The Plymouth Meeting. 
Sweet Secret was third, both being island-bred animals, and both 
well known in the show-ring. 
At the top of a large class of two-year-old heifers was placed 
Mr. Cornish's Little Mecca. This light grey heifer the Judges 
regard as of great merit, as she shows high breeding and has 
indisputable milking qualities. All three prize-winners in this 
class are island-bred. About a dozen others were noticed. 
Yearling heifers made another large class, with many . 
animals of almost equal merit. The first prize went to Mr. 
Crookes's Pomona's Charm, bred in Hampshire, and the third 
to the same exhibitor's Rosy Pawn, Lord Rothschild's Miss Rosy 
being second. Seven others were selected for empty honours. 
Guernseys. — The Judges report these classes as of exceptional 
merit, and they suggest that in future two-year-old heifers and 
yearling heifers should receive separate classes. Of old bulls 
only four came forward, and there was no difficulty in placing at 
their head the Windsor champion, Mr. W. H. Carrington's 
Rydale. " He shows all the good points and quality of last 
year — straight, level, with a splendid loin and rump, and a deep 
full barrel, he is a magnificent specimen of the breed." The 
second prize went to Mr. Ozanne's Souvenir, a three-year-old 
bull of good quality, rich in colouring and good in skin, though 
lacking the massiveness of Rydale. Sir F. A. Montefiore's 
third prize bull, Plack Prince, is " a level good animal, fairly 
rich in quality." The reserve is a straight bull, but very 
" throaty." These four bulls are all island-bred. 
Of young bulls, 15 were in their places, and the class 
was of such excellent merit that the Judges noticed 10 of 
them, though they experienced much difficulty on account of 
the various ages. The first prize went to Colonel Shakerley's 
Paradox, " an extremely good animal, almost as large as the 
old bulls in the previous class ; he is island-bred, of rich quality, 
good horns, and straight back, with the tail fairly well set on." 
The second and third prizes went to bulls bred in England. 
Frolic 2nd is a very good bull, with nice head and neck, but 
high and a little coarse on the rump. Papageno is nearly a year 
younger than the first prize bull, and is of most promising 
appearance. 
At the head of the cow class it was easy to place that most 
charming creature, Pretty Dairymaid 2nd, who won the female 
championship in the Guernsey classes at Windsor. " A more 
beautiful specimen of a Guernsey cow cannot be found — mar- 
vellous in her vessel, with splendid milk- vein and rare escutcheon, 
beautifully fine in the chine, and a wonderful milker." Milked 
in the presence of the Judges in the ring she gave thirteen quarts.
