Ayrskires. — In Class 117 there were four entries, and one very fine animal. 
Class 118. The two prize bulls had the type and character of the pure 
Ayrshire. 
Class 119, /or Cmvs in-Milk, was a very fine class ; the udders and general 
style of the three prize cows were first-rate. 
Class 120 was also good, but not quite equal to the class for cows. No. 
1575, which was placed second, might have been first had she been in-milk, 
with a fuUy developed udder. 
The Judges awarded the prizes to those animals which, in addition to their 
other merits, possessed the best Ayrshire type. 
Kerry Cattle. — Class 133 contained a grand old bull and a promising 
youngster. 
Class 134. The entries were large and good. A diversity of character was 
observable. Some of the animals were not true Kerries, but of the " Dexter " 
variety, a short-legged sort which is not suitable for mountain pasture but 
well adapted for grazing in a park. No prizes were awarded to these animals. 
The prize cows were very good, with fine udders ; the reserve number would 
have been placed higher but for the shape of her bag. 
Dairy Cattle. — Class 137. This was a fine class, and contained a number of 
the cows so highly esteemed by London dairymen. The Judges felt tlie usual 
difficulty in deciding upon the relative merits of pairs of animals of different 
breeds. The first-prize pair were fine Shorthorns with good udders. The 
second-prize pair had capital dairy looks, and were very even in character ; 
but lor a deficiency in the fore-quarter of the udder of one of them, they would 
probably have been placed first. Two pairs of Ayrshires with first-rate udders 
were highly commended. 
Class 138, /or single Dairy Cows, was also good. The first- and second- 
prize cows were good Shortliorus, the third au Ayrshire with a splendid udder. 
A Suffolk Polled cow, showing great milking capability, and a Jersey were 
commended. 
William T. CAERisaTON. 
Andrew Allen. 
Luke Christy. 
Polled GAiiLOWAYS. 
There were only eleven entries of this breed, every animal 
gaining a prize or commendation ; indeed, the quality of this 
section was superb. On viewing Mr. James Little's first- and 
second-prize Aged Bulls, one might well have exclaimed, " How 
happy could I be with either, were t'other dear charmer away !" 
They were, beyond question, a magnificent pair, standing on 
neat s-hort legs, and covered all over with deep heavy flesh. 
Opinions were divided as to whether the winner had any advan- 
tage, beyond a trifle in size and weight, over his companion, 
which was bred by Mr. James Graham, of Longtown, Cumber- 
land, a man universally known in connection with prize-winning 
Galloways, and whose fine cow, "Forest Queen 2nd," stood 
first at Kilburn, beating the two famous animals exhibited by 
Mr. Cunningham, another enterprising Galloway fancier. Of 
Yearling Bulls only two were shown, but they were fit to win in a 
full class. The winner, owned by Mr. Graham, of Beanlands
