Report on Live-Stock at Carlisle. 
Mrs. Fothergill's roan " Seraphina " bull came third ; " Lord 
George Hamilton," from Prinknash, made a good fourth. 
Cows in-milk or in-calf above three years old (Class 57) made 
a good entry of 18, displaying size, substance, and character; 
several, however, had their lines of beauty impaired by lumpy 
patchy quarters, and over-feeding. Her Majesty the Queen 
and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales were exhibitors. 
Mr. Teasdale Hilton Hutchinson, of Manor House, Catterick, 
was first, with his seven-year-old " Grateful," of good Booth 
descent, winner at Kilburn, with a gay head, ample bosom 
and barrel, and fair touch ; indeed, as a carcass of beef, excepting 
her lumpy hind-quarters, she is tolerably near perfection, and has 
moreover the faculty of transmitting her own good points to her 
progeny. Four of her relatives were amongst the best in their 
respective classes. Mr. B. St. John Ackers, of Prinknash Park, 
on the thin oolite of the exposed Gloucestershire hills, manages 
to grow hardy prize-winning Shorthorns, and in good company 
took the second place with " Princess Georgie," nearly six 
years old, of Killerby descent, a big useful cow, with a good 
udder, doing herself injustice in carrying her head low, and, like 
so many others, patchy in her hind-quarters. The sister cow, 
" Queen of the Georgians," the pick of the Liverpool Royal, had 
more style and presence than this good matron. Another 
Prinknash prize-Avinner, " Lady Carew 2nd," which was fourth 
at Kilburn, had here to put up with a high commendation ; she 
is, nevertheless, a good big cow, with wonderful quality and 
touch, but is over-trained, and somewhat low in her back. The 
Earl of Tankerville's " Gaiety 3rd " is a long level cow, free 
from patchiness, carries herself well, but is lighter in her fore- 
hand than her more successful compeers. She was first at the 
Highland Society's show at Perth last year, and at Leeds and 
Dorn was preferred to " Grateful," but having been lame and 
lost her hair, she had only the third place at Carlisle. Mr. W. 
Langhorn, of East Mill Hills, came next, with his four-year-old 
" Diadem 2nd," successful at many local shows, and second at 
the Highland Society's Edinburgh Meeting ; a long useful cow, 
rather uneven in her flesh, but testifying what good ones are 
bred in the locality. A very promising useful animal, not four 
years old, and in comparatively low condition, sent by the 
Duke of Northumberland, had the reserve card. Mr. Thomas 
Lambert, another of the successful Northumberland breeders, 
had a highly commended card for " Princess Louise," bred by 
Mrs. Eshton, Chesterwood Grange, Haydon Bridge — whence 
half-a-dozen very good exhibits have been derived — distin- 
guished by her stylish head, wonderful bosom, and good back, 
but prevented taking a better position by her plain rumps.
