Report of the Stewards of Stock at the Battersea Show. 379 
shown, and particularly in tlie winners of prizes. It is also 
worthy of remark that 8 winners out of the 24 were either bred 
by or directly descended from the herd of the late Lord Berwick, 
who crossed his " Knight Greys " with red and white-faced 
bulls from the herds of Messrs. Hewer, Longmore, Carpenter, 
Williams, &c. The gold-medal bull, Mr. Hill's " Milton," and 
a third prize bull Mr. Duckham's "Victor" (who gave 11 
months in his class), were both by sons of his lordship's " Cherry 
7th" by "Hotspur." Mr. Read's first prize 2-year-old heifer 
" Thcora," and his second prize heifer calf "Miss Southam," 
were both daughters of the same cow ; " Ada," " Adela," and 
" Adelina," winners of a third and two first prizes, were of his 
lordship's Silver tribe ; and Mr. Naylor's second-prize " Heiress " 
was also bred by his lordship, but from a different tribe. The 
Cow class, which was headed by Mr. Coates's gold-medal 
winner " Matchless " was universally commended, as were those 
for 2-year-old bulls, yearling heifers, and heifer calves. Mr, 
Hill's "Milton," and "Adela," from the Prince Consort's 
Flemish Farm, were both first prize winners at Leeds last year 
(although the latter was disqualified from a misdescription) ; and 
" Adda's " half-sister, Mr. Baldwin's " Adelina," from " Agnes," 
now takes the first heifer calf prize. 
The Devons " were the best 1 have ever seen, and I have attended 
eleven Royal meetings ; the cows, heifers, and yearling heifers 
especially were very superior." Mr. James Davy, of Flitton, 
sent 5 animals, and won four firsts and a second (against one of 
his own), besides taking both gold medals with " Duke of 
Flitton " and " Temptress," neither of which had been in a show- 
yard before. The Messrs. Quartly were not exhibitors ; but the 
" Duke of Flitton " and Mr. Newbery's " Bonaparte," which 
was second to him in his class, were by Mr. James Quartly's 
" Napoleon ;" and Messrs. Palmer's " Lord Cary," the third in 
the same class — Mr. Bodley's " Champion," the second in the 
2-year-old Bull class — and " Crown Prince," from the Prince 
Consort's Norfolk Farm, the first in the Yearling class — were of 
pure Quartly blood. Mr. Farthing's " Viscount," who took the 
first prize in the Yearling clas3 at Leeds, was first in his class 
again ; and " Crown Prince " was alike promoted from the head 
ot the bull calves to that of the yearlings, his place of last year 
being taken by " Prince Alfred," of the Prince Consort's blood 
on both sides, making the fourth first-prize taken this year by 
animals from the Prince Consort's Norfolk and Flemish Farms. 
Of the 11 in the Cow class, one of which did not come, no less 
than 5 were commended and 1 highly commended ; and Mr. G. 
Turner's " Piccolomini " earned second honours, as at Leeds last 
year. The winner " Temptress " (whose Pink blood has been in
