class. The first-prize heifer, Lord Polwarth's Truth, was 
decorated witli the female champion colours. Mr. William 
Graham's Windsors Beauty was second, and the Duke of 
Northumberland's Fairij Rosebud was third. 
The best of the Shorthorn Classes was that for two-year-old 
heifers (Class Gl), and the Judges commended the lot. Lord 
Polwarth's Gladsome Wove was placed in reserve to the same 
exhibitor's older heifer for the championship. Her Majesty the 
Queen was awarded the second prize for Rosalind, and Mr. 
Deane-Willis was third with Lady Madge. 
Yearling heifers (Class G2) made up a large class of mode- 
rate quality, at the head of which was placed Messrs. Harrison's 
Fern Sth, followed by the Queen's Rosemary and Mr. JJeane- 
AVillis's Vinolia. 
Herefords, which were shown in six classes, appeared in 
rather fewer numbers than at Plymouth. They led off with a 
very grand class of aged bulls (Class G3), Mr. W. H. Cooke's 
Grove Wilton 4th possessing special excellence. The Earl of 
Coventry's White Boy " is of great scale, but not so level as the 
first-prize winner." Mr. J. Hungerford Arkwright's Sp'inrj 
Jack " is smaller but of good type." 
Amongst the two-year-old bulls (Class 64), the first and second 
prize animals — Mr. Arkwright s Rose Cross 2nd, and 31r. A. E. 
Hughes's Ironclad. — are '-remarkably good specimens of the 
breed " ; whilst Mr. Stephen Robinson's third-prize bull Sterling 
" is not so perfect in form, but likely to make a good stock bull." 
The yearling bulls (Class Go) were a less satisfactory display than 
might be expected at a '• Royal "' Show. 
Class 6G, for cows born in or before 1888, contained three 
splendid animals, — the Earl of Coventry's Ladyvood, and 
Mr. Thomas Feun's Bravura and Boicnton Fancy. The 
third-prize cow would have been placed first if she had not 
had a black nose. The first-prize cow showed better cha- 
racter and was more like a breeding animal than the second- 
prize cow." 
The two-year-old heifers (Class 67) were a fine class, the 
first and second heifers — Mr. Richard Green's Biana and 
Mr. E. S. Godsell's Sunleam — being very superior animals. 
Yearling heifers (Class 68) were a large class of good quality. 
Mr. Green's first-prize heifer Berilla " possesses great scale, 
with quality and character." 
Bevons were a long way from home at Doncaster, and they 
were catalogued only to the number of 20 as against 52 at 
Plymouth last year. "With one exception the ten prizes a-warded 
in the four classes all went to AVest Country herds, and Sir
