merits of the animals thus shovm together, and from which it must be under- 
stood that a relative difBculty equally arose in the determination of the 
awards. If it were possible in the future to divide the heifers ia-milk from 
those in-calf, the difficulty would thus be removed, and the animals with 
fully developed udders and in milking condition would not be competing 
against those wiiose udders may not yet be fully developed, and whose con- 
dition is totally opposed to that in which an animal when in-milli should be. 
The prizes in this class were awarded as follows : — first prize, Xo. 1355 ; 
second prize, Xo. 1316; third prize, Xo. 13-14; reserve, Xo. 1340, which was 
highly commended, as also Xo. 1352 ; and Xos. 1321, 1341, 1343, commended. 
The entire class deserves special mention ; it was good throughout, and many 
were the animals which, though not prize-takers, would in former years 
have been adjudged worthy of the foremost rank. The champion prize was 
awarded to Xo. 1355, as being the best female of the breed exhibited. 
Class 102. Yearling Heifers above One and not exceeding Two Tears old. 
— This, as the last, was a very interesting class, and with an equal number of 
entries. Xo. 1362 obtained first prize ; Xo. 1393, second prize ; Xo. 1371, 
third prize ; and Xo. 1394, reserve and highly commended ; the latter dis- 
tinction being also accorded to Xos. 1381, 1403, and 1391 ; and commendations 
to Xos. 1375, 1373, 1368, 1363, and 1396. 
Class 103. Heifer-Calves. — A very promising lot, numbering twenty-three 
entries, many of which will, no doubt, appear again. The prizes were 
awarded — first prize to Xo. 1425, second prize to Xo. 1422, and the reserve to 
Xo. 1427, which was highly commended, as also Xos. 1428 and 1416 ; and 
commendations extended to Xos. 1413, 1420, 1426, 1429, 1430, 1412. 
Guernsey Cattle. 
Class 104. Bulls above One Tear old. — There were ten entries in this class. 
Though not numerous, some animals of good form and quality were in com- 
petition, the result being — first prize, Xo. 1433; second prize, Xo. 1441; 
third prize, Xo. 1435 ; the reserve number, 1438, which was also highly com- 
mended ; as was equally highly commended Xo. 1442. 
Class 105. Cows above Three Tars old, was a small but good class of 
eleven. The first prize was taken by Xo. 1446, the second prize by Xo. 1450, 
the third prize by Xo. 1452, and the reserve by Xo. 1447. A commendation 
was also given to Xo. 1449. The animal to which the first prize was awarded 
had a rich appearance, which was also, noticeable in some of the other prize- 
takers. 
Class 106. Heifers in-Milk or in-Calf, not exceeding Three Tears old. — 
This, though the largest of the Guernsey Classes, numbering seventeen entries, 
was not proportionately so good as the others. Xo. 1464, a good animal, 
obtained first prize ; Xo. 1454, second prize ; Xo. 1465, third prize ; while the 
reserve with high commendation was given to Xo. 1456, aad a commendation 
to Xo. 1457. 
In closing these observations on the cattle submitted to our consideration 
and judgment, we cannot fail to congratulate the Council on the great success 
which has attended the expansion given to the classes of the Jersey and 
Guernsey breeds at the Society's Exhibitions, and which on the present occa- 
sion, in the number of entries, has brought the former at the head of the 
cattle exhibited, and collectively produced one of the most interesting features 
of this great international gathering.
