for breeds of animals of special interest to the district will on this

and Colts ; 7 classes for Coach Horses ; 6 classes for Hackneys ; 
2 classes for Pony Mares or Geldings ; 2 classes for Harness Horses 
and Ponies ; and 2 classes for Agricultural Geldings of any breed. 
The Council have decided to insert in the Prize Sheet a new 
Regulation that no Stallion shall be awarded a prize until a 
veterinary examination shall have pronounced such Stallion to be 
free from hereditary disease. 
12. In the Cattle Classes, Prizes will be offered for Shorthorns, 
Herefords, Devons, Sussex, Welsh, Red-Polled, Aberdeen Angus, 
Galloways, Ayrshires, Jerseys, Guernseys, Kerrys, and Dexter 
Kerrys, and for Dairy Cattle giving the greatest quantity of milk 
containing not less than 12 per cent, of solids and 3 per cent, 
of butter-fat. 
13. In view of the large increase which has taken place of late 
years in the number of breeds which have possessed Stud or Herd 
Books for upwards of seven years, and thus come within the Society's 
rule that any animal exhibited of these breeds must be entered or 
be eligible to be entered in the appropriate Stud or Herd Book, the 
Council have passed a regulation requiring proof of eligibility of 
animals entered as eligible for the Stud or Herd Book to be fur- 
nished to the Secretary at the time of making the entry. 
14. Prizes will be given for Leicester, Cotswold, Lincoln, Oxford 
Down, Shropshire, Southdown, Hampshire Down, Suffolk, Wensley- 
dale, Border Leicester, Cheviot, Black-faced Mountain, Lonk, and
