SATURDA) , DEC. 12, 1885.

first prize of ft ereford steers above three and not ex-
ceeding four years is given to the executors of the
late Mr. John Ford, efsi the second, precisely as at
Birmingham, to Mr. Fri. tcrick Platt, while the third
goes to Mr. R. S. Ovcr. In female Herefords
the Earl of Coy wry is a noted exhi-
bitor. His lordship as at Bingley Hall, is
second in the heifer class, Mr. Lewis Loyd
being first. But Lord Coventry takes also a
third prize with a heifer, Ladylove, which was not
placed by the Birminehem judges. In the class for
cows that have calved his lordship stands first,:the
same as at Bingley Tian, Mr. Rees Thomas coming
second. The third prize is given to Lord Coventry
for another animal which was second at Birmingham.
The Shorthorns are a mush better lot than appehred
in the great show of tee midlands; and this, perhaps,
may find proof in the feet thet the highest prizes in
that competition are lowered here. For instance,.
the young shorthorn steer which has gained for Sir
John Swinburne, Bart., M.P., merely high- commen-
dation and the reserve number, at Islington, was first
in his class at Bingley Hall. Here he has-
hed to compete with heists that gain first and second
prizes for Mr. Hugh Gorringe, and a third
prize for Mr. James S. Bult. In the same class
the Prince of Wales and Lord Tredegar
hibit, but are passed wished, commendation or notice.
The next class for shorthorntsteers above two and not,
exceeding three years of age is marked by a very de-
cided reversal. Mr. Robsrt Wortley's beast, which, at
Birmingham, was secoed to the Queen's, is here first;
and her Majesty's, haviee been first at Bingley Hall,.
drops into the third place, Mr. Arthur Longman
taking second prize. Inasmuch as Mr. Harry Bullard,
M.P., who stood third in this class at Birmingham, is
here only commended, and placed below the reserve
number steer bred and exhibited by Mr. James
Bruce, of Inverquhomery. it is evident that there has
been a severe shaking-up of the Birmingham
awards. The chanees, however, are generally
approved by critical observers at Islington. In
the oldest steer class, Mr. James Bruce takes first and
second prizes, Mr. T. F. Kynnersley-Gardner third,
and Mr. John Overman the reserve. As at Birming-
ham, her Majesty takes the first prize in the shorthorn
heifer class with a very heavy beast, topping 19cwt.,
and stands reserve for the breed cup. Mr. David
Pugh is second, and Mr. Hugh Gorringe third. The
most remarkable divergence from Birmingham deci-
sions will be seen in the last of the shorthorn classes,
the cows above four years, that have had at least one
calf. Here, the 'Marquis of Exeter takes the
first prize with a remarkably fine beast, beauti-
fully marked, and named -on that account, Cora-
line. At Birmingham she was not noticed at all.
Mr. J. J. Dunnington-Jefferson's fine white Cowslip-
is second, the third prize being ,awarded to Mr. R. K.
Wright. High commeedetion and the reserve number •
console Mr. James Bolt for being disappointed of any
prize for his cow which won the first prize of her class.
at Birmingham, but there is nothing to sweeten the
lot of Sir John Swinburne, who, having been second
at the former show, finds himself here in the same
position which Lord Exeter held at Bingley
that is to say, wholly disregarded and ignored.
First prizes are taken in the Sussex classes by Mr.
John Leighton Wade Theinett, Mr. Thomas AlbertVickress, and Mr. William Stewart Forster, the.
breeder and exhibitor first-named being twice success-
ful, but missing the silver cup, which is taken by Mr.
John Kirkpatrick, winner of the first prize in the
class for steers above two and not exceeding three years-
old. Mr. W. S. Forster, Mr. Alfred Agate, Mr.
Vickress, and Mr. Stewart Oxley are the seem, a-prize'
men, and the third grad e awards are distributed among'
Mr. J. Stewart Hodgson, Mr. C. H. Page, Mr. W. B.
Waterlow, and Mr. F. A. Montefiore, the reserve'
number as the accompaniment of high commenda-
tion resting with the Duke of Edinburgh. In the
Red polled breed, the competition lay chiefly among
Mr. John T. Baker, Lord Hastings, Mr. John
Hammond, Mr. J. J. Coleman, M.P., Mr. R. E.
Lofit, and Mr. Harry Bullard, M.P., who divided the
prizes, Lord Hastings taking the breed cup. This
trophy, in the Welsh class, fell to Colonel Henry
Platt, of Bangor, who took both first and second
prizes. In the division of Scotch cattle there is, as if
in honour to the President. of the Smithfield Club, Sir
W. G. Gordon - Cumtning, Bart., an extraordinary
array, among which has been found the champion of
the showyar'd, a beast that forestalled her London
triumph by victory at Birmingham. In the Highland
breed, prizes are carried off by the Duchess of Suther-
land, Earl Cawdor, the Duke of Buccleuch, and Sir
John Swinburne, Bart., M.P.; the Prince of Wales, the
Duke o' Athole, Lord Mowbray and Stourton, Mr. T.
Dawson Brodie, and Mr. John Clegg being unsuc-
cessful exhibitors. The polled Aberdeen or Angus
and Galloway breed follows in greater force. Her
Majesty the Queen contributed a steer and a heifer,
neither of which take a prize though the first is
highly commended, and receives the reserve number.
Mr. George Wilken, in the class for steers not ex-
ceeding two years old, is first and reserve, Sir W. G.
Gordon-Cumming second, and Mr. Clement Stephen-
son third. These two latter awards are exactly Tea
peated in the next or older class, the first prize ifl
which has gone to Mr. W. Bruce Greenfield. There-
were only two entries for steers over three and not"
exceeding four years, Mr. Charles Emmerson
John'Cridlan dividing first and second prizes. In the
female class, as already stated, is the champion beast.-
of the present show, Mr. Clement Stephenson havirfg-
"pupated his Birmingham victory. Sir W. G.Gordon---
~
Cunnteeg is fig2,lll second, and, for special meritssi.s
also awarded a fourth prize. Mr. R. O. Farquharses
being third, and the Earl of Airlie reserve.
In the Cross-bred cattle, an important division.,
well represented this year, is the most formidable
opponent which Mr. Stephensou's Aberdeen heifer '
encountered in the final and crowning judgment.
Mr. Robert Loder's Norwich champion, reserved for
the same honour at Birmingham, was the pick of the
cross-bred steers which came on Monday into closest
competition for the palm. Mr. Clemect Stephenson
is a moderately successful exhibitor in the cross-bred
classes as well as in the Scotch cattle* so is the '
Duchess of Sutherland., her grace taking another first
prize, with"os crdss-bred steer. 'Hertlajesty likewise •
favours the cross-breds, as does the Prince of Wales, •
and each of the Royal exhibitors is wineer of b thiM
prize. Mr. Robert Wright, Mr. William Bruce
Greenfield, Mr. James Stephen, Mr. John Cr-idlers,
Mr. Owen C. Wallis, Mr. Charles W. Schroeter,
Mr. William Tasker, Lord Tredegar, and Mr. Jebn
Tait are all distinguished in the prize-list of this
division.

