3, Berks 2, Berwick 2, Monmouth 1, Somerset 1, Westmorland 
1. In addition, Berks and Wilts each secured a champion 
prize. 
The Judges report, “The show of Shorthorns has not 
been surpassed for some few years. There was considerable 
competition in most of the classes, particularly so among the 
females.” Of the old bulls (Class 56) there was nothing to 
command attention beyond the prize animals. The champion 
male Shorthorn was found in Class 57 in Mr. J. Deane Willis’s 
Czaroiuitz, but in the bestowal of this honour the assistance of 
the umpire was sought. Whilst Class 58 provided a strong 
competition, it produced “no animal of a leading character.” 
Amongst the bull calves (Class 59) were “ a few very choice 
animals.” 
The old cows did not give vise to any very strong competi- 
tion. The Shorthorn female champion prize was given to 
Her Majesty the Queen’s Bouquet, a three-year-old cow “which 
showed good dairy properties.” The two-year-old heifers (Class 
62) included some beautiful animals, “ one of which contested 
very closely for the championship.” The strongest competition 
was in Class 63, yearling heifers, “ which contained many 
splendid animals and required the utmost thought and care in 
making the awards.” 
Herefords. — Fifty entries were made from 7 counties in 
England, and 2 in Wales, thus : Hereford 21, Worcester 11,
