Report on the Cattle JExhibited at Windsor. 
Class 118 — Cores or Heifers in Milk or in Calf — was one of the Classes 
of the Show. It contained some Tery fine specimens of the breed. Tliere 
was a pretty close pull for first honours between two very fine animals 
which stood distinctly ahead of the others in their Class. The Fikst Prize, 
No. 1664 (Mr. George Wilken's Waterside Matilda 2nd), was given to an 
eight-year-old cow of extraordinary wealth of flesh. She is perhaps losing 
a little of her bloom, but is really an extra fine animal. The Second, 
No. 1676 (Sir G. Macpherson Grant's Elegy), is a beautifully straight, level 
cow, showing a great deal of breeding and feminine character, and would 
make a creditable first in almost any competition. The Third, No. 1668 
(the Marquis of Huntly's St. Anna), is also an uncommonly sweet cow, 
rather undersized, but showing as much quality as any in the Class. The 
Reserve is a strong, .straight young cow of good quality, but standing a little 
high on her legs. The cow following is also very good with finely-covered 
top, and the others ticketed are also very good specimens, some of them 
following very close on the others placed before them. 
Class 119. Heifers calved in 1887. — In this Class there were some very 
good animals. There was no difficulty in awarding the First Prize to 
No. 1689 (the Marquis of Huntley's St. Agnes), a very thick well-brought- 
out heifer of good quality, but a little short in the neck. The Second, 
No. 1683 (Lord Tweedmouth's Fame of Guisachan), is a stylish young heifer, 
shown to a disadvantage alongside the others owing to her age. She has 
every appearance of turning out well. The Third, No. 1693 (Mr. G. S. 
Grant's Duchess S.), is a fine-topped, level heifer, showing a deal of breeding. 
The Reserve Number, No. 1692 (Mr. G. S. Grant's Livonia), is a thick 
compact heifer. The others mentioned in the Class are also all very good. 
Class 120 — Heifers calved in 1888 — were a fine Class. The First Prize, 
No. 1698 (Mr. Andrew Mackenzie's Zady Ida 5th), is a beautiful heifer, well 
brought out, and showing great quality and breeding. She is a very promis- 
ing youngster. The Second Prize, No. 1706 (Sir. A. Egginton's Miss 
Maurice of South Ella), is also a very good, straight, even-topped heifer, not 
shown in extra condition ; while the Third Prize, No. 1707 (Mr. 
Owen C. Wallis's Hoiden), is very strong for her age, with plenty of good 
flesh and well brought out. The Reserve Number, No. 1704 (Mr. Clement 
Stephenson's Reticence), is also a big, strong useful heifer. The two heifers 
following are both young, but show great quality and breeding combined 
with fine style.

Galloway Cattle. 
From whatsoever sources derived, by whatsoever processes of 
evolution brought to its present distinctness of character, the 
hornless breed of Galloway is now potentially " pure," — that is to 
say, and it is as much as we can say truly for the so-called 
" purity " of any improved breed, it is constant to type within 
itself. But it is more than that. It has extraordinary power of 
stamping its likeness upon its cross-bred offshoots. For practical 
purposes, knowing this, we need not trouble ourselves to ascertain 
precisely the elements of which it is composed, nor how long 
they have been blended. The pedigrees of Galloway cattle were 
first publicly recorded in the Polled Herd-book edited by Mr.
