prize for another well-made heifer of Mr. Montgomery's breed- 
ing, sired by " Statesman 2nd of Drumlanrig " (1786). She is 
well-grown and handsome, but scarcely so wide in the rib as the 
first. Messrs. Thomas Biggar and Sons obtained the second 
prize for " Caprice 3rd " (9500), a beautiful heifer, of rare 
quality and character, straight and symmetrical, and also of 
much promise. She was bred by themselves, and got by 
" Crusader" (2858). 
The Class of Yearling Heifers was equally good, and here 
again there were very close contests for all the positions. Sir 
Robert Jardine once more came to the front, curiously enough 
this time also with a heifer bred by Mr. Andrew Montgomery, 
namely, " Rose Royal," an exceptionally pretty little heifer, 
deep, thick, and symmetrical, with grand underline, just a trifle 
high at the tail-head. She was got by " Queensberry 4th " 
(1785), and promises to grow into a rare cow. Messrs. Biggar 
and Sons followed closely with " Cantatrice 4th " (10,087), 
another of " Crusader's " produce. She is quite a little beauty, 
small, but young, and almost perfect in form, with admirable 
quality and character. The third prize went to Mr. James 
Cunningham for "Violet 3rd of Tarbreoch " (9675), a thick, 
well-grown heifer of considerable substance. 
Beport hij the Judges of Galloway Cattle. 
We have to report that the handsome p"izes given by the Society have 
brought together a very fine exhibition of Galloway cattle. 
The Old Bull Class are of average merit. In the Two-year-old class the 
first and second prize animals are of exceptional merit. To the first prize 
animal in this class we awarded the Champion Prize for males. The One- 
year-old Bulls are rather an uneven lot, the first-prize animal having an 
easy victory. 
In the Female Classes we were agreeably surprised to see so many good 
animals on this side of the Border. The first-prize Cow, which is also 
Champion prize winner, is an extraordinarily good cow, and the three others 
following are really fine cows. The Two-year-old Heifers display all the 
good qualities of the breed, and were not an easy lot to place ; and the same 
remark will apply to the One-year-old Class.

Highland Cattle. 
This was perhaps the only disappointing Section in the Show. 
Two or three very good representatives of the shaggy West 
Highland race were sent by the Duke of Sutherland, but there 
were in all only eight entries of the breed. The Duke of 
Sutherland's first-prize bull, " Rob Roy," is a well-formed 
nine-year-old red, of good character, bred by Mr. D. McLaren, 
Corrychrone, Callander, and sired by "Duke of Athole." The
