648 Report on the Cattle UxMbited at Windsor. 
per pound weight, in " Coercion " than in " Emblem," but if the 
latter cow more truly realised the recognised type of the breed, 
she was the better cow in that Class, whatever she might be else- 
where. Mr. Herbert Hammond's " Davy 65th," rather long in 
frame, and of more than the average size of the breed ; Mr. 
Colman's " Rosalie," and Mr. Gooderham's " Wild Ruth," with 
her bright outlook, were all good, useful-looking stock cows. 
Mr. Tyssen- Amherst's " Poppety 2nd," only Third last year in a 
Class of eight yearlings, this year headed a Class of thirteen two- 
year-old heifers, all entries counted, and only one was absent. 
She is a daughter of his " Didlington Davyson 2nd," his First 
Prize bull at Norwich and Nottingham. The same breeder's 
" Dainty " made a good Second, and his " Emerald," daughter of 
" Emblem," a good Second also in the Yearling Class, in which 
Mr. Colman's " Siren," one of " lago's " stock, was First winner, 
and " Melton Beauty " and " Convolvulus " very creditably 
represented the herd of Lord Hastings. 
Report of the Judges of Red Polled Cattle. 
[Classes 109 to 114.] 
The Red Polls showed in considerable numbers, and in some of the 
Classes there were several very meritorious animals. In Class 109, Bulls 
calved in 1883, 1884, 1885, or 1886, the First Prize was awarded to No. 
1564 (Mr. H. P. Green's Wild Roy), which also obtained the Champion 
and Gold Medal, an animal of great substance and excellent quality. The 
other animals in this Class were of sufScient excellence to warrant us in 
commending the whole of them. The younger bulls in both Classes require 
no special remarks. The Cow Class contained some of the best animals 
which came under our notice, and we were much pleased with the milking 
qualities presented by many of them, and we would respectfully draw the 
attention of the breeders of this class of cattle to the importance of retaining 
this characteristic for which it has been so long remarkable. The First 
Prize cow, No. 1595 (Mr. Tyssen-Amherst's Emblem), was a close competi- 
tor for the Gold Medal. The Heifer Classes, particularly those calved in 
1887, contained some exceedingly good animals. Good as were two or three 
of the bulls, the female Classes were, as a whole, much more meritorious.

Scotch Breeds. 
Scotland is said to have three " native " breeds of cattle — the 
Highland, the Galloway, and the Aberdeen-Angus — all beef 
breeds, and one breed, not called " native," yet regarded as not 
less Scotch than the " native " breeds themselves, the Ayrshire 
dairy breed. Local sub-varieties of the three former breeds, and 
crosses or nondescript mixtures of the various main types, may be 
found ; but under these four heads the recognised breeds of 
Scotland are classed. To the first, and particularly to the Highland
