The Cambridge Meeting, 1894. 
Essex 6, Salop 6, Hertford 2, Berks 1, Norfolk 1, Brecon 1, 
Cardigan 1. Of the 18 class prizes, Hereford secured 10, 
Worcester 4, Salop 2, Essex 1, and Norfolk 1. 
“ The Herefords on the whole were good, especially the 
younger classes of bulls and heifers. Class 67 (yearling bulls), 
Class 70 (two-year-old heifers), and Class 71 (yearling heifers) 
all contained animals of exceptional merit.” 
Devons. — The West Country cattle, though far from home, 
mustered 25 entries, to which Devon contributed 10, Somerset 
10, Berks 2, Cornwall 2, Norfolk 1. Of the 12 class prizes, 6 
went to Somerset, 4 to Devon, 1 to Berks, and 1 to Cornwall. 
Aged bulls were a good class, and the first prize animal 
was “ far above the avei'age.” In Class 73, two-year-old bulls, 
no difficulty was felt in awarding the first prize. The cows 
(Class 75) made up “ a vex-y meritorious class.” The two-year- 
old heifers were “ short in numbers but good in quality.” In 
the yearling class the first pi’ize went to a heifer “ of grand 
shape and quality.” 
Sussex. — The heavy cattle of the Weald Clays “ were well 
represented throughout as to number and quality.” To the 
total of 52 entries Sussex contributed 29, Suri’ey 12, and Kent 
11. The 17 class prizes went, 7 to Kent, 5 to Surrey, and 5 to 
Sussex. 
In the aged bull class the premier position was assigned to 
“ a compact bull of great quality.” In the two-year-old class 
the first prize went to a bull “ of good quality, and neat.” The 
yearling bulls made up “ a very useful class.” Of the Sussex 
females, the two-year-old heifers constituted “ an extraordinary 
class of great quality.” 
Welsh. — Eleven entries in this section comprised 4 from 
Carnarvon, 4 from Merioneth, 2 from Denbigh, and 1 from 
Anglesey. Of the 9 class prizes, Carnarvon and Merioneth 
each took 4, and the remaining one went to Denbigh. The 
Judges say : — 
The Welsh cattle classes, as a whole, although the exhibits are few in 
number — owing no doubt to the distance of Cambridge from the Principality 
— w 7 ere up to the average in point of quality and, in our opinion, quite 
worthy of the prizes awarded. The aged bull class was exceptionally good. 
Red Polled. — At a centre so near to the home of the charac- 
teristic breed of East Anglia a large display was reasonably to 
be expected, and there were as many as 59 entries in the 
Catalogue. Of these, Norfolk entered 41, Suffolk 11, Herts 3, 
Essex 2, Cambridge 1, and Surrey 1. Of the 20 class prizes, 
Norfolk secured 17, including all the firsts, besides the two
