Longhorns. — Eastwell  Emperor,  awarded  the  first  prize  in 
Class  131,  was  a bull  of  very  great  merit,  possessing  all  the 
qualities  which  make  the  breed  so  valuable.  The  second  prize 
animal,  Putley  Regent,  was  a very  promising  young  bull,  of 
large  size,  excellent  quality,  and  even  flesh.  Waddon  Friar, 
awarded  first  prize  in  Class  132,  was  a bull  of  most  excellent 
quality,  symmetry,  size,  and  flesh.  The  second  prize  winner, 
Arden  Premier , is  a very  good  bull,  with  very  thick  and  even 
flesh.  In  Class  133,  the  first  prize  went  to  Bentley  Dido,  a cow 
showing  all  the  most  prized  qualities  of  the  breed.  Putley 
Portia,  the  second,  was  only  inferior  to  the  winner  in  point 
of  size.  In  Class  134,  the  first  prize  was  awarded  to  Arden 
Nora  2nd,  a heifer  of  great  size,  symmetry,  quality,  and  flesh, 
who  looked  like  developing  into  a very  good  cow.  Putley 
Milkmaid,  the  second  prize  winner,  was  a most  beautiful 
heifer,  but  not  quite  so  big  as  the  first  prize  winner.  The 
Judge  highly  commended  the  whole  class,  as  he  considered 
it  the  best  class  of  Longhorns  he  had  ever  seen,  and  showed 
in  a marked  degree  the  progress  the  breed  is  making  in  beauty 
and  utility  of  form  since  the  institution  of  classes  by  the  Royal 
and  other  Societies.  The  Challenge  Cup  was  awarded  to  Lord 
Gerard  for  Eastwell  Emperor,  Mr.  W.  H.  Sale’s  Arden  Nora 
2nd  being  Reserve. 
Sussex. — The  locality  of  the  Show,  no  doubt,  accounted  for 
the  comparatively  small  number  of  entries — twenty-seven,  out 
of  which  eighteen  put  in  an  appearance.  In  Class  136,  the  old 
bull,  Apsley  Liberty,  had  no  trouble  in  winning.  He  is  a bull 
of  great  substance  and  fine  quality.  Class  137  was  headed  by 
Lavington  Gold  1th,  a young  bull  of  considerable  promise. 
In  the  cow  class,  Apsley  Fairy,  a fine  specimen  of  the  breed, 
was  first,  followed  by  Sweet  Pea  10 th.  Class  139  was  generally 
good.  In  Class  140,  Lavington  Nora  2nd,  a nice  heifer,  was 
first,  followed  by  Lynwick  Paley  Mabel,  the  third  going  to 
a heifer  from  the  same  herd,  Lynwick  Anemone. 
Welsh. — The  Welsh  cattle  section  was  not  up  to  the  standard 
of  previous  years,  especially  in  one  or  two  classes,  such  as  the 
two-year-old  bull  class,  where  there  was  only  one  exhibited, 
and  that  of  very  ordinary  quality.  In  the  old-bull  class,  there 
were  some  very  good  animals,  the  first  prize  winner  being  an 
exceptionally  good  bull.  The  female  classes  were  rather  weak 
in  numbers  and  quality,  except  the  first  prize  winner  in  the 
yearling  classes,  which  the  Judge  considers  one  of  the  most 
perfect  specimens  of  a Welsh  beast  ever  shown. 
Red  Poll. — There  was  a strong  class  of  old  bulls,  all  of 
excellent  type,  the  first  and  Champion  being  found  in  Davyson 
297 th.  The  second  and  Reserve  Champion  were  awarded  to  a 
younger  bull,  Acton  Corous,  born  in  1908,  a symmetrical  bull
