 
closely resembling the Kerries, there were only eight entries in 
the four classes. The sole representative in Bulls over Two- 
years-old was " Jobie," bred in France, but exhibited by Mr. 
Albert Dixon, of Windsor. This was a thickly made com- 
pact little fellow, with famous crops and loins, deep ribs, 
prominent rounds, broad chine, and small bone, his great fault 
being the too high setting-on of the tail, characteristic of the 
breed. " Little John," the only Yearling Bull sent, had wonder- 
fully big forequarters for one so young, being only 17^ months 
old. Mr. Albert Dixon, already mentioned, swept off all 
the prizes for Breton cows with three pretty little well-pro- 
portioned creatures, the premier one having the reputation of 
yielding 10 quarts per day of rich milk. Her bag, which was 
well-formed, looked equal to the quantity, and more. Mr. 
Ladwick's " Polly," though not allowed a prize, was a true 
specimen of the Breton. In the Heifer Class there were only 
two entries, both belonging to Mr. H. B. Spurgin, of Northamp- 
ton ; " Lady Jane," the winner, though only two years and six 
months old, being in full milk, and displaying a right good bag. 
Of " Dutch and Flemish " there was only one solitary ex- 
ample, " Prins " by name, sired by " Symen," who had the 
credit of being entered in the ' Dutch Herd-book.' Moreover, 
he was no despisable beast, having a good thick back, capital 
loins, and stood straight behind ; his pelt was, however, too 
heavy, and he was a little high above ground. 
The following is the Report of the Judges who acted in the 
foregoing Foreign Classes : — 
The Juriges in Classes Nos. 264 to 279 inclusive, beg to report tLeir regret 
that so small a number of cattle competed for the very handsome prizes 
oftered by the IMansion House Committee, in the classes on which they had 
the honour of adjudicating. They are assured that a much larger number 
would have competed, had it not been for the dread of the quarantine regula- 
tions. There were several animals of considerable merit in the Milking 
Classes, and the only comijetitor in the Foreign Shorthorn Class was a fair 
siiccimen of the breed.
