horn was highly commended, and Rev. R. T. Forrester's Alderney

Class IV. — Heifers under 3 years : 3 entries, two polled 
Norfolks and a Sussex. — Lord Sondes' polled Norfolk received 
the prize. 
Class V. — Yearling Heifers : 4 entries. — The Earl of Southesk 
received the prize for a polled Angus. Lord Sondes' polled 
Norfolk was highly commended. These to a certain extent are 
useful classes, as the refuge for the remaining " other breeds ;" 
still they have as yet been wanting in public interest.

Sheep. 
Leicesters. — The leading qualities of the Leicesters are early 
maturity, lightness of offal, aptitude to fatten, and small con- 
sumption of food ; producing consequently a larger amount of 
mutton per acre than any other breed. As improvers of other 
breeds they are invaluable ; indeed, there are but few (if any) 
long-woolled sheep that do not owe something to the Leicester.
