Report on the Exliihition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 553 
This improvement has perhaps never been so well manifested 
as at Newcastle, where home-bred Jerseys held their own very 
creditably. There were 101 entries of the breed. Of the 
twenty-one prizes awarded, English-bred cattle won ten — four 
first, three second, and three third prizes. In competition with 
the finest animals the Island could produce, this record is by no 
means discouraging to English breeders. 
Of the fifteen Adult Bulls entered, only one was absent, and the 
class as a whole was exceeding good. Once again ]Mr. S. H. 
Hyde's famous " Dog Fox " came to the front. He is a beautiful 
three-year-old silver grey, unusually handsome in form and of de- 
sirable character and quality ; not so rich in colour as some of the 
others, yet upon the whole an admirable stamp of a Jersey sire. 
He was bred by the late Mr. Cardus, Southampton, in whose 
herd there was some choice material. His sire was " Baron 
Lionel" (994), and his dam "Vixen" by " Dairy King" (211). 
He was third at the Norwich Royal last year, but has been 
Champion at other leading Shows. The Hon. C. R. G. VV. 
Bampfylde's " St. Mary's King," which was second at 
Norwich last year, again occupied that position. He too is 
handsomely made, shows nice quality and is richer in colour 
than " Dog Fox ; " indeed it was almost a " toss up " between the 
two. " St. Mary's King " is also four years old, was bred by 
Mrs. Jean Carabin, St. Mary's, Jersey, and got by "Augurez 
King "(1317) E.H.B. The third prize went to the Duke of 
Portland for the handsome three-year -old dark grey bull " Fun," 
bred by Mr. George Simpson, of VVray Park, Reigate, and got bv 
" Farmer's Joy " (1075) E. H. B. 
The Class of Yearling Bulls was still larger, and also of high 
merit. Mr. P. H. Fowler had a very good first in " Blue 
Khedive " (956), J. H. B., bred by Mr. Le Brocq, St. Ouens, 
Jersey. He is big, straight, handsome, stylish, and rich in 
colour, but just a trifle " throaty." The second prize went to 
Mr. H. J. Cornish (who has owned some of the choicest Jerseys 
ever seen in England) for " Bendigo " (895;, J. H. B., bred 
by Mr. F. Le Brocq, St. Peter's, Jersey, and own brother to 
Mr. James Blyth's beautiful prize-cow, " Perry Farm Deery." 
About a dozen excellent Dairy-cows competed in the Class 
for Cows Four-years-old or upwards, in-milk or in-calf. The 
first prize went to that most useful cow, " Bragga," the property 
of Mr. H. J. Cornish, and the winner of numerous prizes, 
including first at Norwich last year. She is six years old, 
was bred in Jersey by Mr. J. Allier, and got by " Cetewayo ;" 
is not quite even in the loins, but is otherwise handsome in 
form, of true feminine character, and great appearance of useful- 
ness. Mr. George Simpson's second cow, " Bessie," third at
