532 Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 
and attractive character, but not well formed behind. He won 
third prize at Reading this year, was bred by Mr. E. Pease, 
of the Crundalls, Bewdley, Worcestershire, and got by " Earl 
of Aylesby 4th" (46,291). Some onlookers would have pre- 
ferred the reserve bull " MacBeath," a big massive red with a 
little white, shown and bred by Mr, James A. Gordon, of 
Arabella, Ross-shire, got by " Macgregor " (50,001), and out 
of " Bessie Belle," by the 400-guinea prize bull " Rosario " 
(35,315), son of the famous "Duke of Aosta," which fought 
many battles successfully with " Sir Arthur Ingram " and other 
notable Showyard heroes. " MacBeath " is well formed on a 
big scale, and carries a great amount of flesh for his age, but is 
a trifle plain in his head, and otherwise not perfect in character. 
He was purchased by Mr. Handley, and may probably take a 
higher place in future English shows. Other three very good 
bulls received recognition from the Judges, namely, ^Ir. A. 
Metcalf-Gibson's " Royal Arthur " (53,570) ; Mr. R. Thompson's 
" Master Shapely," and Messrs. Hosken and Son's " Marquis of 
Bute." 
The Class of Yearling Bulls, with twenty-four entries, was 
not only large, but of high merit. Mr. Handley again had a clear 
enough winner, and rarely, if ever, have so many bulls of such 
merit as he exhibited at Newcastle been seen in the possession 
of one breeder — three first-prize winners of his own breeding, 
one of these being the Champion bull of the breed, another 
marked as the " reserve " for the Champion Prize, while the 
third was followed closely in his class by another bull of Mr. 
Handley's breeding. Upon this wonderful achievement Mr. 
Handley is to be congratulated. " Golden Hind," his first- 
prize yearling, is a very handsome light roan, straight and well 
balanced in form, and admirably fleshed. He was bred by 
Mr. Handley, got by the Royal prize bull " Self Esteem 2nd " 
(48,675), and out of that grand cow, " Princess Flora " (by 
" Alfred the Great" (36,121) ), the dam likewise of "Gold- 
finder," " Golddigger," and " Golden Measure," alF of them 
first prize national winners. This rare cow is, we believe, a 
grand milker. Mr. Handley says she has been " constantly 
in milk for upwards of five years, and when newly calved 
gives twenty quarts of milk daily." " Golden Hind " was 
purchased at a long price by Mr. D. McLennan for exportation 
to South America, We much regret to lose such valuable 
young sires, for from a bull of such high merit, and from such a 
grand cow as " Princess Flora," some good stock might be 
expected. But foreign gold is all powerful. 
Mr. Anthony Metcalfe-Gibson's second-prize yearling bull 
" Royal Dalesman," bred by himself, and got by Mr. Handley's
