plcton, IpsAvic'h, Ii;id on the j^rounds four Kerry coays, for cx- 

 liibition only. AVc rei>TCt tin's, as many Avould be glad to 

 know their capabilities as milkers. 



We would like to impress on exhibitors the importance of 

 furnishing- comjiletc pedigrees, Avith numbers in Herd Books, 

 of the full blood animals, as by so doing, they AA'Ould facilitate 

 the duties of the judges, and fairer judgment could be given. 



AVe Avould here mention that many of the cards and bits of 

 paper on the pens Avere almost illegible, and nearly all AA'ere 

 deficient in not stating for AA'hat premiums the entries AA'ere 

 made ; so that it Avas AAith some difficulty and Avaste of time 

 that the Committee found the proper animals. 



Could not this hc: remedied by the Society furnishing cards, 

 AA-ith the proper classifications printed upon them ? 



We think there AA'Ould be much advantage in announcing 

 the premiums by means of cards or ribbons, placed on the an- 

 imals or pens, the first day of the shoAv, so that the people by 

 personal examination may derive some benefit from the aAvards 

 of merit, rather than delaying the announcement until the din- 

 ner on the second day when the Fair is nearly closed.
