C90 Report on the Exhibition of Live- Stock at Norwich. 
The Council of the Hereford Herd Book Society offered 
prizes of the value of 20/. and 10/. for the best Yearling Bull 
and pair of Yearling Heifers. This caused a most interesting 
competition ; but it might perhaps be rendered still more so, 
if it were stipulated that the three animals should be by the 
same sire. The change would bring out the impressiveness of 
the sire, which is a quality most marked in Hereford bulls. 
Beport of the Judges of Herefords. 
Class 58. — No. 578 is an extraordinary good animal; No. 577 but little 
inferior, and well deserving of a second prize. 
Class 59. — No. 584 stands out a good first ; No. 587 is second, a big fleshy 
animal, closely run by No. 586. 
Class 60. — In a numerous class, No. 594 is a very promising bull, well 
deserving first honours. 
Class 61. — The Yearling Bulls were in strong force. No. 602 stood first, 
closely followed by No. 600 and 599, both good animals ; the Reserve, 
No. 609, is of very good quality but lacks size. 
Class 62. — A cow of beautiful quality. No. 624, was first ; No. 621, a grand 
cow with great substance, being second ; No. 618, another very fine cow, but 
rather deficient in the thigh, being third. 
Class 63. — Though but two Hci/ers were shown in this class, we recom- 
mended the second prize being awarded, as both animals are of such great 
merit that we could not expect them to be excelled. 
Class 64. — We could not do less than commend the whole of this class, 
the three prize-takers being of unusual excellence. 
Class 65. — Does not call for any special comment. 
Class 66. — A large entry of superior animals well representing the breed. 
Considering the great distance at which the Show was held from the home 
of the white faces, we considered tb.em well represented. In some of the classes 
the entries were few, but the specimens are of great merit.

No one looked for a very large entry of these old favourites, 
yet one could not feel quite satisfied with only 28 entries in five 
classes. Nor did the decisions of the Judges appear to give 
complete satisfaction. Complaints were made that, in awarding 
the prizes, no particular type or style of animal was adhered to ; 
this was noticeable in the Class for Old Bulls, where the first 
prize was awarded to a neat, compact, fine-quality bull, shown 
by Mr. J. Walter ; and the second to Mr. Skinner's " Lord 
Cutsay 2nd," a bull of quite a different character, whilst they 
reserved the same owner's " General Gordon," which seemed to 
be, and if previous preferences may be considered, was, the best 
Bull in the Class. The Yearling Bulls, " Ferryman," the 
property of Sir W. Williams, and " Duke of Pound 10th," 
belonging to Mr. A. C. Skinner, appeared to be very equally
