Logan, Overton, Coylton, Ayr, and got by " Sam." As in 
the older class, Mr. R. Wardrop followed closely with " King 
Charlie of Garlaff," a very handsome little bull of choice cha- 
racter and quality, not quite so fresh-looking as the one placed 
before him. He was first-prize winner at Ayr, was bred by 
Mr. John Weir, Shield Mains, Coylton, and got by " Mequit- 
tiston Bob." Mr. R. Wilson's third-prize bull is bigger and 
also well formed, but not equal in quality to the two placed 
before him. 
The Cow Class, very good as a whole, contained a few 
animals of rare merit. Mr. Mark J. Stewart's first-prize cow, 
"Bertie 2nd" (3217), has won numerous honours, and was 
here awarded the Special prize for the best Female of the Breed. 
Bred by Mr. Robert Meikle, Clockston, Tarbolton, Ayrshire, 
and got by " Pride of Clerkland," she is an exceedingly hand- 
some and useful cow, with grand underline, well-formed udder, 
of true Ayrshire character and quality. Mr. John Holm's 
second cow " Annie," bred by himself, and by " Prince 
Alfred 2nd" (651), is a very good useful-looking cow, but it 
was generally expected that the second prize would have gone 
to Mr. R. Wilson's bigger and better made cow, " Yellow Bess " 
(2830), which came third. 
Four excellent Two-year-old Heifers contested keenly. Mr. 
R. Wilson's first is " Lady Bright," bred by Mr. James Wilson, 
Macherquhat, Colmonell, Ayr, and got by " Neil Gow " (1076) ; 
neat, straight, and well topped, but just a trifle light behind. 
The second winner, from the same herd, is also well formed and 
exceptionally promising, with beautiful quality and character. 
She was bred by Mr. John Allan, Lambroughton, Kilmains, 
and got by " Bold Briton " (1483). Mr. Mark J. Stewart got 
the third prize for a big good heifer, rather high in condition, 
bred by Mr. Osborne, Drumjoan, Ayr, and got by " Hover a 
Blink" (892). 
The Yearling Heifers were more numerous and equally high 
in merit. Mr. John Holm came to the front here with " White 
Rose," a well-grown, handsome heifer of much promise, bred 
by himself, and got by "White Prince 2nd" (1138). Mr. R. 
Wardrop's second winner, " Snowflake 3rd of Garlaff," is 
quite a little beauty, very young, but exceedingly handsome 
and promising, bred by himself, got by " Hover a Blink " 
(892), and out of "Snowflake 2nd" by "King Coil" (431). 
It is thus as choice in its breeding as in character.
