606 Iiej)Oii on the Cattle Exhibited at Windsm: 
Mr. Eichard Chaloner, whose " Anchor," exhibited by Lord 
Eathdonnell, was first in the Aged Class at the Kilburn Inter- 
national Show ; and Mr. W. T. Talbot-Crosbie, the breeder of 
" Prince of Halnaby," the premier aged bull at Norwich three 
years ago. 
'J'hese, indeed, are all truly representative men, but so are 
many others, and all we can do is to take an example or two of 
each class of exhibitors — the breeders who breed aiid exhibit, 
but with whom exhibition is a secondary purpose ; those who 
breed to exhibit ; those who exhibit to sell ; the occasional 
amateur exhibitor ; the thoroughgoing professional exhibitor, 
who breeds and buys and feeds and shows for a grand annual 
sweep of prize-money (of course this refers to the past — no 
allusion to present company), and all the grades between these 
classes. I must not, however, omit to mention the breeder of 
the illustrious " Queen Mary " and her kindred. The Rev. R. 
B. Kennard is not only a representative breeder on account of 
his southern locality, somewhat out of the well-worn tracks of 
the Shorthorn, but as one who propounded a theory of breeding 
and has illustrated in the show-yards its results when applied 
to practice. 
There are two names which I have purposely reserved to 
the last, on account of the difficulty of introducing paren- 
thetically in a list of names the remarks I should have to 
make upon them. I refer to the late Colonel Towneley and 
the Stratton family. But I am quite conscious that the list 
is but fragmentary. 
Colonel Towneley's brilliant series of successes may be 
traced to his purchase of Mr. Eastwood's very select herd in 
the year 1848, and his securing the services of Mr. Culshaw 
almost immediately afterwards. He had, moreover, in Mr. 
Eastwood, a trusty friend in council. In the records of 1849 
we find him successful in the Norwich Show-yard. From that 
occasion to the Worcester Show in 1863, his herd, comprising 
the choicest descendants of Mr. Waldy's " Barmpton Rose," a 
noted cow in the herds of Messrs. Wetherell and Watson, won 
its way to lasting fame. In March 1864, that herd was dis- 
persed, but Mr. Culshaw soon afterwards got together a few 
'■ Barmpton Roses " and other good cows, and the Royal Premier 
bull, " Royal Butterfly,"' having been retained, and " Baron 
Oxford " purchased from Mr. Mcintosh, the new herd soon 
began to rival the original herd in reputation. Prizes were 
won at Manchester in 1869, Oxford 1870, Wolverhampton 
1871, and Cardiff 1872 ; but in May 1873 the second Towneley 
herd was sold under Mr. Strafford's sand-glass.
