matched. The reserved bull, " Tempter 2nd," shown by Mr. J. 
Walter, is very promising. The first and second-prize cows 
have often competed against each other with varying success ; 
but, at the present time, Mr. A. C. Skinner's " Moss Rose 8th " 
is certainly the superior of Mr. John Howse's " Daisy 4th," 
which was suckling a beautiful little calf. Considerable sur- 
prise was expressed at the decisions of the Judges in the Class 
for Heifer Calves, most of those looking on considering that at 
least three better heifers were exhibited than those to which the 
prizes were awarded. 
Report of the Judges of Devons. 
The Devon cattle were small in number, and, taken as a \Yl3ole, we con- 
sider that the various classes were not equal in merit to those exhibited in 
previous years. There were, nevertheless, some good animals in the Bull 
Classes and also in the Cow Class ; but in the Young ITei/er Class there were 
some very nice and promising animals which may probably be heard of at 
some futiure day. H. W. Keaey.

It appears to be generally admitted that the improvement 
made during the last ten or fifteen years in this most useful 
variety of cattle has been very considerable. The quality has 
been much improved, and the fattening properties increased, 
whilst the general-utility points have not been neglected. The 
result is one of which the breeders of Sussex cattle may justly 
be proud, as was also the display at Norwich. In the Aged Bull 
Class, Mr. J. S. Hodgson had no difficulty in securing the first 
prize by the aid of " Prince Rufus," a bull of fine quality, great 
arms, thighs, and substance generally. He occupied a similar 
position at the Preston Royal. The second-prize bull, the pro- 
perty of Mr. J. Goodman, appeared a trifle low in the back. 
With this exception, but little fault could be found with him. 
Mr. W. S. Forster's " Mikado," a very level straight-topped 
bull, with rather a hard touch, was reserved and highly com- 
mended. The first-prize young bull, shown and bred by the 
Earl of Winterton, fully deserved his position, being a most 
promising youngster. As the Judges remark, the others in this 
class were scarcely so good as were the cows and the two-year- 
old and yearling heifers. In these classes Mr. W. B. Waterlow 
was very successful, taking not only first and second prizes in 
the Cow Class, but also the first prize in the Class for Two- 
year-old Heifers. The first-prize cow, " Old Mayflower 4th," 
was a splendid specimen of the breed, as level as a die, and 
possessing the quality of a Devon. " Confidence," the cow
