by Mr. W. S. Forster's " Mikado," the First winner at Nottingham 
last year, a bull of remarkably heavy substance, packed evenly 
upon a frame of ample length, yet well kept together and well- 
proportioned throughout. He was bred by Mr. A. Holmes. The 
Second winner, "Gold Dust 11th," a very good bull, exhibited 
by Mr. Robert Whitehead, of Paddockhurst, was bred by Messrs. 
E. and A. Stanford, and is a son of their " Goldsmith," three times 
winner of the Society's First Prize in the Class for the oldest 
bulls admitted to competition — at Derby, Reading, and York. 
" Goldsmith," one of the best Sussex show bulls that has ever 
appeared, was the son of an extensive winner, "Young Hartley," 
and has transmitted to many descendants the merit which 
commands notice in the show-yard. Another very creditable 
son of " Goldsmith," also bred by Messrs. Stanford, Sir F. A. 
Montefiore's " Gold Dust 9th," took the Third Prize, an advance 
from his position at Nottingham, where he had the Reserve 
Number; and the Reserve Number this year belonged to another 
son of " Goldsmith," from the same herd, Mr. Lucas's " Golden 
Horn." Two other useful-looking sons of " Goldsmith," also bred 
by Messrs. Stanford, were shown in the same Class by Mr. 
Waterlow and ]\Ir. Stewart Hodgson respectively. Mr. Vickress's 
" Woodmancote " deserved the High Commendation awarded, 
and Mr. Godman's " Nobleman," Commended, is the bull which 
took the second place last year at Nottingham. The Class 
altogether deserves to be called a good one. 
At least as much general praise is due to Class 9G, Bulls 
calved in 1887, nine entries, one absent. The " Berry " blood, 
which a few years ago was in especially high favour, asserts 
itself in Mr. Charles Child's " Jubilee," winner of the First Prize 
in his Class and the male Champion Prize and Reserve Number 
for the Queen's Gold INIedal, as best of the breed. He is a 
young bull of remarkably rich substance and true proportions, 
well grown for his age, two years and four months. Mr. 
Godman's "Oxford Duke 1st'' (Second Prize), Mr. Alfred 
Heasman's " Goldfinder " (Third Prize, another " Goldsmith " bull 
of Messrs. Stanford's breeding), the Aylesbury Dairy Company's 
" Clancarty " (Reserve Number), a son of " Mikado " ; the Earl 
of Winterton's " G old " (from Messrs. Stanford's sire, " Gold Dust 
11th)"; Mr. Churchman's "Butterman," Mr. Huth's " Fitzgerald 
5th," and Earl Howe's bull of the same name and number, bred 
by Mr. Huth (the distinguishing number of one should be 
altered, to avoid future confusion), seemed a strong lot of 
competitors for the remaining honours, after " Jubilee's " claim 
to first place had been duly recognised, and as " G old " had the 
prestige attaching to his Second honours at Nottingham, all
