650 Report on the Exhibition of Live- Stock at Shrewsbury, 1884. 
plenty of material about her for makinsf a good massive cow ; 
and Mr. Robinson's Princess 5th," composed of " Horace " and 
" Provost," through her sire, and of " Regulus," " Sir Thomas " 
and " Sir Benjamin," through her dam, well deserved the fourth 
prize in a large and an exceedingly good class. 
We now come to a remarkable feature of the Show, the ex- 
hibition of Heifers of 1882 and 1883 in groups of four, in 
Classes 69 and 70. Both were good classes, if we except one 
entry of really inferior animals, quite unfit for exhibition, in 
each class, and one other poorish lot of four in the Class of 
Younger Heifers, which, nevertheless, was the better and the 
larger class. In the other class, the executors of the late Mr. 
Carwardine exhibited the first winners, " Henrietta," " Rosa," 
" Luna," and " Althea," four handsome and massive heifers, all 
by " Lord Wilton." Mr. Boughton-Knight, of Downton Castle, 
(the home of the " Knight's Greys," in the last and early part 
of the present century), exhibited the second winners, wide- 
built, thick-fleshed heifers, three by " Downton Grand Duke," 
and one by " Auctioneer ;" but the prime beauties were among 
the Younger Heifers— Mr. A. P. Turner's " Kathleen," " Hilda," 
" Violet," and " Sibyl," all by " The Grove 3rd," the bull sold 
at The Leen, last year, publicly, for 810 guineas, and exported 
to America. In " The Grove 3rd," the " Horace " and " Sir 
Thomas" strains are united. The three heifers are wonderfully 
alike in character, although one is just a little less wide and sub- 
stantial than any one of her three companions. There were 
certainly in this class, putting aside the inferior lots, 28 re- 
markably fine heifers standing in the ring together, Mr. Price's 
" Sprightly," " Gipsy Girl," " Dainty," and " Pearl," full of 
" Horace," and such thick, good heifers as the Court House herd 
can always turn out, took the second prize ; Mr. Robinson's 
" Damsel 12th," (not " 7th," as in the Catalogue) " Cherry 23rd," 
" Red Spark 4th," and " Woodmaid 6th," doing credit to the 
" Horace," " Regulus," " Lord Wilton," and one or two other 
good strains, including that of Cronkhill, stood next in 
honour. Mr. Moore's " Lady Norma 5th," " Bright Pansy 1st," 
" Bright Ethel 6th," and " Merry Agnes 6th," all by " Bred- 
wardine," and wearing the brand of their grandsire, " Horace," 
were fourth on the prize-list ; and the reserved number gave 
credit to a fine lot of heifers, bred and exhibited by the Earl of 
Coventry. Mr. Smith and Mr. Minton had each a good lot of 
heifers in the ring, those from Gattertop being specimens of the 
stock of " Zulu Chief," and those from Montford-bridge all 
by " Assistant," a half brother of " Archibald." 
One more good class closes the list of Here fords — Class 71,
