Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Cardiff. 
We consider the show of Tlerefords a very good one, both as regards 
numbers and quality ; more than could have been expected, considering the 
large extent to which the Foot-and-Mouth Disease prevailed in Herefordshire 
and the adjoining counties. Our duties commenced with — 
Class 43. Bulls. — We awarded the first prize to No. 464, Bachelor : he is 
an excellent specimen, and only wants a good head to make him perfection. 
His son. Provost, Xo. 466, took second prize. With good character and 
substance, he combines much of his sire's symmetry and excellent flesh. Third 
prize, No. 465, Stout : a massive well-shaped animal, with moderate hair 
and touch. The reserve. No. 468, Dulas, is very large ; and No. 463, Standard 
Bearer, was commended, nnd is a good stock animal. 
Class 44. First Prize, No. 477, Von Moltke, has a grand outline, with good 
character and flesh, and a straight and evenly-covered back ; but he stands 
rather too close on his hind-legs. Second Prize, No. 474, Chanter, is a useful 
bull. A very moderate class. 
Class 45. First Prize, No. 492, The Cheltenham Boy. Large framed, 
with quite first-class character, flesh and hair, capital ribs, broad back, and 
stands well on his legs ; inclined to be rather gaudy over the loin. Second 
Prize, No. 483 Lord Battenhall : square, and straight on his legs ; good back 
and sides; rather bard hair, and not quite good rump. Third Prize, No. 481, 
Prince Joachim : a striking one at a side view ; very deep ; ribs too straight 
to give a broad back ; moderate character, and medium flesh. Eeserved and 
commended. No. 486, Vespasian : a good stock animal. 
Class 46. First Prize, No. 498, Cop Hall : a square, solid, and level grown 
animal, with good character and flesh. Second Prize, No. 502, Eegulus : has 
a straight and good back, excellent flesh and character, but is now slightly 
deficient in depth of body. Eeserve number. No. 495, Marquis of Lorne, 
is a very promising animal, but his points are not yet well developed ; and 
the same may be said of Triumph 4th. 
Class 47. Coivs.- — First Prize, No. 523, Ivington Eose, is a model of beauty, 
symmetry, substance, thick flesh, and high breeding. Second Prize, No. 518, 
Silk 2nd, is a small-framed one, and is remarkable for symmetry, substance, 
good character, and flesh. Third Prize, No. 525, Lady Milton : a grand cow, 
with an evenly covered back and sides ; good flesh and character, but wants 
more width through chest and shoulders. Eeserve number, No. 512, 
Duchess of Bedford 6th : has great sub.stance, with excellent flesh and 
character; but being near her calving time, was not even behind. The 
whole of this class was highly commended, and the best class of their breed. 
Probably four better cows of any breed than the four placed were never seen 
in the same class. 
Class 48. First Prize, No. 534, Sunflower, is a large and deep heifer, with 
great substance and level shape; good flesh and character. Second Prize, 
No. 531, Plum, is remarkably handsome ; but on a small scale as compared 
with No. 534. Tliird Prize, No. 533, Lizzie 2nd, has capital fore-quarters 
and back; medium flesh and character, but too hollow behind the hip. 
Reserve number. No. 532, Countess: a good heifer, but not in her present 
condition so goo(l in front as No. 533 ; she has not a good rump. This was a 
good class, and all were commended. 
Class 49. First Prize, No. 543, Eosaline: remarkable for size, symmetry, 
and good quality. Second Prize, No. 542, Madeline : a large and good one. 
Third Prize, No. 537, Lady of the Teme : excellent flesh and character, but 
a defective hind-quarter. Eeserve number. No. 544, BcUo of the West: 
good character and flesh, but not equal in substance to the prize heifers. 
A good class, and all commended. 
Class 50. First Prize, No. 553, Euby : has good character ; evenly covered 
and compact, but a rather small frame. Second Prize, No. 547, Lady Alice :
