Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 537 
buJls in the Show. He is a little high at the tail-head, and 
might be better in the fore-rib, but he is big, thick, and massive, 
remarkablv well developed in the loins, heavily fleshed, and of 
desirable character. He has won numerous prizes, including 
the first at Xorwich last year, and would be hard to beat amongst 
animals of his age. He was bred by his owner, and got by 
" Regal " (9121), from " Rhea " by " Romulus " (5542). Mr. A 
E. Hughes, of Wintercott, had a creditable second in " Pirate " 
(11,531), a lengthy, well-shaped bull, of nice character and 
quality, just a trifle light in the thighs and flank. He was bred 
by Mr. Hughes, got by " Garfield 2nd " (7648), and out of 
« Purity by " Royalist " (4921). The Earl of Coventry showed 
two very good bulls here, which stood respectively third and 
" reserve." 
The Class of Yearling Bulls was of similar size and character. 
Mr. A. P. Turner, Pembridge, won the first prize for " Tarquin," 
a very deep, thick bull of a very useful stamp, heavy, but not 
quite even in flesh, with good neck and countenance. He was 
bred by Mr. Turner, got by "Sir Edward" (10,631), and out 
of " Kathleen '" by the famous high-priced bull, " The Grove 
3rd" (5051). The second-prize bull, "Alton," shown and 
bred by Mr. John Tudge, of Alton Court, is good in some 
points, rather attractive in the ring, but somewhat deficient in 
flesh and substance. He was got by " Leinthal " (8601), and 
out of " Coral " by " Marechal Niel " (4760). Some would have 
preferred the Earl of Coventrv's third bull, " Golden Miner," 
a lengthy, well-formed bull, slightly light in the fore flank, but 
very good over the crops. 
As with Bulls, Cows of three years were classed with their 
seniors, and this mixing of youth and maturity made the duties 
of the Judges still more onerous. Ten entries with some 
absentees made up a strong Class of Cows. Mr. H. W. Taylor's 
" Gem " is aptly named. She is very handsome in form, 
thick, short in the leg, true in symmetry, and of fair size for a 
three-year-old. She is admirably ribbed, and thick in the 
flesh, and although there were bigger cows in the class, her 
victory was generally approved. She was bred by ]Mr. Taylor, 
got by "Franklin" (6961), and out of the fine cow " Modesty," 
by "Tredegar" (5077), so that she comes from prize-taking 
parents. Sir Joseph L. E. Spearman followed with " Myrtle 
6th," a big, massive, well-shaped seven-year-old cow, very good 
over the crops, and well developed in the underline. Mr. A. E. 
Hughes came third with his well-known prize cow, " Sun- 
flower," which in her younger years was very difficult to beat. 
Two-year-old Heifers, of which nine were entered, made an 
exceedingly strong Class, all the ticketed animals showing
