The Newcastle Show, 1908. 
1904, 1905, or 1906) was awarded to Mr. F. Hargreaves’ bull, 
Merton Signet 1691. He is a fair lengthy bull of good quality, 
good top and outline, and carries his years well. The second, 
Moss Raider 1871, the property of Lady Tichborne, is a young 
nice topped bull, showing good quality,- but hardly the length 
of the prize winner. In Class 178 (bulls calved in 1907), Mr. 
Hargreaves’ Merton Village Boy 1971, a nice promising bull, 
was placed first. Lady Tichborne’s Ttchen Dairymaid 3268 
was first in Class 179 (cows or heifers, in-milk, calved in or 
before 1905), and is a typical Guernsey cow with a fine bag 
and showing great quality. Felois 4436, exhibited by Mr. 
Hargreaves, which was placed second, is a very good cow but 
shows her age somewhat. There were only three two-year- 
old heifers brought forward in Class 180, Itchen Royal Rose 
2nd 6925, a nice quality heifer, belonging to Lady Tichborne, 
being placed first. Itchen Pearl 5th 6923, belonging to the 
same owner, was second. In Class 181 (yearling heifers), 
Floss 3rd of the Quartiers 7712, the property of Mr. Hargreaves, 
was first. 
Longhorns. — Class 183 contained four bulls and Class 184 five 
cows. There were good specimens - of the breed in both classes. 
Kerries. — As a whole these were an excellent lot of cattle. 
Class 186 (bulls calved in 1903, 1904, 1905, or 1906) contained 
some very fine bulls, especially the first four in the award list. 
Mr. Tillotson’s La Mancha Diver , the first prize bull in this 
class, was eventually awarded the Championship of the breed. 
Class 187 (cows or heifers, in-milk, calved in or before 1905) 
comprised some typical cows, especially those awarded money 
prizes. Included in Class 188 (heifers calved in 1906 or 1907) 
were two very promising heifers, and the Duchess of Newcastle’s 
Hardwick Flora 3rd, the first prize winner, should develop 
into a grand cow. 
Dexters. — With the exception of the prize winners in the 
female classes and two bulls, the exhibits of this breed were of 
only average merit. The first and second prize bulls in Class 
190 (bulls calved in 1903, 1904, 1905, or 1906) were of good 
quality and not too large. His Majesty’s Compton Dolly 
Varden , the first prize cow in Class 191, and the Champion of 
the braed, was a very compact and typical specimen of the 
breed. Only two heifers were exhibited in Class 192. La 
Mancha Marjorie , the winner, also the property of H.M. The 
King, has a very capacious well-shaped udder, and was placed 
Reserve for the Championship. The young heifers in Class 
193 that had calved had generally badly-shaped udders and 
the prizes were awarded to those in-calf. The first prize 
winner, Mapnath Modesty, the property of Mr. R. Tait 
Robertson, was a model of neatness and quality.
