beast in the Cattle classes. If any fault is to be found with him 
it is perhaps that he is too pretty, antl somewhat wants masculine 
character. Mr. George Turner's " Aqualate " was put second, but 
with the exception of his chest, he is plain all over, and bare on 
his chine and back. Mr. W. R. Fryer's " Shamrock," first at the 
Devon County and at the Worcester Bath and West of England, 
and only four weeks over age for the yearling class, and ten 
months younger than his rivals, should, perhaps, have been 
second. He is a useful well-formed bull, with good flesh, but 
a little drooping in his hind-quarters. Five animals not being 
forwarded, no third prize was awarded, occasioning, as in the 
Hereford classes, the remark that losses at recent Meetings 
make the Society provokingly careful of their prizes. Of Bulls 
between one and two years old (Class 71), out of four entries the 
two which put in an appearance were only of medium merit. 
Bull-calves (Class 72) were much better than the yearlings, and 
showed a good deal of character and quality. Mrs. Langdon's 
" Duke of Flitton 15th " was first : a compact, stylish, well- 
made-up calf, a little narrow and drooping in his hind-quarters. 
Mr. Walter Farthing's " Prettyface's Duke " is of larger frame, 
not quite so well made up, and a trifle flat on the rib, but looks 
like growing into a useful animal. 
A massive, level, excellent specimen of the Devon, and 
characterised by the Judges as " almost perfection," is Mrs. 
Maria Langdon's " Temptress 8th," second in the corresponding 
class at Kilburn, when Mr. W. Farthing's " Prettyface " won the 
champion cup, worth 50/. " Prettyface 2nd," from the champion 
matron, level and stylish although she is, and the best three-year- 
old at Kilburn, does not maintain her mother's pride of place, 
and both here and at the Bath and West of England, was second 
to " Temptress 8th." Mr. Fryer's highly commended " Azalea " 
is compact, level, well covered with good flesh, and quite deserving 
the third prize. 
Amongst Heifers not exceeding three years old (Class 74), 
Mr. Walter Farthing's " Famous 2nd," as at the Worcester Bath 
and West of England Show, was first — deep, square, of great 
substance, a little coarse in her horn, but improved since she 
stood second as a yearling at Kilburn. Mr. Fryer's two exhibits 
are of very nice quality, but too small. With Yearling Heifers 
Mr. Walter Farthing came again first with " Famous 3rd," a 
wonderfully smart, deep, level, good-shaped one, with a splendid 
head ; first winner at Worcester, and first at Kilburn as a calf. 
Mr. Fryer's " Fuchsia " was a very good second. The five Heifer 
Calves made a pretty group. Mr. Fryer's " Daphne " was first 
— neat, ladylike, and well made up, but a trifle too short. 
Mr. Farthing was second with " Lady Currypool 2nd," a deep,
