Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 531 
Abbey bull " Prince of Halnaby " (53,464), which won for Mr. 
Williams, of Moor Park, Harrogate, the first prize at Norwich 
last year, had to be contented with the " reserve " ticket on this 
occasion. He has not filled out sufficiently well, but shows 
desirable character and quality. 
The Class of Three-year-old Bulls, in which there were eight 
entries, was disappointing. Mr, James McWilliam's " Royal 
Victor" (52,068), from the north-east of Scotland, was the only 
bull in the class whose character was desirable ; but he lacks 
filling out, and is deficient in the hind-quarters, so that at least 
one of the Judges objected strongly to him. He would have 
been a popular first. He was bred by the Duke of Northum- 
berland, got by the Warlaby bull " Eastern Emperor (44,7<i3), 
and out of a sister of his Grace's prize cow at the Preston Royal 
Show. Mr. John Game's first-prize bull, " Baronet," is cer- 
tainly much thicker, and carries a great deal more meat ; but he 
is very rough in the hind-quarters, ungainly in character, and a 
good deal out of form. Mr. Louis Ponsonby, Tring, got the 
third prize for " Prince Arthur " (51,869), a straight, lengthy 
white, somewhat out of form. 
Two-year-old Bulls made a much stronger class. There were 
I a dozen entries, and all the prizes went to good animals. Mr. 
I Handley's " Ingram's Fame " (53,026) was a clear first, and 
I was also rightly enough awarded the Special prize for the best 
I Shorthorn bull in the Yard. Got by " Royal Ingram," and out 
of " Anemone 2nd " by " Sir Arthur Ingram," he thus inherits 
a double share of the blood of the last-named bull, which was 
not only a noted prize-winner, but also an excellent stock-getter. 
" Ingram's Fame," like his sire, is red and white in colour, and 
is similar to his sire in form ; but while he is quite as well 
furnished with lean meat, very evenly laid on, he is better 
balanced in the frame, being deep behind, and altogether a 
right good stamp of a bull. He was sold at a long price to go 
to South America. 
I The selection of the other prize bulls gave the Judges a good 
deal of trouble. " Chief Justice," the property of Mr. John 
Vickers, is considerably younger than the others, but he is 
a straight level red of excellent quality and character, and no 
one grudged him the second place. He was bred by Mr. 
Vickers, got by Mr. Handley's " Ingram's Chief" (51,423), and 
out of " Purity," by that big massive white bull, " Duke of 
Howl John," which won the first prize at the Carlisle Royal 
in 1880. " Chief Justice " has been sold to Mr. Handley, 
who passes " Royal Ingram " to Mr. Vickers. Mr. A. L. 
Duncan, of Knossington Grange, Oakham, got the third prize 
for " Melton," a thick massive roan, with very good fore-rib,
