of their dream," and Longhorns, instead of being thrown in with 
other breeds of not sufficient importance for rewards of their own, 
found classes set apart specially for them. They appear to have 
responded well to the Society's call to the listed field, and we 
find Lieutenant-Colonel Inge winning the first prize of \bl. 
for his 4 years and 6 months old bull, " Tom," bred by him- 
self, and got by " Duke " out of " Treasure Trove ;" second, was 
Mr. William Thomas Cox, the Hall, Spondon, who took 5?. for 
his 3 years and 5 months old bull, " Isaac," by " Conqueror," out 
of " Beauty," bred by himself. 
The first prize in the next class went to alien soil, as Mr. 
James Davis, Melcombe Honey, Dorchester, earned 10/. for his 
1 year and 3 months old bull, bred by Mr. Joseph Holland, of 
The Chase, Kenilworth ; second to him was Mr. Edward Thorn- 
ton, of Twycross, Canley, who took bl. for his 1 year and 3 
months bull, bred by himself ; the reserved number being Mr, 
W. T. Cox's 1-year-old "Charlie," by "Isaac," dam, "Lively," 
bred by himself. Amongst the cows, Mr. Richard Warner, of 
Weston Hill, Nuneaton, carried off the first prize of lOZ., with 
his 7-year-old " Lupin," bred by himself ; and Lieut.-Colonel 
Inge the second of 5/., with the 9-year-old " Fillpail," bred by 
Mrs. Baker, of Barton-on-the-Heath, Oxfordshire ; and the 
reserved number was Mr. E. T. Twycross's cow, bred by him- 
self. In the class for heifers, jNIr. R. H. Chapman was first, 
taking 101. for his " Young Cumberland," 2 years and 3 months, 
by " Lord Westmorland " out of " Cumberland," bred by him- 
self. In the next class, Mr. J. H. Burberry, The Chase, 
Kenilworth, was first and second, with his 2 years and 10 months 
heifer, and 1 year and 3 months heifer, both bred by himself — 
taking 10/. and bl. respectively ; Mr. R. H. Chapman getting 
the reserved place with " Lady Nugent," by " Lord Westmor-

In 1863, at Worcester, there was only one Longhorn in the prize- 
list, and that was Mr. James Davis's bull, 2 years and 2 months 
old, which won in the open class, beating Welsh, Channel Island, 
and other bulls. He was bred by Mr. J. H. Burberry. There 
was not a single entry in the prize-list at Newcastle in 1864, as 
far as Longhorns are concerned, but Mr. R. H. Chapman carried 
off the 15/. prize at Plymouth in 1865, with " Old Sparkenhoe,"
