Class 96. With this class the Judges were much pleased, and, in addition to 
the prizes, commended the whole class. 
Class 112. The Judges were well satisfied with the Class of Old Bulls ; they 
doubt if the Welsh breeds of cattle were ever so well represented as they have 
been in this exhibition ; they venture to express an opinion tliat, considering 
the importance of Welsh cattle to English graziers, the Royal would do well to 
continue to encourage the exhibition of these cattle. 
Class 113. A useful class. 
CiJiss 114. In this class the Welsh cattle were well represented, and were 
highly creditable to the exhibitors ; the class generally was commended. 
Class 115. A very useful class of animals. 
Class 116. This class was well represented by animals giving promise of 
growing into first-class cows. 
Classes 135 and 136 call for no particular comment

Jerseys Aim Guernseys. 
The Jersey cattle at Kilburn, extending to the unprecedented 
number of 252 entries, were admitted on all hands to be the 
feature of the Live-stock department. To quote, for once, the 
words of a well-known and distinguished agricultural writer, it 
did seem as if " the butter had come to the top," and a bountiful, 
well-shaped udder grown at length more in favour than beastly 
obesity ! I shall have more to say on this milk question when 
the Dairy Class is under notice. Suffice it here to remark that, 
weight for weight, it may be fairly conceded that Jersey cattle 
take first rank as producers of deliciously flavoured, richly 
coloured milk and butter. And over and above these valuable 
qualities, might not a whole chapter be written on their delicacy 
of form, their deer-like head and neck, their mouse-like skin, 
their prettily marked muzzles, their docile temper, their intelli- 
gent looks? Passing through the class one day, an observant 
visitor said to me, " Those creatures would be as pretty as deer 
in a nobleman's park." I made answer, " Yes, and vastly more 
profitable." 
Guernseys, though mustering in slender force (only 38 entries), 
were of rare quality, and displayed, in many instances, those 
enormous milking propensities which have made them so highly 
prized by the small peasant or cottager with his one cow. 
Though not so neatly formed as the Jerseys, being larger in 
bone and somewhat coarser in build, they furnish, when their 
natural career for breeding: and milking; is ended, a wider and 
bigger framework on which to build up something for the 
butcher. Jerseys, on the other hand, are not easily fattened, 
and when sent for slaughter are not satisfactory weighers.
