Captain George Ashby-Ashbj's four-year-old " Innocence," so 
successful in many shovvyards, retains her style and good hair, 
but her training has developed patchiness. Mr. James Whyte's 
three-year-old " Stanwick Rose " was also deservedly honoured 
with a highly commended card. The Duke of Richmond's 
" Chief Lustre," the second heifer at Kilburn, was here deemed 
only worthy of a commendation ; whilst Mr. D. Pugh's " Czarina 
12th," third at Kilburn, and Her Majesty's " Cawlina 9th," the 
reserve number of last year, received no notice at Carlisle. 
Heifers in-calf or in-milk, not exceeding three years old 
(Class 58), made a first-rate parade of thirteen good animals. 
First in merit came Mr. T. H. Hutchinson's " Gainful, " daughter 
of his prize cow, but bigger and wealthier, with better hind- 
quarters, and retaining much of the quality which distinguished 
her as the prize yearling of 1879. More compact, but smart, 
neat, and level, a little bare over the top and front of the 
shoulders, is Mr. William Langhorn's " Lady Anne " (half-sister 
to his prize cow), first at Barmpton, Berwick, and the County 
Carlisle of last year, second to " Gainful " at Perth, and taking 
the same position here. Mr. Pugh's " Tulip 4th," easily first 
at the Bath and West of England at Worcester, came third ; 
her want of levelness being in part compensated for by 
her sweet head, kindly touch, and wonderful loin and flank. 
Mr. James Whyte stood fourth with a useful young heifer, 
" Gaiety 6th," not in high condition, first last year at the 
Highland Society's Perth Show. " Sweet Pea," the property of 
Mr. Evan Baillie, of Dochfour, had the reserve ticket, but is 
deficient in growth and hair. Lord Polwarth and Mr. Thom, 
Penrith, had high commendations. 
Yearling Heifers, above one and not exceeding two years old 
(Class 59), the largest and one of the best of the Shorthorn 
classes, presented a brilliant galaxy of symmetry, style, and 
beauty. Lord Fitzhardinge contributed the pair of charming 
heifers which attracted so much attention last year at Kilburn, 
which maintain their good qualities, and undoubtedly testify to 
the value and impressive power of their 4500-guinea sire, the 
" Duke of Connaught." The red-and-white " Wild Eyes " 
heifer, winner at Kilburn, also at this year's Bath and West of 
England and Yorkshire Shows, leaves little to be desired. 
Running her very close was " Dowager 2nd " of the " Dar- 
lington " tribe, also very level and symmetrically moulded, with 
hind-quarters, hair, and touch even more perfect than those of 
her more successful companion. Third honours, after much 
consideration, and in the midst of a disturbing storm of rain, 
were awarded to Mr. Jonathan Peel's " Casquette," with a sweet 
head, well-rounded bosom, grand ribs and back, but plain in
