Entries for Cattle, totalling 454, were larger than for some years, bringing the number back to the average looked for at one of the most popular venues for the Show. Numbering 57, the Shorthorn entry showed a welcome advance on the Dumfries figure, and the general quality was pronounced very good. Captain J. MacGillivray of Calrossie. Nigg, Ross-shire, carried off the President’s Champion Medal with a fourteen-months-old red bull, “ Muirside Ramsden King” (Fig. 11), bred by Mr James F. Innes, Brawland- knowes, Huntly, his sire being “Coldoch Salute,” 275,891, and dam “Muirside Miss Ramsden 2nd,” 178,755. This young bull, possessing quite remarkable symmetry and style, followed up his owner’s success at Alloa, 1937, when his great bull, “ Calrossie Control,” gained the premier breed honours. In addition to the Championship, he was awarded the Duthie Perpetual Challenge Cup, the J. P. Brown Perpetual Challenge Cup, the Tweeddale Gold Medal, the Emilio R.

The Aberdeen-Angus classes brought out a capital-entry of 105 animals. There were very few absentees, and it was everywhere remarked that there had not been a better-display of the breed, both as regards character and condition, for years. The President’s Champion Medal was again won on this occasion by a female, the six-year-old cow, “ Euhma 6th of Kilham,” 102,652 (Fig. 12), bred and exhibited by Captain A. L. Goodson, Kilham, Mindrum, Northurnberland.

Wallace for the best female. The Reserve award was also gained by a female, a five-year—old cow, “ Gammer Ebenil,” 104,726, the property of Messrs J. & A.
