654 Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Shrewsbury, 1884. 
heifers of Sir W. Williams were first, those of Mr. W. Rolles 
Fryer second. The elder first-prize heifer, " Frolicsome," is of 
the ever-famous "Temptress" family, ofFlitton, descended from 
the late Mr. James Davy's Battersea International Gold Medal 
cow, and is a beautiful heifer of much style and finely-moulded 
form. The younger first-winner from the same herd, " Flame," 
a good yearling, has a Flitton sire and a dam of the Stowey 
Court strain, being of the same family, that of " Famous," to 
which the bull " Candy," in Class 74, and Mr. Walter's cow, 
in Class 75, belong. The reserved-number heifer in the Older 
Class, Sir W. Williams's " Fashion," was the York first-prize 
yearling, and is of the " Temptress " family. The animal 
holding the same place among the heifers of last year is from 
the Windsor herd.

Class 72. — Good. Kos. 659 and 660, own brothers, were very good 
specimens, and possessed fine qualitj\ The reserved bull lacked firmness of 
flesh, apparently from overshowing. 
Class 73. — No. 663, a handsome young bull, fully deserving of the first 
prize. 
Class 7 4. — No. 664 ; very promising, and will doubtless appear again in 
the prize list. 
Class 75. — No. 679, very good cow of fine breeding. Class so good, third 
prize asked for. 
Class 76. — No. 682, one of the best animals of the breed exhibited. 
Class 77. — Good. No. 688, a very promising heifer. 
Class 78. — Equally good. The prize heifers No. 697 and No. 699 look 
growing into good cows. 
We are pleased to note a decided improvement in the general quality 
and breeding of the Devons. This is especially pleasing, as the Show is not 
held in the home of the breed.

This is a breed which should assert itself in the competition 
of beef-making breeds for American patronage. It can clear up 
the coarsest pasturage, bear hardships, walk any distance, and 
feed to great weight. Its uniform character, strongly trans- 
mitted to the progeny of Sussex bulls crossing other breeds, is 
also in its favour. 
The classes show a little variation from the arrangement of 
last year. At York the first class was for Bulls of 1877-8-9. 
This year it is for Bulls of 1878-9-80-81, bringing one year 
more within its limits, making the next class for Bulls of 1882, 
instead of Bulls of 1881, and so making room, further, for a 
class of last year's Bulls, which had no corresponding class at
