thought a little too soft, but in other respects she was much 
admired. The second cow was also a robust animal. Mr. 
Quartlj's cow was much admired for her quality of flesh and 
style of animal. 
Class V. — Heifei-s in Calf or in Milk : 7 entries. — This was 
a most difficult class to judge. When these 7 heifers were 
paraded before the judges, they formed a most beautiful and 
picturesque group of symmetrical animals. From these the 
judges selected Mr. James Quartly's beautiful heifer, " The 
Gem," as their first choice ; Mr. G. Turner's (of Barton) " Vau- 
dine," as second ; and Mr. E. Pope's (of Great Toller) " Fancy 
the Third," as their third best; and then highly commended 
Mr. Hole's heifer, of Knowle House, Dunster, as also the class 
generally. " The Gem " was also first favourite in the yearling 
class at Chester, and " Vaudine" the second. It is interesting 
to mention that the parents of " The Gem " were both prize 
animals at the Bath Meeting of the West of England Society 
in 1855: her sire, " Napoleon" (259), was first in the young 
bull class, and her dam, " Graceful " (759), was first in the 
in-calf heifer class. The cow " Graceful " subsequently received 
the first prize in the cow class at the Royal Agricultural Society's 
Meeting at Salisbury. Such is the result of pure breeding. 
Class VI. — Yearling Heifers: 9 competitors. — In this class 
we had at least two magnificent heifers, viz., Mr. J. Quartly's 
prize heifer, and the second prize heifer, the property of H.R.H. 
the Prince Consort. Mr. Mildon, Woodington Farm, Devon, 
received the third prize for an excellent heifer closely descended 
from the Quartly stock. A heifer of Mr. J. Quartly's was highly- 
commended. Too much cannot be said of the prize animals ; 
they were constantly admired by the public. As a whole, the 
heifer classes formed the chief attraction amongst the Devons. 
Other Established Breeds. 
Class I. — Aged Bulls ; 6 entries. — These embraced specimens 
of the Sussex, Welsli, Polled Angus, Alderney, and Norfolk 
polled breeds. Colonel Pennant, of Penrhyn Castle, received 
the prize for his black bull " Llewellyn." The Earl of Southesk's 
polled Angus was highly commended, and the Alderney exhibited 
by the Prince Consort commended. 
Class 11. — Young Bulls : 4 entries. The prize was 
awarded to a beautiful Jersey bull, the property of Mr. Turville, 
of Hartley Park. Lord Sondes' polled Norfolk was commendeil. 
Class J 11, — Milhinr/ Cows. — This prize was awarded to the 
Earl of Southesk for his polled Angus cow. Mr. llawkes' long-
