Heport on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Shrewshury, 1884. 657 
Report of the Judges of Sussex Cattle. 
Considering tlie distance at which the " Royal " Show was held from the 
native home of the large red breed of cattle, they were well represented from 
the herds of the principal breeders, although rather short in numbers. 
In Class 79, No. 708 was placed first, a grand, massive animal, with good 
head and capital touch from the well-known Batons herd ; second prize, 
No. 704, was one of the best fore- quarter bulls of the breed that has come 
hefore the public this year, but which is very much wanting in his hind- 
quarter ; the reserve and highly commended, No. 707, was well worthy of 
the notice. 
Class 80. — No. 714, first prize, was a massive bull, with a great deal 
of flesh and substance, which is a great point in these days of early maturity. 
The second prize went to No. 710, not quite as he should be in the rumps, 
and a little harsh in the touch ; reserve number, 711, was a fine animal, but 
flat ribbed, but looks likely to make a large animal when older. 
Class 81. — First ju-ize, No. 718, had a nice head and colour, but was rather 
leggy ; second prize. No. 719, was a fair useful animal. 
Class 82. — No. 725, first prize, was a very nice cow, with grand back and 
good touch, but a little wanting in the thighs ; she had a calf by her side, so 
•did not show to the best advantage ; second ])rize. No. 721, was a grand cow, 
showing a great deal of the old Sussex type, but rather patchy in the rumps ; 
both of these animals were bred by the Messrs. E. and A. Stanford, of 
Eatons. 
Class 83. — First prize. No. 728, was a cow of great substance, very close 
to the ground, and looks like a wonderful milker for the breed, rather light in 
colour ; second prize. No. 726, very good spread and colour, but very short 
from the hip to the rump. 
Class 84. — First prize, No. 730, a fine massive heifer coming from the 
Slinfold Herd, which, although in its infancy, has already shown some good 
and ijromising animals ; second prize. No. 735, a very nice heifer, but wants 
a little more age to furnish ; reserve, No. 732, was a nice animal, but leggy. 
Class 85. — No. 744 and No. 743 were placed first and second, two very 
nice heifers belonging to the sanie exhibitor, Mr. A. Agate, of Broom Hall, 
Horsham ; reserve and highly commended. No. 742, was a nice heifer, hardly 
spread enough, and not as good in the touch as one could wish. This class 
was well represented, and deserved commendation throughout.

Red Polled. 
The old and cumbrous name of Norfolk and Suffolk Polled 
having been dropped since last year's Show, this remarkable 
breed of Eastern England made its first appearance at the 
national Show under its new name of Red Polled. Instead of 
the four classes, two of Bulls, one of Cows and Heifers from the 
usual breeding age upwards, and one of Younger Heifers, as at 
York, where the entries numbered 34, it had this year seven 
classes, containing 44 entries. The changes were effected thus: 
the first class of Bulls, comprising animals of the 2nd, 3rd, 
4th, 5th and 6th year before the year of exhibition, was altered
