696 Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Norwich. 
front of Mr. T. H. Hyde's " Dog Fox," a bull which greatly dis- 
tinguished himself at Portsmouth, where he not only won the first 
but also the Champion prize. This, however, was in the absence 
of " Royal Blue." Four other bulls were highly commended, 
and the same number commended. The entries in the Class for 
Young Bulls numbered thirty-one. The general merit was not 
perhaps quite equal to that of the bulls in the previous class. A 
difference of opinion appeared to exist amongst the onlookers as 
to the merits of the first-prize winner, Mr. W. Arkwright's " Scars- 
dale Astronomer Royal " (what a name !) and Mr. H. J. 
Cornish's " Brilliant." The latter won first prizes both at 
Portsmouth and at the Bath and West of England. It is a 
noticeable circumstance that all the prize-winners in the Classes 
for Bulls were imported. 
The show of Cows was a grand one. It was indeed a treat 
to see them paraded in the large ring, so handsome and so 
gentle. By the way, how is it that the Jersey females are so 
docile, whilst the males (even the bull calves) are so fiery and 
fierce? Mr. H. J. Cornish's " Bragga " and Mr. J. Blyth's 
" Rosy " appeared to be very evenly matched ; the style of the 
latter had to give way to the greater milking capabilities of the 
former. Nearly half of the fourteen entries in Class 93 were 
absent. The Two-year-old Heifers were numerous, but it will 
be observed that the Judges deemed it their duty to call atten- 
tion to a serious deficiency in the development of the fore- 
quarters of the udders of several of the heifers. This is a very 
important point in animals which are most highly prized for 
their dairying properties and for their beauty ; nothing detracts 
more from the appearance of a milch-cow than a faulty udder. 
Of the thirty-nine Yearlings entered, all but two were sent, and 
amongst them were many very pretty little animals ; but here 
again the Judges noticed several with ill-shaped udders. This 
caused some otherwise promising heifers to lose the position in 
the prize-list to which they might otherwise have been entitled. 
Besides awarding the three prizes the Judges distributed twelve 
high commendations and commendations, so that, with all their 
faults, the yearling heifers deserving of recognition were some- 
what numerous. 
Guernseys. 
Increased attention has been called to this most valuable 
milking variety of cattle by the formation of a herd-book for the 
registration of pedigrees. A marked improvement is already 
noticeable in the quality and style, as well as a great increase in