It was doubtful whether the champion prize for
sheep would fall among the Southdowns, despite their '
excellence, or the Oxfordshire Downs—a magnificently
represented breed, eminent in the abundance both of
flesh and wool. When the various winners of breed "
cups in the sheep pens were brought together, with
their red and white rosettes, they formed a pretty
row, and one that taxed the discernment and
firmness of the judges. Then it was that the
Southdowns, beautiful in quality, seemed yet some-
what small. The Leicesfershires, on the other hand;
looked like mere bags of fat—a breed, seemingly', •
that must sooner or later die out for want of
flesh-tissue. Very goed form was shown by the: -
Hampshire or West Country Downs; and some of the.
Cotswold sheep and lambs, though not all, were fine
specimens. These and the Lincolns showed among':
them some astonishing fleeces, such as made breeders
and shepherds sigh to think that wool is only 9d. a
pound. Though the Oxfordshire sheep, Mr. Albert •
Brassey's in particular, looked very much as if theY
would from among them furnish the most deserving
of the champion prize, the minds of the judges were '
set on the more patrician breed. Supported as it "
was by magnificent contributions from the Prince
of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of
Richmond and Gordon, the Marquis of Bristol; -
the Earl of Suffolk, Lord Alington, Mr. J. J.,'
Colman, M.P., Mr. Hugh Penfold, Mr. [raga
Gorringe, Mr. Henry Upton, Mr. Alfred Heastnan, -
Mr. Edward Ellis, Mr. Henry Arthur Brassey, and
Mr. William Toop, it would certainly have been hard
if the most noted English breed, the Southdown, he 4
not, after all, surpassed any other in distinction 4.'
the Smithfield Club Show. It was, then, to, the'"'
Prince of Wales that the champion plate for the best
pen of three sheep or lambs was awarded, his Royal
Highness winning by virtue of his perfect specimens;
twenty-one months old, bred at Sandringham.
The Royal visit was paid on Monday as promised;
the Duke of Edinburgh coming about an hour befdra
the Prince of Wales, who had been delayed 'IV a'

ANOTHER IRISH BAILIIF STRIPPRP.,.;,
AND BEATEN.
A report from Lismore on Saturday, days on
mountainous district of A.ragher, and in the oar°
locality where the bailiff Tobin was so brutally •
war .
dared a few days ago, another bailiff has been di;
gracefully treated and beaten, but fortunately escaPe' '
with his life. The bailiff was serving writs on solar
tenants who refused to pay their rents unless the rr
duction of 30 per cent, which they demanded voia
allowed them. As soon as he was seen crossing
the foot of Galtee Mountains, which he thongn'
would have concealed him, word was immediatebr
sent around to the people, Horns were blown •
through the district, and the people 'gave Chan
to the bailiff, who ran away by the mountain ,7
quickly as he mild in the direction of Ballyan
where there is a police barrack. The bailiff, fearult,
that his pursuers would overtake him, threw awaY
writs in a ditch; and then, thinking that he could no
be identified with writ serving, he allowed his Puir;
suers to overtake him. The crowd attacked hinl,4
a shameful manner, and searched and beat him.
man was not known to be a bailiff, and though sour'
the
captured he had none of the writs on his personcrowd would not believe but that his mission was toe
,
writs. They accordingly divested him of his clot,
and left him in a state of perfect nudity to make:l;
way into Ballyduff. The weather being very coldfi
man was almost perished to death. The poliA3
it impossible to obtain information in the dist t
regards the perpetrators of the murder of Tobin or
assistants of the bailiff. •
