Arkwright, of Sutton Scarsdale, Derbyshire, a bull showing great quality 
and rich colour. He promises to be an animal likely to acquire distinction, 
not only in the show-ring but in the herd. The Second Prize went to 
No. 942, Bessie's Boy, bred and exhibited by Mv. G. Simpson, of Wray Park.

shapely bull. The Third Prize fell to No. 948, Hamley, by Mr. James 
Blyth's " Wolseley's Glory 2nd," bred and exhibited by Mr. S. Baxendale, 
of Bonningtons, Herts, a small animal which owed his position among many

a confirmation of his previous performance at the Royal Counties Show at

Mr, W. G. Aubyn, of St. Saviour's, Jersey, and exhibited by Mr. W. D.
