542 Report on the Exhibition of Live- Stock at Newcastle. 
Report of the Judges of Sussex Cattle, 
The Eoyal Show being held in the most northern county of EnQ;land, and 
Sussex being so far south, the breed which takes its name from that county 
was not laigely represented, the distance doubtless deterring many breeders 
from entering their stock ; and the Judges express their regret at the 
smallness of the entries (in some of the classes) of this very useful breed, and 
they can but hope that the number of exhibits may increase from year to 
year. 
In Class 78, for Aged Bulls, although only three came before us, all were- 
good representatives of their respective herds ; and after careful consideration 
we awarded first prize to No. 700, a bull of great substance aud weight. The 
second prize was given to No. 699, a very short-legged bull, but not quite so 
good to handle. The reserve. No. 701, was of great size and good flesh, but 
rather too flat in his ribs. 
Class 79 again brought only three before our notice, but there was no 
difiiculty in awarding first prize to No. 705, a promising young bull from the 
well-known Lythe Hill herd. The second. No. 70-4, laWired under the dis- 
advantage of being six months younger, and we were pleased to find after- 
wards that he was sent by fresh exhibitors, the Aylesbury Dairy Company, a 
society from whom farmers hope much from the impulse they will give to 
the breeding and rearing of cattle in general. The reserve, No, 703, calls for 
no particular comment. 
Class 80. For Coivs or Heifers. — We awarded first prize to No. 707, a grand 
heifer with her first calf, showing a great deal of substance and good breeding, 
and one of the best animals of the breed exhibited. The second prize went 
to No. 712, a useful animal. 
Class 81 brought a short number. We placed No. 716 fii'st, and No. 715 
second, both being of good type, and who would doubtless have held their 
places amongst a larger number. 
Class 82 brought into the ring seven very promising young Heifers, 
and it took some time to decide as to their resjjective merits. We ultimately 
placed No. 721 first, a nice level heifer, with good quality ; No. 723 second, 
not quite so well shajjed in her rumps. The reserve went to No. 718 ; and 
we felt obliged, from their general excellence, to commend the whole class.

Red Polled Cattle. 
Thirty entries, with only two absentees, must be considered 
a creditable representation of the Red Polls of Norfolk and 
Suffolk. It is, of course, very small compared with the enormous 
display of the breed at Norwich last year. In merit, however, 
the muster was very satisfactory. 
A well-filled Class of Old Bulls was headed by Mr. J. J. 
Colman's " Don Carlos " (659), which stood second to the famous 
"Falstaff" (since sold to go to the United States for 200/.) at 
Norwich. " Don Carlos " is a very big, massive, well-propor- 
tioned animal, just a trifle light in the back-rib, but very long 
and wealthy in the frame. His breeding is as good as can be. 
He is by " King Charles " (ii29), whose sire, " Davyson 3rd,"
