558 Report on the Exhibition of Lice Stock at Liverpool. 
in it. First honours fell to its lot at Bath, and at the Devon 
County Show ; and, as the Judge's Report indicates, it is out of the 
first-prize cow, which, together with the second-prize yearling 
bull, testifies to her valuable breeding properties. The second 
calf, from Stowey Court, is higher on the legs. It was not at 
Bath ; and Mrs. Langdon's third here got second honours in the 
South. The Judge's Report proceeds as follows : — 
" The show of Devons, although small in numbers, was a good one as regards 
the excellence of the animals exhibited. 
In the old bull class there were only two entries. The first-prize bull is a 
very superior animal, with good substance and great symmetry. The second- 
prize bull was a very thick-fleshed useful bullock. 
In Class 62 the competition was again confined to two animals ; but they 
were both of great merit and do great credit to their breeder, and will doubt- 
less be heard of again in the Show-ring. The Yearling and Calf Classes were 
well represented. The first- prize cow is an animal of extraordinary excellence, 
and combines great size with almost perfect symmetry and true character. 
The second was a very smart, thick-fleshed, promising young cow. 
Amongst the heifer and calf classes there were some very superior animals, 
especially the first prize in the yearling class and the first and second-prize 
calves. The first-prize calf is a daughter of the first cow, and promises to be 
a worthy successor of such a dam. 
The Sussex, and Norfolk and Suffolk Polled Classes, being a long distance 
from home, contained but few entries, but amongst them were some good 
specimens of their respective breeds.

Channel Lslandcrs. — In these breeds competition was confined 
to the Jerseys, of which there was a capital representation. The 
Judges have kindly furnished such an elaborate and valuable 
Report, that I shall only enumerate a few of the previous vic- 
tories of the prominent animals. Mr. Simpson's second aged 
bull was first at Bath, and the fourth one second, but the first 
here was absent. Mr. Simpson's first yearling bull was second 
at Bath, when the one now third was first. The first-prize cow 
above three years old, I was informed, gives 45 lbs. of milk 
daily, and 15 lbs. of butter weekly. She is a beauty. The first 
two-year-old heifer was second at Bath ; her conqueror there 
being now absent. There was no disturbing of decisions in this 
instance. 
The Judges report in the following interesting terms : — 
Class 69. Jersey Bulls above Tivo Years old. — Ten animals were entered, 
Nos. 590-599, but only nine were shown in the ring (No. 594 being absent). 
With the exception of the prize-takers, the entry in point of quality was 
merely moderate. No. 590, the first prize, " Father Joseph " (2 years 4 
months), bred by the exhibitor, Mr. Thomas Horrocks Miller, is a silver grey, 
with a very beautiful head and fine horns, possessing a considerable amount of 
quality, and is likely to prove a most useful bull for producing good-milking 
stock. No. 595, the second prize, " Romeo," bred in the island and exhibited 
by Mr. George Simpson, is only seven days older than the above bull, and is 
an animal to be admired, showing many good points ; his loins and body are
