Red  Polled  and  Aberdeen  Angus  Cattle.

Aberdeen  Angus. — The  entries  numbered  twenty-nine  in 
four  classes.  The  Judge  reported  that  “the  older  class  for 
bulls,  although  not  large  in  numbers,  comprised  a few  very 
meritorious  animals — in  fact,  the  three  leading  animals  would 
have  stood  well  forward  in  any  show'  of  the  breed.”  The 
younger  class  of  bulls  w'as  not  so  good,  and  there  w'ere  few,  if 
any,  outstanding  animals  in  it.  This,  in  a measure,  might  be 
accounted  for  by  the  fact  that  many  Hrst-class  bulls  w'ere 
practically  excluded  by  the  age  limit.  The  cow  classes  were 
small,  but  very  good.  Heifers  were  a large  class,  but  w'ere 
not  so  meritorious  as  the  cows.  Mr.  R.  W.  Hudson  gained 
both  the  Male  and  Female  Championships,  with  his  tw'o-year-old 
bull,  Knight  of  Danesfield,  and  his  cow.  Effulgent  of  Danesfield, 
a portrait  of  the  latter  being  given  opposite  as  Fig.  b.  The 
Reserve  Champion  bull  was  Wizard  of  Maisemore,  shown  by 
Mr.  J.  J.  Cridlan,  and  the  Reserve  Champion  cow  was  Darling 
of  Haynes  2nd,  showm  by  Mr.  W.  B.  Greenfield. 
Galloways. — The  four  Galloway  classes  contained  thirty-one 
entries,  and  the  wdiole  made  a most  creditable  display.  The 
aged  bulls  (Class  113)  were  four  very  fine  animals,  more 
especially  the  two  first.  These  “ would  be  hard  to  beat  in  any 
showyard.”  The  young  bulls  (Class  114)  w'ere  of  fair  average 
quality.  The  cows  in-milk  (Class  115)  w'ere  very  good,  particu- 
larly the  first  three,  which  w ere  of  quite  outstanding  excellence. 
The  heifers  (Class  llfi)  made  a very  fine  class,  the  two  first 
animals  being  of  high  merit. 
Highland. — The  class  for  bulls  had  to  be  cancelled  owing  to 
insufficient  entries.  The  four  animals  exhibited  in  Class  118, 
for  cows  or  heifers  in-milk,  were  of  good  quality,  but  with  “no 
animal  of  outstanding  merit  amongst  them.” 
Ayrshires. — These  likewise  consisted  of  only  female  animals, 
the  male  class  being  cancelled.  The  entries  numbered  seven, 
and  were  excellent  as  a whole,  the  prize  winners  being  of  great 
merit. 
Jerseys. — As  last  year,  this  breed  had  seven  classes  allotted 
to  it.  The  entries  numbered  152,  as  compared  with  18G  in 
1903.  The  Judge  reported  that  the  first  and  second  prize 
winners  in  Class  121,  bulls  calved  in  1900  or  1901,  were 
excellent  iii  every  way,  and  that  the  third  prize  and  reserve 
number  were  two  very  useful  animals,  but  the  class  on  the 
whole  was  not  an  especially  good  one.  Class  122,  for  two-year- 
old  bulls,  W'as  better  ; the  first  prize  animal  “ showed  quality 
and  style  ” and  was  “ quite  of  the  right  shape.”  The  class
