512 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Hull. 
Class 33. Heifers under Three Years old. — A remarkably fine class. We 
commended the whole class, and difficulty was felt in awarding the prizes. 
Class 34. Heifers under Tuv Tears old. — Also a very strong class; a great 
many fine animals in it. 
Classes 32, 33, and 34 were the best of all the classes. 
Class 35. Heifer Calves. — Also a good class. 
Class 28 having been collected in the judging ring, one of 
the Judges, on referring to his book containing the numbers and 
ages of the animals brought into competition, refused to judge 
No, 293, on the ground that the age there given him did not 
agree with the age at which the same bull had been entered last 
year at the Blackburn Show of the Blackburn and East Lan- 
cashire Agricultural Society, at the Lancaster Show of the 
Royal North Lancashire Agricultural Society, and at the Show 
of the Keighley Agricultural Society. The bull having been 
ordered out of the ring, with the reluctant consent of the 
Stewards, the judging was proceeded with in his absence ; but 
the awards of prizes were not completed by the signature of the 
Judges being attached until after the Council had had an oppor- 
tunity of deciding upon the propriety of the course pursued. 
This opportunity was afforded on the following day ; and the 
Council decided that, before completing their awards, the 
Judges were bound to reinspect the whole class, and award such 
distinction or prize to No. 293 as his merits should entitle him 
to receive. The second judgment did not, however, alter the 
decisions arrived at on the previous day : and as the whole 
subject has been referred by the Council to a special Committee, 
it would be premature to discuss the merits of the case in this 
Report. 
The Judges of Herefords and Devons were Mr. Greenslade, 
of Romansleigh, South Molton ; Mr. Haywood, of Blakemere 
House, Hereford ; and Mr. Hall Keary, of Aldenham, Bridg- 
north, who report as follows : — 
Although the show of Herefords is not equal on this occasion, either as 
regards number or quality generally, to what it was both at Cardiff and 
Wolverhampton, yet, considering the great distance from their native district, 
we consider the exhibition to be on the whole fairly satisfactory. 
Class 36. — No. 442, first prize, and No. 443, second prize ; both possess 
good character and symmetry, with deep flesh ; the first-prize animal being 
remarkable for length and great substance throughout. 
Class 37. — In this class only three competed, none in their present state 
possessing superior merit, although they are all good stock animals. 
Class 38. — Seven entered the ring in this class, and, in consequence of 
their not being up to the usual standard, we had considerable difficulty in 
satisfying ourselves in making our awards. We consider the prize-takers 
possess scale with a good character. 
Class 39. — This was a very fair class. No. 458, first prize, has great 
length, good outline, and bloodlike character; whilst No. 464, second prize, 
has good substance, but is somewhat deficient in touch.
