Before concluding this Report, we think it desirable to mention that a 
meeting of the breeders of Jersey cattle was hehl in the Showyard durinp; the 
Exhibition at Bristol, for the purpose of establishing a Herd Rook for Jersey 
Cattle bred in England." The meeting was well attended, and, alter a fair 
discussion, it was resolved to ask breeders to lecord the breeding and j5e(iigrees 
of their animals, and a sum of 2001. was at once subscribed for the purpose of 
printing and publishing these particulars, as a first volume of a ' Herd Book.' 
This meeting, as well as the increased entries at the Show (which were nearly 
fifty per cent, above the average of the last seven years), clearly indicated 
the increased nitmber of animals that are being bred, and the interest that is 
being taken in them, especially for dairy purjioses. This is the more notice- 
able in the neighbourhood of large cities; and we are firmly of opinion that 
when the Society's Show is held near the large southern cities, the classes for 
this breed should be increased, and a larger amount of money in prizes 
offered.

This picturesque-looking breed took a very prominent posi- 
tion in the Yard, and there were some animals of great merit 
among them. Mr. Charles Salusbury INIainwaring took the first 
prize for bulls over two years, with " Taihirion," an immense 
bull, very powerful about the neck and shoulders, and good all 
over. Earl Cawdor's " Prince of Wales " was second ; he was 
first last year at Liverpool. The third-prize animal, Mr. David 
Davies' " Young Robin Dhu " may take a higher position on 
some future occasion, as he was very little more than two years 
old at the time of the Show. The class for young bulls was 
not quite so good as the preceding one. Mr William James's 
" Nigger Boy," the first prize, is a fine specimen, rather small, 
with straight horns, and curly hair on the head and neck. Tiie 
old cow class was very much admired by the Judges and by the 
public. Mr. J. C. Best's " Welsh Duchess," a handsome old cow, 
with great depth, and a little white about the udder, was placed 
first after a close competition. Mr. J. Walters' " Favourite " 
was second, and Mr. J. C. Best's "Black Queen" third. This 
was such an even class that it was diflficult to distinguish the 
prize animals. Mr. Walter Jenkins's " Nell " came to the front 
very decidedly among the heifers in-calf or in-rnilk under three 
years old. Earl Cawdor's " Kitty 6th " took second place. 
Heifers under two years old : this was a good class ; Earl 
Cawdor's " Leonora," the first-prize animal, was very handsome, 
with a glossy coat and delicate touch ; she has a streak of white
