Report on the Exhihition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 545 
" Judge " (1150). Mr. Clement Stephenson's second-prize bull, 
"Evander" (3717), is a lengthy, stylish, three-year-old, of 
excellent quality, somewhat slack in the middle ; bred bv 
Sir George Macpherson Grant, Bart., of Ballindalloch, out of 
the "Erica" cow, " Evening " (4187), and got by the "Jilt" 
bull," Julius" (1819). He, too, has been in former prize-lists, 
and is also useful in the herd. The third prize went to 
Mr. Thomas Smith, Powrie, Dundee, for " Norfolk " (3082), 
a thick, deeply-fleshed, five-year-old bull, of the old Angus 
" Doddie " type, being more rounded in his points than the two 
placed before him. 
The Class of Two-year-old Bulls was fairly well filled. 
Here again Lord Tweedmouth provided the winner. His first- 
prize bull here is " Despot of Guisachan " (5289), a big, good- 
looking, nineteen-month bull, with remarkably good underline, 
and also of desirable quality, though not quite so level along 
the back as could be desired. He too was first at Aberdeen ; 
was bred by Lord Tweedmouth, got by the " Pride " bull 
" Apollo " (2456), and out of « Morcar " (6216), by the " Erica " 
bull " Ethelred " (1440). He was afterwards sold for exporta- 
tion to South America. Major H. F. Dent's second prize bull, 
" Janus," is rather older and thicker, and also well shaped, 
and carried a good deal of flesh. He was bred by Sir George 
Macpherson Grant, Bart., got by " Bushman " (2011), and 
from the "Jilt" cow "Judy" (2996). Mr. Owen C. VVallis 
followed closely with a lean, lengthy, useful-looking bull of 
nice quality, bred by Mr. Scott, of Easter TuUoch, Stonehaven, 
Kincardineshire, and got by " Davie " (2046). 
A very good Class of Yearling Bulls was headed by a very 
promising youngster shown by jNIr. Alackenzie, Dalmore, Ross- 
shire. He is handsome in form, of admirable quality and 
character, and promises to grow into a very fine sire. His 
descent is of the choicest. Bred at Ballindalloch, and got by 
the first-prize bull " Iliad " (2843), he is out of the fine " Erica " 
cow " Ella," whose sire was the Champion " Erica " bull 
" Young V iscount " (736). The Earl of Strathmbre had a very 
creditable second in "Siberian," a neat, well-made bull of con- 
siderable substance, and also of nice quality. He was bred by 
himself, out of that beautiful prize cow " Sybil 4th " (4326), 
and got by " Provost " (1259), whose dam was that famous 
"Pride" cow "Pride of Mulben " (1919), for which a good 
many years ago Sir George Macpherson Grant gave 91 guineas 
at the dispersion of the Mulben herd. The third prize went 
to Miss C. H. A. Morison Duncan, of Naughton, Fifeshire, 
for " Pride of War," a neat, plump, well-shaped bull of con- 
siderable promise, just a trifle light in the rib.
