*' Royal Ingram," was the most perfectly formed in the class. 
He is an exceedingly attractive light roan, of fine character 
and great promise. The Duke of Northumberland's third bull, 
" Hopeful," is a very straight, handsome red and Avhite, very 
good on the crops, and also likely to grow into a fine bull. At 
present he wants depth a little, but has a very good top line. 
Four Cows were entered, but only three came forward. Two 
of these, Mr. T. H. Hutchinson's " Lady Pamela " and " Glad 
Tidings," have attained great Showyard fame — first and second 
respectively at Norwich last year. The former has now for the 
third time won the Champion Prize for the best Shorthorn cow 
or heifer. As a heifer, "Lady Pamela" was a marvel. She 
has never been so likable in character as some other of the 
many choice animals which Mr. Hutchinson has brought out, 
or as some other famous Royal winners which we can recall ; 
but for width, depth, massiveness, and symmetry of carcass, she 
has rarely been equalled. She has now become patchy and 
ungainly in the hind-quarters, but in front of the hooks she is 
still matchless. In spite of the high condition in which she 
has always been kept — with little difficulty, for she has not 
always been on high feeding — she has begun well in breeding. 
Her patchy hind-quarters were strongly objected to, of course, 
by all the Judges ; but at least one of them considered this 
fault so serious that he was extremely reluctant to give her the 
distinction of Champion. " Lady Pamela " is six years old, 
was bred by Mr. Hutchinson, and got by " British Knight " 
(33,220). 
" Glad Tidings " is a very handsome seven-year-old roan, 
a little bare on the loin, but of desirable character and quality. 
Indeed we heard at least one recognised judge say he would 
have placed her at the head of the class. She too was bred by 
Mr. Hutchinson, got by " Master of Arts" (34,816), and has had 
not a few noted relations. The other cow, the Duke of Port- 
land's " Lady Ottoline," was well worthy of the third prize, if 
the regulations had permitted the Judges to award it. 
A capital Class of Three-year-old Cows or Heifers, in-Milk or 
in-Calf (thirteen entries), gave the Judges some trouble. Type 
varied considerably here, and the difficulty of making a satis- 
factory selection for the prizes was increased by the fact that 
some of the best-looking animals failed greatly in appearance 
of usefulness as breeders, and especially as milkers. In giving 
the preference to Mr. R. Thompson's extremely useful-looking 
dark roan cow, " Molly Millicent," the Judges quite carried 
public opinion with them, for practical men— and that section 
of the public who take an interest in cattle-judging are in the 
main decidedly practical — are always pleased to see utility in
