Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 541 
Sussex Cattle. 
Of this verv useful and rising breed there was a small but 
creditable display. As yet the breed is confined mainly to the 
southern county from which it takes its name, so that in the 
extreme north of England a large collection could not have 
been expected. 
Only three Bulls appeared in the Class for Two, Three, Four, 
and Five-vear-olds, but these were of satisfactory merit. Mr. 
Joseph Godman, Park Hatch, Godalming;, came first with 
" Xobleman " (707), a big, massive, three-year-old, of great 
substance, very long in the frame, and well fleshed ; bred by 
himself, and got by " Xapoleon 3rd " (396 ). Mr. \V. S. Forster 
got the second prize for " Mikado" (705), a thick, short-legged, 
three- vear-old, slightly wanting in quality, bred by Mr. A. 
Holmes, Rve, and got by "Steyning" (729), a son of the famous 
" Goldsmith" (391). 
Again, in the \ earling Bull Class onlv three animals came 
forward. Mr. Stewart Hodgson had a good winner here in 
a verv useful bull of nice character and quality, bred bv himself, 
and got by "Frankfort" (671). The Avlesburv Dairy Com- 
pany's second-prize bull, " March," is seven months younger 
than the one placed before him, but although he is therefore 
small, he is verv neat and promising. 
There was a larger and stronger Class of Cows or Heifers in 
Calf or in-Milk. The first prize went to Mr. W. Blanford 
Waterlow, of High Trees, Redhill, for " Elsa," a well-formed 
three-year-old cow, fine in the bone, of good svmmetry, and 
well fleshed, but a little short in the hind-quarters ; bred by 
himself, and got by " Wallace " (478). Mr. J. Stewart Hodg- 
son's second cow, '• Laura 7th," is a big, useful animal, slightly 
weak in the loin, bred bv himself, and got bv " Lord Oxford" 
(461). 
Two-year-old Heifers were few in number, only four having 
been entered, but the two prize-winners showed high merit. 
Mr. Joseph Godman's first is " ZSoble Lady 2nd," a handsome, 
well-shaped heifer, with verv good underline, but just a little 
light in the fore-rib ; bred by himself, and got by " Goldboy " 
(541). Mr. W . S. Forster's second heifer, " Glory," is smaller, 
but neater : bred by himself, and got by " !Mabel Bull." 
A large and very good Class of Yearling Heifers was headed 
by a very straight stylish heifer of much promise ; shown and 
bred by Mr. W. S. Forster, and got bv "Mikado " (705). Mr. 
Joseph Godman's second, "Comely 9th ' (3683), is also 
a very promising heifer, but not so very neat in her hind- 
quarters.
