Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Wolverhampton. 51)5 
Second iivize, roan, 1 year and 10 months-old : medinni quality, witli ratlici* 
liavsh liair, fore ribs a little wanting, tail not handsomely set on, but a very 
good heifer, of great length, with a well- formed and covered back. 
Third prize, red, 1 year and 10 months-old: very good quality, frame on 
large scale and well covered, a little low in hack, horns showing want of 
charactnr. 
Fourth prize, roan, 1 year and 6 months-old : good quality and hair, a little 
light in fore quarter, and standing upon rather too long legs ; a heifer requiring 
more time, hut very ]iromising. 
A large and particularly good class, highly commended. 
Heifer Calves. — First prize, white, 10 months-old: very good quality and 
character, a well-formed frame, showing great substance and early develop- 
ment. 
Second prize, roan, 9 months-old : medium quality, great size, good form and 
appearance. 
Eeserve number, white, 9 months-old : good quality, excellent hair, rather 
low in back, but of great substance and character. 
In this class we had very considerable difficulty, owing to the large number 
and great jiromise of these as])irants to fame. 
We conclude our Eeport by observing that the heifer classes, including 
calves, were well represented, showing those characteristics of the true type 
of a Shorthorn — mellow quality, fine hair, great aptitude to grow flesh, with 
robust constitution, and good looks in a large degree ; and the same remark 
will justly apply to many of the bulls, some of which we fully expect to see 
holding still higher distinction hereafter. 
The show of Herefortls was supremely satisfactory both in 
numbers and quality. It was feared that the numerous purchases 
of young stock of this breed which took place at Oxford last year, on 
behalf of the Colonies, would cause the collection at the " Royal" 
at Wolverhampton to be both meagre and inferior. But this was 
certainly not the case, as the entries numbered 8G, and contained 
some splendid specimens of the breed, with great weight of flesh, 
combined with prime quality. Possessing as I do a great admi- 
ration for this breed of cattle, as considerable meat-producers, 
but having no special knowledge of their characteristics, I gladly 
leave a fuller description of the respective classes to be gathered 
from the Judges' Report, in which they say : — 
We heg to report that the Herefords at this meeting show to great advantage ; 
the Bull Classes were up to the average, and the females have never been 
surpassed if ever equalled at any jirevious show. 
Class 44. Mr. Warren Evans took first prize with "Monaughtj' the 3rd," 
which is a grand, long, and massive bull, with heavy flesh and first-rate cha- 
racter. Mr. P. Turner's " Bachelor" took second honours. He is symmetrical, 
with substance, hut his head is effeminate. He is the sire of " Earity," " Plum," 
and "Provost," which fact is a "feather in his cap." "Theodore" had third 
prize and is a good animal. Mr. Wall^or's " Wonder," in store condition, was 
p)laced in reserve, and is a rare stamp for stock purposes. 
Class 45. Mr. John Williams's " Eoyal Head," of fine sjTnmetry and quality, 
was placed first, and the Earl of Southesk took second prize with "Ostorius," a 
hig and good one. Mr. P. Turner's " Provost" had third prize, and he is a 
good animal, with great substance. Mr. Harding's " Nohle Boy " was the reserve
