Beport of the Senior Sievard of Live-StocJc at Nottingham. 619 
We are of opinion that the exhibits of Hereford Cattle for excellence of 
quality hare never been surpassed, there being a large number of high-clas3 
animals, both male and female, of all ages.

John Ceane, 
Report of the Judges of Devon Cattle. 
[Classes 67 to 71.] 
In compliance ■vrith the request of the Council that the Judges of the 
several departments should make any special comment they may think fit on 
the merits of the animals brought before them, we beg to say that, consider- 
ing the great distance they had to be taken from their native home, the 
different classes of Dev"ons were fairly well filled with specimens which did 
their owners much credit. And though the names of Quartly, Davey, 
Turner, and "Walter Farthing no longer appear in the catalogue as exhibitors, 
still, when we have as substitutes and exhibitors Lord Falmouth, Sir W. 
"Williams, A. C. Skinner, and otheis, it is imlikely that the Royal Society's 
prizes could be won by Devons undeserv edly. 
We, therefore, hope that the Society vdll continue its liberal encourage- 
ment to this famous as well as ancient breed of cattle. 
In making our awards we were imanimous in our endearoirr to give pre- 
ference to those specimens which had the character, style, air, and quality 
of flesh mostly resembling a thoroughbred. 
We think it best to forbear offering remarks on the comparative points 
of excellence of the exhibits, beyond expressing our opinion that tbe Fie^t 
Pkize animals, particularly in Classes 67 and 69 — Bulls — and 70 and 71 — 
Heifers — though they somewhat lack in size and grandeur, represent, or very 
approximately so, the correct type and character of the pure-bred Devon.
