Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Derby. 565 
other are more capable of being nicely blended than the very 
long horns and the short horns. They make nicer-looking- 
cattle." It struck many who saw the Herefords at Derby judged 
and led round the ring each day that there was scarcely an 
indifferent animal among them, though the Judges are hardly 
satisfied with them as a whole, and perhaps, taking them all 
round, they did not quite come up to the usual standard. 
In the Old Bull Class, Mr. Turner's excellent even bull, 
"Pirate," took the first prize, beating Mr. Taylor's aged 
"Thoughtful," as he did at the Bath and West of England 
Show at Tunbridge Wells. " Thoughtful " took a first prize 
at Bristol in the Old Bull Class, a second at Kilburn, a second 
at Carlisle, and a first prize as a two-yearling at Liverpool, and 
a first prize as a yearling at Birmingham. It is to be hoped 
that this veteran will now retire from the " gay and busy scene 
of the Royal Showyard, full of honours and dignities. The 
Judges gave the third prize in this class, though there were only 
three animals to the fore. 
" Trafalgar," belonging to Mr. Taylor, was first in the Two- 
Yearling Bull Class, beating " Horace 4th," which was second at 
Carlisle as a yearling, while " Trafalgar " only had the reserve 
number. This decision at Derby agrees with that of the Judges 
at the Tunbridge Wells Show. There were only two bulls in 
this class. 
It is satisfactory to find a new exhibitor of Herefords in Mr.. 
Rees Keene, who took the first and second honours in the 
Yearling Bull Class with " Reward " and " Return," most 
promising animals. The former of these took first honours at 
Tunbridge Wells. 
Mr. Carwardine took both prizes in the Bull Calf Class, in 
which there were some very superior calves, with " Sir Bartle 
Frere " and " Romeo," both admirable examples of what calves- 
should be, beating Mr. Turner's " Rudolph " and Mr. Fenn's- 
" Downton Hero," though the Judges at Tunbridge Wells had 
put the latter before " Romeo. 
The Old Cow Class was represented by four animals, all of 
good form and type. Mr. Taylor's " Modesty " was first, and 
Mr. Fenn's " Maid of the Teme " second ; and the third prize 
was given to Mr. Myddleton's " Sally 3rd," as the Judges con- 
sidered her a very good specimen. Mr. Piatt's " Lady 3rd " had 
a walk over in Class 52. She is a superb heifer, with a superior 
touch, and was placed second at Tunbridge Wells in a class of 
two. Mr. Carwardine took the first prize for Yearling Heifers 
with " Pretty Face," a splendid heifer, handling well, with a 
beautiful head and perfect shape. Mr. Taylor's " Lorna Doone " 
was second, also an admirable heifer, which, however, was only
