Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Shrewsbury, 1884. 653 
•commendation ; and " Sirloin," whose appearance tvas injured 
by a slight cutaneous disorder, is again left unnoticed. 
Bulls of 1882 : 3 entries, all shown. " The Peer," bred and 
exhibited by Mr. Herbert Farthing, repeated his York victory. 
Mr. A. C. Skinner's " Lord Cutsey 2nd " and Mr. Howse's 
" Master Frank " are both good bulls, but not his peers. No 
one could pretend to find fault with this award. 
Bulls of 1883 : 9 entries, one absent. First, Mr. Walter's 
"Young English Gentleman," veri/ young, a September calf 
only, competing against much older and larger animals. The 
Judges evidently saw " a good bull in him " to be developed 
some day, and some outsiders thought they could see as much 
themselves ; so Sir W. Williams's " Candy " got only the second 
prize. He is a good and useful-looking bull, but had a touch 
of ring- worm, cured, doubtless, long before this Report comes 
to light. The circumstance is mentioned, because the dis- 
figurement is so often allowed to extend upon animals other- 
wise carefully treated, and to infect a whole herd and the 
herdsman also, and may be so very easily stopped at the first 
outbreak. Mr. H. Farthing's " Daisy's Bull " had the reserve ; 
Mr. W. Rolles Fryer's " Pine Apple" a commendation ; and 
with these noticed animals were others of good reputation — 
Mr. Bradbeer's " Heanton," Mr. Perry's " Draughtsman" (a son 
of "Benedict"), and Mr. Northey's "Actor" and "Lord 
Underwood." 
A good Class of Cows contained 8 entries, one afterwards with- 
drawn. All the seven in the Catalogue cried " Here " to the 
muster-roll on the' morning of the judging day. Mr. Howse's 
" Daisy 4th," second at York, missing her last year's rival (Sir W. 
Williams's " Rosebud "), stepped into the first place, and Mr. 
Walter's two cows, " Gipsy Lass " and " Famous " (the latter 
half-sister to Sir W. Williams's prize bull " Candy "), took the 
second prize and reserved place. Mr. A. C. Skinner exhibited 
his " Myrtle 7th," the first-prize cow at York, here highly com- 
mended, and " Sally," third by special recommendation of the 
Judges in the Three-year-old Class at York, here passed over 
individually, but partaking of the compliment which the Judges 
pay to the class collectively. 
In the Three-year-old Cow or Heifer Class, Mr. A. C. Skinner's 
splendid young cow, " Moss Rose 8th," first at York, is again 
first ; and Mr. W. Rolles Fryer's " Mignonette " once more, as last 
year, holds the second place ; Mr. Perry's " Diadem 2nd " (by 
" Druid ") having the reserved number. These were the only 
entries. The two last Classes, 77 and 78, Heifers of 1882 and 
1883, formed excellent classes, the former containing 9 entries, 
■8 shown ; the latter 11 entries, 7 shown. In both classes the
