Report on the British and Foreign Cattle 
Passing over the Swiss, Spanish, and Portuguese Classes, 
which held no entries, I come to the Angelns, a breed display- 
ing a great length of outline, with a curious, plentiful develop- 
ment of useless skin along the under-side of the neck ; their 
weak point being a too general lowness of the back. The 
first-prize Aged Bull, " Garibaldi 2nd," carried a fine masculine 
head and well-arched crest, with broad loins and crops ; while 
the second, though long drawn, was low in the back, and some- 
what flat-ribbed. The third, though deep in the ribs, was 
beaten on account of his rough shoulders. The best of the 
bulls was the winning Yearling, which was well-topped, and 
much neater about the rumps than the older males. In Cows I 
thought the first and second prizes might have been reversed. 
Perhaps the Judges did not make allowance for the thin con- 
dition and evident deep-milking qualities of the latter, whose 
excellent bag and docile expression were very taking. This 
brings me to the Jutlanders, a breed closely resembling our 
Ayrshires, and undoubtedly the best of the foreign cattle at 
Kilburn. A very competent authority informed me that 300 
to 400 head of them are landed at Deptford weekly, averaging 
100 to 120 stones a-piece (8 lbs. to the stone), and are well 
thought of by the butchers. Barring an evident tendency to be 
abdominous and flat-sided, these are useful cattle ; their mellow 
touch, fine bone, short legs, and (in the cows) their abundant 
udders, being valuable points in any breed. The first- and third- 
prize Aged Bulls were exhibited by Johannes Ingwersen, of 
Hegnet, Jutland. The former was a very fair beast, having 
good crops and loins, deep sides, heavy flank, long quarters, 
capital twist, and tail better placed than is commonly the case 
in this breed. The second prize was given to Mr. A. W. Knuth, 
for " No. 1," a black-and-white bull, with the paunchy flat-sided 
form already complained of, but showing deep ribs, massive 
frame, and plain rumps. The "reserve" might, to my minti, 
have been placed higher. He displayed a well-covered back, 
deep ribs, lengthy quarters, thick massive thighs, well-fleshed 
to the very hock ; but he, too, was pot-bellied, and rough about 
the shoulders. The first-prize Yearling Bull, with large loins, 
ribs a trifle flat, and ill-fitting tail, bore a marked resem- 
blance to a moderate Ayrshire. In Cows the first ticket went 
to P. C. Jensen for a very pretty specimen, just being photo- 
graphed as I passed. She was of mellow touch and deep- 
sided, with a tendency to flatness in the sides. The second 
cow had much to recommend her, a bountiful udder being not 
the least of her attractions. Jutland Heifers, in-Calf or in- 
Milk, were five in number, but they did not seem to require 
special mention.
