The Newcastle Show, 1908.

The first prize in Class 135 (bulls over two years) was awarded 
to the North Wales University College for a grand topped one, 
with plenty of width, called Madryn Madoc 297, his sire being 
the noted bull, “ Madoc." Lord Harlech was awarded second 
prize for Tybor 211, and the Coed Coch Trustees were given 
the Reserve card for Mynach Du. In the junior male class 
(136), Mr. Greaves’ Wern Goalkeeper , a shapely and promising 
youngster, was placed at the head, Mrs. Wynne-Finch coming 
second with Camelot 2nd. In the cow or heifer class (137) 
Madryn Sally 2nd 917 took the first prize to the College, 
and Mr. Greaves’ Abbess 4 th 432, a cow with a well-shaped 
udder, was placed second ; whilst Wern Fortress 739, a heifer 
of grand quality and possessing good outline, was first in the 
three-year-old class (138) for the same exhibitor, the Univer- 
sity College coming second with Madryn Sally 3 rd 922, and 
the Coed Coch Trustees Reserve for Gogledd. The junior 
female class made quite a nice show, and contained some 
animals of great promise, including the winner, Madryn Jet, 
shown by the University College. • 
Red Poll. — These classes were not strong in numbers, but 
the quality on the whole was good. In Class 140 (for old 
bulls) the winner, Davyson 265th 9230, shown by Lord 
Cranworth, was exceptionally good, standing quite by himself, 
and afterwards winning the Male Championship. Of the nine 
animals entered in Class 141 (bulls calved in 1907), only three 
came forward, none of which were of exceptional merit. In 
Class 142 (cows) there were two or three good animals, but 
nothing outstanding. In Class 143 (heifers calved in 1906) 
only four animals entered the ring, the winner, Sir Richard 
Cooper’s Ashlyns Maid 20633, being an outstanding animal, 
easily winning the Championship for the best female. In 
Class 144 (heifers calved in 1907) five came forward, among 
them one or two promising animals. 
Aberdeen Angus. — The classes on the whole were very 
good. The aged bulls (Class 146) were exceptionally strong. 
The three-year-old heifers in-milk were also an excellent lot. 
Cows were good, as were also two-year-old and yearling 
heifers. The two-year-old bulls were the weakest class, but 
a few good yearling bulls were Bhown. 
Galloways. — This breed had been on no previous occasion 
so well represented at the great national show of England, the 
numbers being about double what they have been at any other 
meeting, with the exception of Carlisle, which, of course like 
Newcastle, had the advantage of being close to the home of the 
breed. The quality, too, was up to a high standard, the aged 
bull and the two-year-old heifer classes being, perhaps, most 
worthy of mention, both being particularly well filled, and
