Longhorn , Kerry , and Dexter Cattle. 
65 
Longhorns. — Class 147 contained useful animals, but 
nothing special. In Class 148, for yearlings, the first prize 
bull “looks like growing into a good animal.” Class 149, 
for cows or heifers, included some good specimens of the 
breed, and the first prize heifer in Class 150 “ should grow into 
a good animal.” 
Kerries and Dexters. — The Judge remarks that he has never 
seen a better lot of the Kerry and Dexter breeds or better 
brought out. The Challenge Cup for the best Kerry animal 
was gained by the Duchess of Newcastle with a heifer, 
Hardwick Flora , the Reserve being the same exhibitor’s 
La Mancha Gordon , which gained the Cup in 1904. The 
Challenge Cup for the best Dexter animal exhibited was 
awarded to Mr. Godfrey Chetwynd for his bull, Don Gentian , 
and the Reserve Number fell to the Duchess of Devonshire, for 
Compton Dot. 
Butter and Milk-yield Tests. — These are the subject of a 
special report by the Steward (see page 93). 
Sheep. 
Sheep showed a satisfactory increase in the numbers 
exhibited, the entries totalling 591, as against 525 in 1904 and 
571 in 1903. The Southdowns were again the most numerous, 
with 104 entries.
