570 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Birmingham. 
discriminate between their respective merits and those of the chief 
winner. But it will be seen bj the Judges" Report that they 
regarded with still greater approbation Classes 61 and 62, con- 
taining the two-year-old and yearling bulls. Lord Falmouth's 
splendid quartette in these lots, two of whom secured first and 
second prize in the former, and the others second and Reserve in 
the latter, were all neatly modelled and of rare quality. Another 
choice animal was Mr. W. Farthing's first-prize " Master James," 
who would be almost faultless if a little better shaped behind — 
a remark almost equally applicable to Mrs. Langdon's " Duke of 
Flitton 12th,"' a bull of exceedingly nice character and pleasing 
style. Amongst the bull-calves was one very promising and 
meritorious, exhibited by Her Majesty, to whom the Reserve and 
a high commendation were given. Mr. Farthing's calves took 
the prizes, thereby conquering Mrs. Langdon's " Duke of Flit- 
ton 13th, ' who had previously beaten them at Tiverton and Here- 
ford. This class, too, was undoubtedly remarkably good. 
Quite an embarras de ricliesse presented itself with the cows, who 
were the pink of perfection, such as would scarcely be matched 
again, taking the entire West country through. First came Mr. 
Farthing's " Pretty Face," with grand shoulders, middle, and 
flank, and a sweetly modelled form almost resembling that of a 
Leicester sheep. Second to her was placed Mrs. Langdon s 
beautiful " Actress 2nd," which well displayed the North Devon 
quality. Mr. W. Perry had two beautiful cows, " Dairy Maid "' 
and " Camellia," both of which have often conquered in Western 
fields ; and the splendid collection also comprehended Mr. 
Trevor Lee Senior's " Moss Rose 1st," Sir Alexander A. Hood"s 
" Lovely," and a very thick, compact, wealthy young cow, be- 
longing to Major Buller, all of whom received notice from the 
Judges. 
Her Majest_j the Queen won second and third prizes in the 
two-jear-old heifer class with two beauties, "Florence" and 
" Alice ;" the latter very pretty and possessing sweet style, but 
the former having the most charming model, with a prominent 
feature in delicately-tapering waxy horns. Rut there was a 
better in the class than either in Mrs. Langdon's really superb 
" Actress 8th," who excels very much in form and quality. The 
prize-animals in the yearling heifer class, belonging to Mr. 
Farthing, Mr. George Turner, and Major Buller, were rarities 
in refined quality and admirable contour, on which any artistic 
Devonian eye might feast. But in the highly commended 
" Picotee 1st," and the commended " Miss Boscawen " and " Miss 
Ethel " — belonging to Mr. Trevor Lee Senior, Mr. W. Smith, 
and Sir A. Hood — there would have been a good representation 
to give credit to the class had the prize-winners been absent.
