The Newcastle Show, 1908. 
being good specimens of the breed. Class 118 (two-year-old 
heifers) was a small class, but contained good specimens, the 
first prize heifer, Mr. A. E. Hughes’ Lemster Plum, eventually 
winning the Championship. Class 119 (yearling heifers) 
was a good and big class, the first prize heifer being especially 
good. 
Devons. — The Judge found some difficulty in judging 
Class 120 (bulls calved in 1903, 1904, 1905, or 1906) owing to the 
difference in age and type of the animals entered for com- 
petition. He says that as so much depends on the sires used, 
each type received consideration in making the awards in the 
bull classes, for a sire suitable for the rich pastures of Somerset 
would not be considered desirable for the hills of North Devon 
or for the dairy herds of Dorset. The first prize in Class 120 
was awarded to Mrs. A. C. Skinner & Son’s Capton Ploughhoy 
4923, a big, active bull. This animal also secured the Champion- 
ship for the Best Bull. The second was a very level well-made 
bull of North Devon type. Of the yearling bulls (Class 121) the 
winner, Pound Gladiator, also exhibited by Mrs. Skinner & 
Son, was a heavy-fleshed animal with plenty of size, and was 
Reserve Champion. In the cow class (122) the first prize was 
awarded to Mr. T. S. Morgan’s Whimplc Kitty ls£ 19573, a 
well-made, good-fleshed cow, with a fair udder ; she subse- 
quently obtained the Female Championship. The second prize 
winner was a level cow, not so correct in her horns, but with 
a better udder, which, although she had lost a quarter, looked 
like giving more milk than others in this class. The third 
prize cow was a good specimen of the beef type. In Class 123 
(heifers calved in 1906) there were five entries, the first prize 
going to the Hon. E. W. B. Portman for Lady Coot 21647, a 
big, growing heifer, not over-fed, the second prize animal 
being a better-fleshed heifer than the winner. In Class 124 
(yearling heifers) there were four exhibits. The first prize 
was awarded to Mr. Morgan’s Whimple Broadhorn 2nd, a 
good-fleshed heifer. 
South Devons. — Five classes were provided for this breed 
as against three classes at Lincoln in 1907, and the entries, 
which numbered twenty-eight, showed a corresponding increase 
over the fifteen made at Lincoln. The animals exhibited were 
splendid specimens of the breed, and showed great size and 
superior quality. 
Sussex. — This breed was short in numbers, owing no doubt 
to the great distance from its home. All the first prize winners 
were very good specimens, particularly the winners in Classes 
130 and 133. 
Welsh. — The display was small numerically, but several of 
the animals showed very good quality and breed character.
