G88 Report on the Exliihitioii of Live-Stock at Norwich. 
Meport of tlie Judges of Shorthorns. 
The show of Shorthorns, with the exception of one class, cannot, as a 
whole, be considered up to the usual Eoyal standard. Although the com- 
petition in the Old Bull Class (50) was very limited, the prize animals were 
of considerable merit. 
In Class 51, " Royal Ingram" had a very easy victory ; the competition in 
this class was also very limited. 
In Class 52 the competition was closer, but ultimately the red ribbon was 
awarded to " Golden Treasure " ; there were two or three good animals in 
this class. 
In Class 53, Mr. Handley again came to the front with his very promising 
bull " Eoyal Hovingham," while the second prize was awarded to another very 
good young bull, also bred by Mr. Handley. There was greater com^ietition 
in this class, whicli contained some other useful animals. 
The Cow Class (54), although few in number, contained some very fine 
specimens of the breed, and we had little difficulty in coming to a decision. 
There was also but little competition in Class 55, and beyond the first- 
prize animal there was nothing of very great merit ; but the competition 
being so close between Nos. 536 and 539, we recommended that a third prize 
should be given. 
Class 56 was far away the best class among the Shorthorns, containing a 
larger number of animals of very considerable merit. The competition was 
very close between two or three of the prize-winners, and it has been but 
seldom that better animals have been seen in our Showyards. 
Class 57, although larger in numbers, with one or two exceptions were not 
of that merit which one expects to see in a Royal Showyard. 
The Champion Prize for the best male was awarded to the well-known 
bull " Royal Ingram." 
The Champion Prize for the best female was awarded to " Lady Pamela," a 
fine specimen of a Shorthorn cow. 
We conclude our Report by acknowledging with our best thanks the able 
assistance which was rendered to us by the Steward of our department.

It was as much a source of surprise as of pleasure to find the 
" white faces " in such grand form, and in such force. The 
addition of classes to the prize list may have put the West 
countrymen on their mettle to endeavour to make a suitable 
response to the liberality and sense of justice exhibited by the 
Council, or they may have been influenced by the desire to 
give the cattle graziers of the Eastern Counties a gentle 
reminder of the extraordinary aptitude of their stock to lay 
on flesh under generous treatment. 
If these were some of the objects of the breeders of Herefords, 
their efforts were attended with complete success. The display 
was one which will be remembered and quoted for many a long 
year. 
As justly remarked by the Judges, one or two of the Classes
