Jerseys. — The classes were well filled throughout, an<l the 

 (luality, generally speaking, was very good. The first prize 

 bull in Class 175 was decidedly one of the best old bulls seen 

 for some time, in depth, symimetry, and general character 

 leaving little to be desired. This animal was also awarded 

 the Championship and Special Prize. The second was a well- 

 grown, long, and stylish bull. The third was also a very good 

 bull ; in fact, there was hardly a bad bull in the class. The 

 introduction of a twx)-year-old class for bulls. Class 17^), was 

 a great advantage to the Show-, and gave five good young bulls 

 a chance of getting into the prize list, which they would not 

 have done if they had been obliged to compete with the old bulls. 

 In Class 177 (yearling bulls) a decidedly broken-coloured bull 

 was first, which, considering that the first prize old bull was 

 also broken-coloured, marks the change from the fashion that 

 prevailed less than fifteen years ago. There were many 

 promising yearlings in this class, which was quite a good 

 one. Cows calved in or before 1907 made quite an excellent 

 and very well-filled class. The first prize winner, an exception- 

 ally good type of Jersey, both in looks and dairy qualification, 

 afterwards won the Female Championship. The second was 

 built on different lines with very fine points, and a remarkably 

 good bag and milk vein. She well deseiwed her place. The 

 third was, perhaps, a little fleshy, but a very fine type of dairy 

 cow. The fourth was a beautiful cow of very good quality, 

 while the fifth was fine, but not quite so deep in the body as 

 she might have been. That two others were highly commended, 

 and that seven were commended, speaks for itself as to the 

 general character of the class. There were three very good 

 heifers at the top of Class 179 (three-year-olds), but in general 

 character the exhibits in this class could not compare with the 

 old cows. 



The two-year-old heifers in Class 180 were a good class, but, 

 taken as a whole, not quite so good in their udders as one 

 could wish. An exceptionally nice yearling headed Class 181, 

 and the other prize winners and H. C.'s made a very close and 

 even competition. Class 182 (for cows or heifers in-milk, bred 

 by exhibitor, and sired in Great Britain or Ireland, open to 

 animals in classes 178-180) brought together many animals 

 seen in previous classes, but, of course, with the disadvantage 

 of three-year-old and two-year-old heifers competing against 

 old cows, which greatly handicaps them. They were, on the 

 whole, quite a good class, and fine in character. 



Guernseys. — For a show held in the East of England, the 

 classes of Guei-nsey cattle were exceedingly good, while the
