THE GUERNSEY BREED 201 



imately complete record of the show-yard winnings at the 

 state fairs alone, but notice will be taken of some animals 

 that are worthy of particular mention. Competition, was not 

 keen enough before about 1890 to make the records of partic- 

 ular interest, except in the case of one or two shows. 



In 1887 a dairy show was held at the Madison Square 

 Garden, New York City. The following is a list of the ex- 

 hibitors of Guernseys and the number of animals each showed :
