462 Report of the Stewards of Stock at the Worcester SJioic. 
Lion,' was a lai-ge growthy bull, not very even, but with great substance and 
better hair and quality than any of them, besides being quite the most active 
on his legs, which was a great point in his favour. 
" The first prize in Class IV. was awarded to Sir Antony de Eothschild's 
' Captain Cherry,' a well-grown 10-months-old calf with very good hair and 
quality, but slightly weak in his back. There was great difficulty in deciding 
on a second and third out of a lot of very small promise. The second prize 
was eventually given to Mr. Game's ' Pizarro,' and the third to Mr. Kobinson's 
' Pretor,' while Sir Anthony de Eothschild's ' Officer ' was made the reserve- 
number. 
" The female first-prize winners were very superior to the bulls, and the 
four along with ' Queen of the Ocean,' ' Second Queen of the May,' ' Fi-ederick's 
Farewell,' and ' Lalage the 2nd,' make' up eight, such as we have seldom seen 
together in a Show-yard. With the exception of the first-prize winner, Lady 
Pigot's ' Pride of Southwicke,' Class V. for cows was a very indifferent one ; 
and the winner, a very stylish good cow, was fit to meet far better company. 
It was, in short, 'one first and the rest nowhere.' The second-prize cow, 
Mr. Lane's ' Maid of Athens,' was large and patchy ; and the reserve-number. 
Lord Spencer's ' Veil,' very hard and with bad hair. ' Pride of Southwicke ' 
was shown in very beautiful condition ; but ' Maid of Athens ' and ' Veil ' were 
overdone. 
" In the Two-year-old Heifer Class VI., the Judges were divided in ojiinion 
between Lady Pigot's ' Rosedale ' and Mr. Booth's ' Second Queen of the May 
but the ultimate decision was in favour of ' Kosedale,' a heifer of ver^' great 
substance, and, although five weeks younger, much the heaviest of the two, 
but a little patchy on the back. ' Queen of the May 2nd ' was not so well up 
to the mark. Several in this class, including the first-prize winner, were very 
much overfed. After the first two places had been awarded, there was con- 
siderable difficulty in settling on a third and a reserve-number. The decision 
was eventually in favour of Colonel Towneley's ' Eoau Knight's Butterfly ' and 
' Eoyal Butterfly's Duchess.' The former, a heifer of great substance, won her 
third prize at a disadvantage, as she had calved only seven days previously. 
Her companion was more stylish, but too high on the leg, and rather ligiit 
beneath. Four other heifers, Mr. P. Taylor's ' Trinket,' Mr. E. Bowlcy's 
' Musical,' Mr. Butlers rich roan heifer, and Mr. Lane's ' Kiss the 3rd,' were 
all highly commended, and most deservedly. 
" The first-prize yearling heifer in Class VII. was the Duke of Montrose's 
' Flower Girl,' a very fine one in every way with large size, quality, and style, 
and a very awkward one to meet. The second-prize one, Colonel Towneley's 
' Frederick's Farewell,' was very good, and the pair were a long way ahead of 
the third-prize one. Lady Pigot's ' Castianira.' Colonel Towneley's ' Bampton 
Butterfly ' was the reserve-number, and four others were commended. It was 
like the class above it, a decidedly good one on the whole. 
" In Class VIII., Mr. Macintosh's ' Lady Oxford 5th,' a heifer-calf of most 
undeniable sjmimctry and still more remarkable quality, distanced every- 
thing. The second-prize winner, Mr. Oliver's ' Lalage 2nd,' was an even 
clever calf, but wanting the grandeur of the first. Colonel Towneley's ' Eoyal 
Butterfly's Pageant,' which was placed third, is a neat one of an objec- 
tionable colour, not very growthy, and rather weak on its legs. It was a very 
near thing between it and the reserve-number, Mr. Hegan's 'Grand Duchess 
12th,' which was, however, not so symmetrically made. 
" The first prize for a pair of cows in-milk was won very easily by Mr. 
Eichard Booth's 'Queen of the Ocean ' and ' Soldier's Bride.' ' The Queen ' 
had very decidedly bettered her Battersca gold-medal form, and ' Soldier's 
Bride ' is very drooping in her rumps, but improved in her touch. For the 
three-year-old heiier-pairs, in which the first prize was won by Mr. Middle-
