Report on the Cattle Exhibited at Windsor. 
much admired. The next occasion for special Loughoru Classes 
was at Birmingham, 1876, when the prizes offered by the local 
committee drew together a most memorable lot of Longhorns, 
A decided improvement in the development of the heifers for 
their ages, as compared with Longhorn heifers of former days, 
was generally remarked. At that Show the late Duke of 
Buckingham was a prominent exhibitor, taking First Prizes for 
"Conqueror 3rd," and "Marquis," "Lady T wy cross " and 
" Countess of Temple," and a Second Prize for "Barmaid," the 
four last by "Conqueror 3rd," who was a First Prize winner also at 
Liverpool and Bristol. Including 1876, for nine consecutive years 
special Classes were granted to the Longhorns. At Liverpool in 
1877 the prizes were again given by a local committee, but by 
the Society in 1878, when the Show was held at Bristol; 1879 
(Kilburn, International Meeting), where Major-General Fitz- 
Wygram's " Prince Victor " and the Duke of Buckingham's 
"Countess of Temple" were the Champions ; 1880 (Carlisle), 
1881 (Derby), 1882 (Reading), 1883 (York), and 1884 (Shrews- 
bury), from which time they were discontinued until this year, 
when they were restored at Windsor, to the extent of one class 
for bulls and one for cows and heifers of all ages. 
Class 101, Bulls of any age, contained five entries, and Class 
102, Cows or Heifers of any age, six entries. In this small total 
of eleven, however, considerable merit was found. All the bulls 
and four cows received judicial notice. The First Prize and the 
Queen's Gold Medal were awarded to " General," a three-year-old 
brindled bull with blue-grey cheeks, a good specimen of the old 
type, bred by Mr. S. Forest, of The Chase, Kenil worth, and ex- 
hibited by Mr. W. Griffiths, of Mold. " General " is a grand- 
son of " The Captain," Mr. Godfrey's Second Prize two-year-old 
bull at Bristol, and he, through "The Blue Knight" and 
" Upton 1st," traced in the direct male line to " Old Sparkenhoe," 
the Plymouth Royal winner in 1865, a very noble-looking and 
well-remembered bull. Mr. Causer's Second winner represents 
the Calke Abbey herd. 
Lady Mary Morgan, whose " Conqueror 6th," Commended in 
Class 101, has a head worth the attention of an art-student, 
exhibited the First Prize and Reserve cows, " Adelina " and 
" Lady Twycross 4th," the latter descended from two of the 
Duke of Buckingham's winners at Birmingham in 1876, 
" Conqueror 3rd " and " Lady Twycross." Mr. Satchwells 
" Emily " (Second Prize), and a cow named " Lily " (Com- 
mended), bred by him, but exhibited by Mr. Bates, of Malvern, 
both trace through his " Lady Forest " to " Blue Bull," of 
Rollright ancestry.
