Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Newcastle. 559 
Aylesbury Dairy Company got the second prize for " Busaco 
3rd," a very nice three-year-old bull, bred by the Dowager Lady 
Howard de VValden. The reserve ticket also went to the 
Aylesbury Dairy Company for " Moonlighter ", a pretty little 
calf got by the second prize bull " Busaco 3rd." It attracted 
: much attention at the parades, and amongst its admirers was 
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who purchased the 
little Irishman before the close of the Show. 
The class of cows and heifers was one of the best of the breed 
we have ever seen, its high character being indicated by the 
fact that the first prize cow at the recent great show at Killar- 
ney could not get into the list here. It is on this account all 
the more gratifying to Mr. Martin John Sutton that he should 
have been able to retain the first prize in England. At Dyson's 
Wood, Kidmore, near Reading, Mr. Sutton has established a herd 
of Kerries of the very highest character, and it is worthy of remark 
that while amongst his few pure Kerries he had one good enough 
to head a very strong class in the Royal Show, his herd consists 
chiefly of animals of the " Dexter " type, which would seem to 
have found most favour with him. His first prize cow " Flora " 
is a very handsome eight-year-old black, bred by Mr. R. Good, 
Aherlow, Co. Cork. The second prize went to Mr. James 
I Robertson of La Mancha, Co. Dublin, who has long bred Kerry 
! cattle with distinguished success, and from whose herd Mr. 
Martin J. Sutton has drawn largely in founding the herd at 
I Dyson's Wood. The Aylesbury Dairy Company obtained the 
" reserve " ticket for " Lady Waterford," an excellent cow of 
unknown pedigree. 
Beport of the Judges of Kerry Cattle. 
lu reporting on the Kerry and Dexter Class, Nos. 18 and 19, we beg to 
remark an improvement of the animals brought forward, and bear testimony 
i to a general interest and attention being attracted to thij useful class of 
cattle through the prizes offered by the Society. But we would recommend 
f in future the making two separate Classes, and not mixed Dexters and Kerry, 
as they are not suitable for crossing, or for the same practical i^urposes.

Daiey Cattle. 
In the Class of Dairy Cows four-years-old or upwards, there 
Was as usual a good deal of variety of type and character. The 
Shorthorn element predominated, and amongst the twenty 
' entries were several big, massive well-shaped cows of a 
thoroughly useful stamp, as well adapted for beef production as
