Best Polled Bull of any age. — The Gold Medal to G. D. Badham,

The only remark we shall offer in conclusion is, that we 
never heard fewer dissentients to the awards which were 
made by the judges, nor a more general expression of opinion, 
that from the superiority of all the animals exhibited, their 
task must have been a very difficult one. 
We must, however, add to this that the Prince Consort 
travelled from town purposely to visit the Show, and that 
he spent a considerable time in the yard, and examined with 
much care and interest not only the animals, but everything 
else which was worthy of note. 
The site chosen for the exhibition was a most picturesque 
one, and near to the time-honoured ramparts of Old Sarum, 
which never before had witnessed a scene so beautiful and so 
emblematical of peace and progress as the one they now 
looked down upon. It had been theirs to witness the belted 
knight and the pageants of war, as also the days of supersti- 
tion and religious intolerance, and to retain for years, subse- 
quent to their departure, a strong and iron grasp upon the 
rights, freedom, and independence of the people.
