Report on Live-Stock at Carlisle. 
627 
yearling at Liverpool, first at many local exhibitions, and at 
the Bath and West of England this year at Worcester, is a bull 
of great substance and masculine character, plain about his 
rumps, but in much better working condition than some of his * 
competitors. Mr. John Elwell worthily received a high com- 
mendation for his " Bainesse Windsor," a great, good beast, 
rather patchy on his rumps, light in his girth, but the prize- 
winner of the Leamington, Stafford, and Worcester Shows. A 
number of useful bulls, prize-winners on both sides of the 
Tweed, were amongst the unnoticed. The Marquis of Exeter 
failed to forward his pair of " Telemachus " bulls. 
Class 54 — Bulls above two and not exceeding three years old — 
although mustering 18 entries, comprised few first-class animals, 
and several that are below mediocrity. " Prince Imperial," 
belonging to Mr. Thomas Nelson, of Keswick, although re- 
ceiving the premier honours, lacks masculine character and size, 
has his tail set too high, and is weak in his hocks. Mr. W. 
Handley's Milnthorpe bull, " Master Harbinger," made last 
year a triumphant progress, winning seventeen first prizes, in- 
cluding first honours at Kilburn, and eight champion cups. He 
exhibits more size than his successful competitor, is level along 
his top line, girths 8 feet, but, growing fast, is a trifle leggy and 
light in his second-thighs. The third rosette was given to Mr. 
Thomas Willis's " Flag Officer," shown in high condition, 
remarkably good in his fore-chine and girth, but destined to be 
patchy. Mr. Robert Taylor's " Prince Louis," bred by Lord 
Moreton from a good old Sarsden sort well crossed with 
" Duchess " sires, exhibits growth, style, and a capital coat, but 
is light through the heart. 
Yearling Bulls (Class 55) were a goodly collection of eleven, 
led by Mr. Thomas Towneley Towneley-Parker's " Oxford 
Rose," the first-prize bull at Birmingham in March, exhibiting 
a great deal of character and quality. Next followed Mr. David 
Pugh's " Sir Charles," a useful animal, not quite so level or good 
in his shoulders. Mr. S. P. Foster was the winner of the third 
honours with his level, smart, and promising Oxford yearling 
" Oxford Duke of Killhow 2nd," shown in ordinary condition. 
Another bull in low condition, belonging to Messrs. Lazonby, 
with nice hair, was placed fourth. The reserve ticket went to 
Mr. John Outhwaite's " Lord Zetland," a smart yearling, 
wanting in middle piece and hair. The Duke of Devonshire's 
pair of Oxfords were not forthcoming. 
Bull Calves, above six and not exceeding twelve months 
(Class 56), made 10 entries. Mr. T. H. Hutchinson's " Knight 
of Kars ' stood first — a promising calf, with wonderful flank 
and touch. Mr. Strong's level white " Goldsmith " was second.
