The Trustees think it their duty to
present their thanks to Capt. Curtis, for
his great care Of these animals. Their

appeared as if they had been just taken
from fine pasture.
The pedigrees of these animals. are
as follows Those conVersant with the
improved breeds, will perceive, that
there is no better blood to be procured
in England.

Trojan, which he offered to shew against
any bull in England for 100 guineas-
Trojan's dam was Margaret bought by
MIR. Yarwoth of Mr.. Tompkins of his
thorough bred choice stock-Waxey's
dam was Brunette out of Margaret-Sir
lsaac's dam was Young ChaWner, own
sister to the Brown Ok, that won the
premium last Christmas at Bath, and af-
forwards was exhibited at Bristol as a
Show and considered the latest OK in
the kingdom. Young Charmer and the
Brown Ok were got by favourite bull,
bred by the late Mr.. Benjamin Temp
kins. Young Charmer is out of Old

Christmas Show of fat beef and was
much superior to any exhibited.

was considered the best COW in England,
and the greatest weight, and the least
bone, weighing eighteen score and a

Extract from the Supplement to the
British Encyclopedia relative to these
two breeds -
"The Short Horned, sometimes cal
led the Dutch, is known by variety of
names from the Districts where they
form the principal stock, or where much
attention has been paid to their improve
ment. Different families of this race
are thus distinguished by the names of
the Holderness, the Teeswater, the
Yorkshire, the Durham, Northumber-
land and other breeds. The Teeswa-
ter breed, a variety Of the Short Horns,
established on the banks Of the Tees at
the head Of the vale of York, is at pres
ent in the highest estimation, and is al
legged to be the true Yorkshire Short
Horned breed. Bulls and COWS from
this stock, purchased at most extraordi-
nary prices, are spread over the north
OF England, and the border counties of
Scotland. The bone, head, and necks
of these cattle are fine--the hide is very
thin--the chine full-the lon broad, and
the caTcase throughout large and well
fashioned, and the flesh and fatting quail
lily equal or perhaps superior to those
OF any other large breed. The Short
Horns give greater quantity of milk
than any other cattIe--a COW usually
Welding 24 quarts per day and three fir
kins OF butter in season. Their beef
is used for the East India ships, being
thicker it retains its juices better in long
The Herefordshire cattle are of a
deep red colour, with fine hair, and very
thin hides-neck and head clean-horns
neither long nor short--bone not large.
The Hereford cattle are next in size 10
the Yorkshire Short Horns. Both this
and The Gloucester variety, are highly
eligible as dairy stock aud are found to
fatien very easily. Sir |. G. Cotterel
gave for the mother of the bull sent out
5000 and the heifer is now with calf by
a bull which was sold for 1000 dollars.
The Herefordshire stock carried all the
prizes last year even against the Short
Horns.
