SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.

The Smithfield Club fat cattle show opened on Mon-
day morning. The cattle entries stitcher • few less
than last veer, bat are shove the average of several years
past. The quality of the animals exhibited is good.
On this occasion we have to signalise the triumph of the
cross-bred. in the male class's, and of the shorthorns
for "the Lady's Cap," this being the second time that
• crosabred ox has so far surpassed every male among
the pure breads as to over-balance all the advantages of
blood and "good looks." The Gold Medal to the breeder
of the best steer or ox in any of the classes, was awarded
to Mr. Cowie, Crombly Bank, Ellen, Aberdeen, for an
ox belonging to Mr. H. H. Harris, of Earn-hill, Forms,
Morayshire. This is a cross between shorthorn and
Scotch-polled, apparently of three -fourths shorthorn
blood, or, at any rate, distiognished from pure shorthorn
only by a general roundingloff of contour and a lack of
general beauty and of the finest character of bead. This is
unquestionably one of the moat wonderful animals
ever exhibited. Is describing him we can only he.
together epithets of magnitude end dimensions, such
as length, breadth, depth of frame, onteerinffing ribs,
hips a fell yard agrees, a back so level and spacious, that
you might "play • game at cards on it," a tail well .at
on, thighs full, breast-end and fore-quarter extremely
good; the flab handles to perfection, Arm and of the
right texture; the hair is fine and sufficiently plentiful,
the colour red with the or two white spot.; the head
and horn are tree from °gameness. the eye full and of
mild expresdion. If there be • weak point, it is that
the flank does not fill your band will, and verhaps the
bone may be • trifle too strong, although this is an
immensely heavy beast His girth is astouishing, being
no lees than 101 t. 41n., or Tin, more than that of Mr.
Stewart's great cross-bred io 1862; more than that a
the gold-medal shorthorn ox of Mr. Edward Wortley
several year. ago, and encompassed by a tape
only ten inches shorter than the girdle of the
king of all shorthorns, the famous "13orhain Ox.'
The gold medal in the female competition was awarded
to Mr. Richard Stratton, of Walls Court, Bristol, for
his roan cow "Diadem," inheriting both Bates and
booth bloot a woudeifelly fine animal, will-filled out
in evey part, exceedingly handsome, and Oft. 41n. in
girth. The cattle classes, air a whole, are rather better
than usual ; certainly we find fewer "gaudy" specimens
—fewer animals disfigured by too meth fat. The
adorn are Ices in number than usual, but are marked
by very general excellence. Mr. Walter Farthing, of
Stormy court, Bridgwater, an °seal, chows cone capital
animals of this breed, bat they are, so a whole, smareely
up to the mark of pre riot's years. Oue exception should
be made to this statement in the case of a steer, kiir
years and eight month,' old, which takes the first prize of
£3O in clean 3. It bad the honour of being Ulla of the
last three in the final sifting for the silver medal for
the best deer in the yard. It is a b autiful enimal.
with • re-at well set head, beck broad end rod
coal quarters, but it is a little loose about the
abouldem. Amongst other exhibitors of thin breed
were the following in our district: Mr. Harry Frames
ton, of Blandford—a steer 2 years and five months,
hr.! by Mr. It. B. Warren. of Child Oka:era—a two
years and ten months steer bred by blr. J. A. Smith, of
Bradford Pererell ; and another 3 years and 10 months
old bred by the Lord Portman, Bryanstone : C. Hambro.
Esq ,of Milton Abbey—a steer aged 2 year. and 4
months, bred by himself: Mr. J. H. Benjaield,
if Gillingham—a heifer aged .3( years, bpd by
Mr. O. Marshall. of Wembdon, Bridgwater :
Mr. W. Taylor, of Harptree Court: Mt. W. Smith, at
Higher Hooper., Exeter: Mr. R. Farthing, of Bridg-
water. The Herefords are neither so numerous nor
do they attain to so high a standard of szeellenos as we
have been thoustomed to see at these shows. They,
however, run very even, and some of them are certainly
very fine 1111431.10. Mr. W. Godwin, of Fast fitower,
Gillingham. exhibited • cow five years and eight months
old. The Shorthorns, those pets of mo-t feeders, are
lees numerous, bat are very good. especially the heifers.
In addiction to the sinner of one of the gold cups, Mr.
J. S. Bait, of Dedhil House. Kingston, Taunton; and
the Duke of Beaufort, of liadmington, Wilts, were
exhibitors from this district. Of the Sussex breed little
nerd be said. They are as usual neat close-looking
animals, favourites with the butcher. The Scotch
horned breeds and the Scotch polled breeds are only
lightly represented, an far as numbers go. There are,
however, some exceedingly good animals in the show.
The Welsh breeds require no particular notice. The
class only contained four animals, all steers, and none
of them are in any way remarkable. Not • single
specimen of the Irish breeds is exhibited. The cross-
breeds, as • whole are the finest animals in the exhibi-
tins. In the extra dock of cattle Mr. Walter Farthing
of Stowey Court, Bridgwater, Somerset, carries
off the silver medal for a very beautiful Devon.
This other animals, however, in DO way sail
for special remark. The sheep pens present
rather a bare appearance. Nearly one-fourth of them
sic vacant. There are, however, some very fine
specimens of the earioun breeds, and, we are disposed to
thiek, less than usual of the toilet making, which while
insuring to the animal a fair *reference, in no way
improves its quality. Lord Walsinghatu takes off the
leer cup foe the best pen of South downs. Lord
ll.rners parries off the slyer sup for the best pen el
Leicester& Mr. John Overman, of Burnham Suttee,
takes s silver cup for the beat pen of crosebreals—
Leicester* and Sonthdowns. The Mountain breed has
only few representatives, but they are very capital
specimens. The piper* located in the minor hall, and
we do not remember to have seen a finer collection of
these animals on any precious occasion. All of them
come up to a rare standard of excellence. Tile pen
which obtains the gold medal belongs to Mr. John
Coate, of Hararnoon, Blandford. The animals are of
the improved Dorset breed, and are perfect marvels of
form and flesh. The only ether Dorset exhibitor of
pigs was Mr. J. Saunders, of West Stafford, whose
specimens were 20 months and s'.l days old, and bred by
the Lord Portman. The following ere the prizes taken
