562 Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Derby. 
baing a splendid joung bull with good flesh and hair, showy, antl 
with a good constitution. Sir William Cajley Worsley's 
massive animal " Hovingham," with great substance, on short 
legs, having excellent flesh, well deserved the second place \ 
and Mr. Wakefield's purple roan " Baron Sedgwick," which 
took third honours, will be heard of another day. 
Only thirteen Calves appeared in the ring out of twenty 
entries, and they must be styled a plain lot, from which the 
Judges, as it appeared to many, failed to pick the best specimen 
for first honours in " Andra del Sarto," a somewhat narrow 
leggy animal, evidently having a delicate constitution, though 
possessing considerable style and quality. The second prize 
was awarded to " Derby," a taking-looking calf of very good 
quality, and the reserve number was given to " Brian Boru," a 
very useful animal, bred by Mr. Rolls, with a good top and 
excellent hind-quarters. 
A better class of Cows, " in-milk or in-calf," has rarely, if 
ever, been previously seen in the Royal or any other Showyard. 
Ten out of fourteen entries put in an appearance, and each was 
noticed in some way by the Judges. " Lady Carew 3rd " is a very 
fine cow, without doubt, and was put first, as at the Bath and 
West of England Show, and at the Essex Show, where she also 
carried off the 100 Guineas Challenge Cup for the best Short- 
horn in the Yard. She is excessively fat, even to disfigurement 
behind, which the Judges term " patchiness," and has a some- 
what stained muzzle, which prevented the Judges at Kilburn, 
from giving her even a commendation ; while " Gainful," put 
first at Kilburn in the same yearling class, was placed third 
at Derby. " Lady Jane " carried off the second prize, beating 
" Gainful " and " Gaiety " — an admirable type of a dairy Short- 
horn — which have both been Royal prize-winners, though " Lady 
Jane " only had a reserve number at Carlisle, and no distinction 
at Kilburn. But she is a good cow, and would probably have 
been put first, but for a wry horn. 
In Class 44, eleven animals were present. The Judges were 
not long in deciding that Mr. Teesdale Hutchinson's " Gratia," 
cast in the mould of " Gainful," should have the red rosette. 
This heifer was shown at Carlisle, but was not distinguished in 
any way, though "Lady Wild Eyes 15th" was put first; and 
" Casquette," only highly commended at Derby, took third prize. 
She has considerably filled out in every way since last year, and 
has a charming head, good colour, and neat form, but has 
hardly size enough. It is almost superfluous to say that 
Lord Fitzhardinge's entry, "Lady Wild Eyes 15th," is a grand 
heifer of wonderful substance and length, and is certain to 
develop into a good cow, but she was not quite in the full
