534 Report on the Exhibition of Live- Stock at Newcastle. 
the ascendant. " Mollv Miliicent " is one of manv excellent 
Shorthorns of a thoroughly useful type, which have in recent 
years come out from the Ingle wood herd. She was bred by 
Mr. Thompson, and got by his prize bull, "Beau Benedict" 
(42,769). She is well formed, level in the flesh, large in scale, 
and displays a rare udder. In character she is not so attractive 
as critics might wish, yet by some good judges she would have 
been preferred to " Lady Pamela " for the Champion prize. 
A roan heifer, of an exceptionally good type, took the second 
place. This is ^lessrs. Hosken and Son's " Alexandrina 9th," 
a handsome well-haired heifer, of fine character, and much pro- 
mise ; winner of the second prize at Norwich last year. She is 
just a trifle light in the fore-rib, and might be better in the 
loin ; but she is very good in the underline, and gains upon one 
on close inspection. She was bred by her owners, who have 
brought out many first-class Shorthorns, and got by " Grand 
Duke of Oxford 5th" (43,318). Mr. John Game's famous 
prize-winning white, " Petted Pansy," was a popular third. 
She was truer in symmetry than any of the others, and carried 
a great deal of excellent meat ; and if she had shown more ap- 
pearance of udder, she could scarcely have been denied even a 
higher place. She was bred by her owner, and got by " Prince 
Frogmore Seal" (48,488). The Rev. Mr. Bruce Kennard's 
" Queen of the Isles" — first at Norwich last year — has fought 
many a battle with " Petted Pansy," and has often beaten her. 
Now the former is losing symmetry, being exceptionally wide 
and full along the top line, and rather light below. Still she is 
a big, massive heifer, with many good points. If she should 
breed, and develop a good udder, she would again be formidable 
in the Showyard. She was marked as the " reserve " here ; was 
bred by her owner, got by "Montrose" (45,261) from the 
famous " Queen Mary " strain. The Judges considered the 
others so good that they commended the whole Class. 
There were exactly the same number of entries (thirteen) of 
Two-year-old Heifers, and the Class, as a whole, was quite 
as strong in merit. " Whole Class commended " is the verdict 
of the Judges. As at Norwich last year, Mr. David Pugh, M.P., 
of Manoravon, took the lead with " Zoe 5th," a very stylish 
roan, of excellent character. When standing, she seemed a 
trifle low in the loin, but she is not really weak there ; and 
her wonderful gaiety, wide, round rib, level flesh and choice 
cjuality, carried her easily enough into the highest position in 
the Class. Indeed, she made a very close run for the Champion 
Prize, which, we believe, at least one of the Judges felt strongly 
inclined to award to her — a decision which we think he could 
have well enough defended. She looked well in the judging-
