662 Report on the Exhihition of Live- Stock at Preston, 1885. 
massive Borderers stalked majestically round the parade, re- 
paying with interest the glances with which they were favoured. 
The Judges' Report on this breed is full and interesting, and 
may be left to speak of individual merit. It is therefore merely 
necessary to note that there were 26 entries, that all appeared, 
that the Younger Bulls compared unfavourably with their elders, 
and that the Cows and Heifers were of excellent quality. 
Beport of the Judges of Galloways. 
Though the Galloways were few in number in several of the classes, yefc 
the average merit was so extremely high, that in resjoect of quality and general 
excellence there has very seldom, indeed, been seen so creditable a represen- 
tation of the breed anywhere. The first four animals in the Aged Bull Class 
were so very superior, that we felt constrained to give them a special measure 
of commendation. The first-prize bull, No. 882 — a four-year-old — is a truly 
magnificent Galloway, whose equal it would be difficult to find. The second, 
No. 886, is exceedingly choice in quality, and his outlines are very level. 
The third, No. 885, is an animal of immense substance ; while the bull which 
was awarded the reserve and highly commended ticket, though not in such 
good condition as those before him, is level, deep, and symmetrical. As one 
of the bulls brought into the ring showed symptoms of impure breeding, we 
requested the attending member to remove him — a request which was 
complied with. 
Three good Yearling Bulls were brought under our inspection. The one 
placed first, No. 889, has much substance, and he is both straight in his out- 
lines and deep. The second, No. 888, is a level bull ; but he is a little too 
long in his legs, possibly due in large measure to being rather poor in condi- 
tion. The reserve bull, No. 890, shows good quality. 
The Female classes were so exceptionally good, that we requested them to 
be specially commended as a whole. The Three-year-old Cows, though few in 
number, were remarkably good. The first. No. 893, is ahnost a perfect speci- 
men of a young Galloway cow. Indeed, looked at from every point of view, 
she is equally good. The second. No. 894, shows exceptional quality, and 
stands on short legs. The reserve cow. No. 892, though in such superior 
company, looked well, being lengthy and very level in her outlines. 
Only three Two-year-old Heifers were entered. Very seldom, indeed, has 
a better been seen than the first-prize heifer, No. 897, is in every respect. 
The second, No. 896, is a heifer of rare quality; while the reserVe one, 
No. 895, is also a good one. 
The Yearling Heifers, numbering nine, formed a grand class. The first, 
No. 901, is a beauty, and seems very promising. No. 905, placed second, 
combines substance and quality in a remarkable degree. The reserve and 
highly commended heifer. No. 906, is very straight, and altogether symme- 
trical. We also gave a ticket of commendation to No. 900, a very sweet, 
stylish young heifer.
