those exhibited in former years, both as regards number of 
entries and uniformity of the type. 
Red Poll. — Class 159 was an excellent one of cows, all 
showing well-formed udders. In this class was found the 
female Champion, a very large beast of fine quality (see 
Fig. 15). The first and second prize winners in Class 160 
were of exceptional merit, and the class as a whole was good. 
Class 161 was the best of the Red Poll classes, numbering 
thirteen entries, of which four were particularly promising 
animals. Two outstanding good bulls were exhibited in 
Class 162, viz., a four-year-old and a two-year-old, winning 
first and second respectively, and afterwards awarded the 
Male Championship (see Fig. 16) and Reserve for same. 
Class 163 contained nine yearling bulls, in which nothing 
of particular merit could be found ; in fact, the class was not 
quite up to the usual standard of quality. Taken collectively 
the Red Polls were the finest representation of the breed that 
the Judge has ever had the pleasure of judging at the R.A.S.E. 
Aberdeen Angus. — The general quality of the exhibits was 
good, and with the exception of tw r o-year-old heifers the classes 
were well filled. A good proportion of the animals shown 
were outstanding, and it is worthy of note that the leading 
exhibits in three of the classes took the same position in much 
stronger competition the following week at the Scottish 
National Show. The breeding cows comprised a nice class of 
typical animals, and the one-year-old heifers were excellent. 
The aged bulls presented a fine appearance — with not a weak 
one amongst them — while the leader was one of the best 
specimens that has been seen for years. The two-year-old 
bulls were also very uniform and good, the first prize one 
being a large wealthy specimen of more than ordinary 
excellence. The yearlings comprised a mixed class of useful 
bulls with nothing outstanding amongst them ; still, quite a 
creditable exhibition. 
Taken altogether the show of Aberdeen Angus cattle at 
Bristol was one with which the breeders and fanciers of that 
breed had every reason to be satisfied. 
Galloways.- — As a whole these were exceedingly good. Cows 
in milk made a level good class. Class 172 was a very fine 
one ; the first and second exceedingly good heifers. Class 173 
was one of the best in the females ; first, second, and third 
were very fine heifers. Class 174 was the best of the Galloway 
section, every animal in it being good — the first and second 
were especially so. A level good lot of young bulls were 
found in Class 175. 
Highland. — Only two representatives of the breed were 
present — both bulls — which the Judge states were “good.”
