COS Beport on the Cctttle Esehihited at Windsor. 
Class 75, Bulls of 1883-4-5, comprised ten entries, and (three 
being absent) seven animals stood together in the ring. The 
First Prize bull, " Mario," now exhibited by Mr. 0. W. Brierley, 
was last year at Nottingham the First Prize and Champion bull, 
then exhibited by Mr. A. M. Gordon, of Newton, Aberdeenshire, 
bred by Mr. W. Duthie, of CoUynie, in the same county. 
" Mario " has, without coarseness (his nicely shaped head, true 
proportions of frame, and level flesh being quite of the opposite 
character), a masculine presence. The ideal neatness which 
may be a right standard for heifers should not be applied indiscri- 
minately to both sexes, nor, I would submit, to mature cows. How 
often we hear it said of a cow that she is growing " patchy," 
when really the development so described is only the normal 
growth proper to her years ; and in the same way a bull is said 
to have " grown out of show form " when the strength belonging 
to his sex asserts itself in the rising, massive neck, and other 
excesses and rotundities of muscle. " Mario " has not developed 
these to anything like an extreme degree, yet he is unmistakably 
a bull, and his head, although of open, gentle, placid counten- 
ance, is a true bull's head. With all his scale he " keeps well 
together," as technical language puts it, and his top-line is firm 
and strong as ever. His colour is a pleasant, soft, grey-roan. 
Second in honour in the Class was Mr. John Vickers's " Royal 
Ingram," the red and white Premier bull at Newcastle two years 
ago, when he was shown by his breeder, Mr. W. Handley, whose 
Aberdeenshire-bred " Mac Beath," second winner last year in 
the Three-year-old Bull Class at Nottingham, and found in the 
Newcastle list among the Judges' Reserves, this year made a 
good Third ; Mr. Brierley's " Aristocrat " again, as last year, 
having the Reserve Number. 
Class 7G, Bulls calved in 1886 (thirteen entries, no absentees, 
but one withdrawn entry), was a very fair class. The chief winner, 
" Prosperity," whose colour is a bright sort of roan with enough 
white to set it off to advantage, and frame symmetrical and ample 
in average width, the hind-quarters ending in square form, 
was bred by Mr. Thompson, Inglewood, and exhibited by Mr. 
Barnes, Wigton. He was placed, by the accident of arrange- 
ment, in the next stall to Mr. HoUins's " Pageant," his full 
brother in blood — that is to say, the two having one sire, 
"Mountain Chief 2nd," a.nd their dams, " Pearl Armlet" and 
" Pearl Anklet," being own sisters, by " Beau Benedict " from Mr. 
Thompson's "Pearl Necklace 2nd." "Pageant" is a very 
useful-looking roan bull, with a strong reminder of his grandsire 
about the head, a characteristic feature of" Beau Benedict " which 
often crops out in his descendants. The second in honour was
