Report of the Stewards of Stock at the Worcester Shoxc. 461 
prize aged bull of last year and the reserve number at Leeds, 
was only sliown in a " Bull, Cow, and Offspring Class." This 
is a very popular mode of competition in Herefordshire, and 
calculated, like the gold medium medals of the Highland 
Society, to give the public another sight of old favourites which 
may be disqualified by having taken the first Aged Bull and 
Cow prizes from again appearing in a Royal Show-yard. Thus, 
Colonel Towneley at one time contemplated sending " Royal 
Butterfly " to bear his part in one of these trios ; and, as it was, 
another species of local committee prize brought out Mr. Richard 
Booth's " Queen of the Ocean," the gold medal cow of last year. 
" Pride of Southwicke," which stood second to her in her class 
at Battersea, was now the first prize cow with " Maid of Athens " 
(who there took the first heifer-in-calf prize, when " May 
Morn " was disqualified) next in order. Lady Pigot has thus, 
for five years in succession, taken a prize in this class, — to 
wit, a third with " Empress of Hindostan," a third and a first 
(owing to the two cows above her not qualifying) with " Second 
Duchess of Gloucester," and a second and a first with the " Pride 
of Southwicke." Her ladyship's heifer-in-calf " Rosedale," which 
was not noticed last year, turned the tables on to Mr. Booth's 
" Second Queen of the May." ^ " Rose of Bushey," the first prize 
calf at Leeds, was uncommended in this very fine class ; and 
Colonel Towneley's yearling " Frederick's Farewell " made such 
good use of the thirteen months as to take precedence of " Lady," 
" Claret Cup," and " Castianira." Two of the Judges have sent 
in this Report : — 
" We have seen a much finer class as a whole at The Eoyal, than the aged 
biills in Class I. ; but still there were some very creditable ones, not overloaded 
with flesh, and fit for service — a remark which applies generally to the three 
first classes. Mr. J. Wilson's ' Duke of Tyne,' and Mr. Chavlesworth's 
'General Murat' were bulls with good quality and hair, and there was a 
difference of opinion between the three Judges as to which should have first 
honours. 
" Class II. for two-year-old bulls was nothing very great. It was' a verj' 
near thing, indeed, between the first prize bull, Viscount Hill's ' Hetman,' a 
very fair level bull, and Mr. Peel's ' Hengist.' But for the protuberance about 
' Hengist's ' rumps, their relative places might have been reversed. The third- 
prize bull, Mr. J. Brown's ' Young Radford,' is deficient in his handling, 
quarters, and thighs; and uses his hind-legs badly. The reserve-number, 
Lord Feversham's ' Vice-ChaDcellor,' was a very useful bull, and there was 
much discussion as to whether he or ' Young Radford ' should have the third 
prize. 
" The Yearling Bull Class III. was not good as a whole. Mr. Eastwood's 
' Hero,' the winner of the first prize, was a very even-made one throughout ; 
and if his touch had been quite in keeping with his shape, he would have 
been a very superior one. There was, however, a difference of opinion between 
the Judges as to the relative merits of him and the second-prize bull, Colonel 
Towneley's ' Royal Butterfly 11th,' a stylish animal with an advantage of 10 
months. The third prize, Mr. Woodward's 'French Buttei-fly's Coeur de
