Jlejwl on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 547 
No animal in the Section showed better character or more 
promise than the second-prize yearling heifer exhibited by 
Mr. George Smith Grant, Auchorachan, Glenlivet. She is 
lean in condition, but is admirably formed, and looks like 
growing into a fine cow. 
Beport of the Judges of Polled Aberdeen-Angus Cattle. 
Class 88. Aged Bulls. — This was a good class all over, the first-prize 
bull being an animal of great style and substance for his age ; the other prize 
animals being of considerable merit. 
Class 89. Two-year-old Bulls. — Though a creditable lot, these were not 
up to the excellence of the aged bulls. 
Class dO— Yearling Bulls were a very good lot, exhibiting style and 
tone of high breeding, es25ecially the placed animals. 
Class 91 — Cows were an exceptionally good lot. Any of the ticketed 
animals would make a creditable first in any Showyard. 
Class ^2— Two-year-old Heifers lacked the merit of the former class. 
Class 93 — -One-year-old Heifers were numerous and very gool. So 
much so, that in this class was found the Champion of the Show for the 
best Female.

Galloway Cattle. 
The display of Galloway cattle was undoubtedly the best ever 
seen in an English Showyard. There were sixty-five entries, and 
very few of the stalls were empty. The Cow and Heifer classes 
were exceptionally strong, and at the parades these classes were 
conspicuous for the depth, thickness, and symmetry of the 
animals. The breeders of Galloway cattle are indeed to be 
congratulated upon the excellent appearance made by their fine 
beef-producing stock. 
The Class of Adult Bulls, with ten entries, was well filled, 
being quite up to the average of leading Scotch Shows in merit. 
All the prize animals showed much excellence. The Duke of 
Buccleuch and Queensberry took the lead with " Kinsman 2nd 
of Drumlanrig " (1790), the fourth-prize winner at the Dumfries 
Highland Show last year. He was bred by his noble owner, 
and got by " Harden 2nd " (1458), and is a big, handsome, 
good-looking five-year-old, carrying a good deal of flesh. 
Mr. James Cunningham's second bull, "Lucky Times" (3058), 
is a thick, well-formed, four-year-old, with less of the charac- 
teristic Galloway hair, good on the crops, but not quite even in 
flesh. He was bred by Mr. R. Webster, Airds, New Galloway 
Station, Kirkcudbright, and got by "Spring" (1582). The 
third prize went to Messrs. P. Morton and Sons, of Pedderhill, 
for " Canny Scot of Kirkhill," a big, level, deep-bodied four-year- 
old bull of a thoroughly useful stamp.
