356 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Warwick. 
little internal fat ; when cut up the carcase is found to be very 
fleshy, not being the best-looking beef on the butcher's stall. In 
reply to my question at Warwick, " How is it that you have lost 
your size in the long-horn ?" I received a capital retort, viz., "How 
is it that you have lost your size in Leicester sheep? we can 
still make 5 cwt. of cheese per cow from a 20-cow dairy, while 
your Leicester ewes refuse to raise their lambs." I moved on 
to the next class. The subsequent review of the classes will 
best illustrate the names of the competitors. 
Class V. — Bulls of any age. — There were six competitors, all 
of Avhom resided in the county of Warwick. These were chiefly 
of the old dark brindled breed ; they collectively formed a sin- 
gular contrast to tlie " other breeds " around them. The first 
and second prize bulls were of large dimensions, but beyond this 
they did not call for any special commendation. The prize bull 
was exhibited by Mr. Burbery, of the Chase, near Kenilworth, 
who is now one of the leading breeders of the district. The 
second was awarded to Mr. Taverner, of Upton, Nuneaton. 
Mr. Hawke's 2 years and 1 month-old bull was commended. 
Class VL — Pairs of Coios : 6 entries. — This was an interesting 
class, and brought together a fair sample of the long-horned 
milking-cow. Five out of the six pairs were noticed by the 
judges. The prize cows exhibited by Lieutenant-Colonel Inge, 
of Thorpe Constantine, Tamworth, and the second prize cows 
shown by Mr. John Godfrey, of Wigston Parva, Nuneaton, were 
especially good. These cows combined every essential ; they 
were truly majestic in their carriage, with small heads and pecu- 
liarly fine horns, fine coats, and small offal. They were much 
noticed by the public. Mr. Twycross, of Cauley, near Coventry, 
exhibited a pair of splendid cows, which were very properly 
highly commended. A second cow, the property of Mr. Twy- 
cross, was commended ; as were also Mr. J. H. Burbery's cows. 
The prizes given in these classes were well directed by the local 
committee, and so were the open classes for " dairy purposes." 
But the result of the latter classes clearly shows that in all future 
cases where local premiums are offered for " dairy purposes " the 
wording of the classes must be more comprehensive and the in- 
structions to the judges more binding. These premiums in the 
Warwick award were clearly thrown away, i. e. they were not 
given to the class of animals intended by the local committee to 
receive them. 
Houses. — With a view to local good, six special classes were 
opened for horses, viz., four for agricultural purposes, one for 
hunting-horses, and one for entire ponies. Li the four agricul- 
tural classes we had 8 entries for aged stallions, 3 for young 
entire horses, G jiairs of farm-horses, and 5 yearlings. There
