Class 100. — The exhibits were not numerous, but the quality was excellent, 
especially the first and second prizes.

Aykshike Cattle. 
The Judges of Ayrshire Cattle report in unqualified terms as 
to the high character of the muster of this valuable dairy breed ;

and got by " King Coil " (431). The third prize went to Mr. 
Mark J. Stewart, M.P., for " White Prince " (909), a big, useful- 
looking four-year-old bull, bred by Mr. P. M. Coul, Wattiestan, 
Kilbirnie, and got by that well-known sire " Baron o' Buck- 
lyvie" (281). The famous prize bull "Silver King," the 
Champion Ayrshire bull at several former Shows, and now shown 
by Mr. E. A. Roberts, of Greenhithe, Kent, has lost freshness 
somewhat, and was left with the " reserve " ticket. 
The Class of Yearling Bulls was larger and also contained 
high merit. Mr. R. Osborne again came to the front, this
