Fat Shorthorn Cattle.
At aU the recent, Fat Stock Exhibitions, both at home and abroad. Shorthorn cattle have maintained their reputation. At the iinr.ual Smithfield Club Show at London, in December last, a shorthorn won the champion first prize, and a grade ox obtained the second. At Chicago, in November, the *_rrand sweepstakeprizes were awarded to a living Shorthorn grade steer, nnd a full-bred heiler. A Hereford steer won rhe prize for the best dressed carcass ; but it must be recollected that he was imported from Hnglan , and reared and led there under their most painstaking svstem. The question arises, now. if that steer had been bred, r ared, and fattened in America, would he have beeu awarded the first prize? '(his competition o! an English steer against American was not fair, and ought not to have been J allowed for the. purpose of obtaining a valuable prize, though otherwise it would not have been objectionable.
