Report on the Exhibition of Line Stock at Liverpool. 559 
stronger than those of his more successful competitor, but in comparison he 
<loes not show the blood-like and milking points in his head and horns. 
No. 591, the third prize, " Fanfaron," bred by Mr. Walter Gilbey and shown by 
Lord Chesham, is 8 months older than the above bulls, and combines good 
looks with some fine qualities. No. 596, commended and reserved, "May 
Duke," was bred and exhibited by Mr. George Simpson. 
Class 70. Jersey Bulls above One and not exceeding Two Tears old. — 
Seven animals entered, Nos. 601-607, but only five were shown in the ring 
(Nos. 601 and 601 being absent). The entry, although small in number, was 
excellent in quality throughout. The three prize animals possess many ex- 
ceptional points of merit. No. 605, the first prize, " The Pride " (1 year 5 
months), bred in the island and exhibited by Mr. George Simpson, is a dark 
brown, but described in the Catalogue as a grey. This animal's blood-like 
points, so appreciated by the Jersey breeders, obtained for him the red ribbon ; 
his horns, perhaps, might be considered too curly, but in all other respects he 
will be found hard to beat. No. 606, the second prize, " Gauntlet," a silver 
grey, bred by the exhibitor, Mr. George Simpson, 4 months younger than the 
above, is also full of promise. No. 607, the third prize, "Gipsy Lad," bred 
by the exhibitor, Mr. Herbert Addington l!igg, is the exact age of the first-prize 
bull (1 year 5 months), and got by " Gipsy King," the same sire as the 
second-prize animal. In any ordinary exhibition this animal would have 
taken the principal honours, and in such a good class as the present he may 
be described as possessing good looks and rich milking qualities sufficient to 
make him valuable in any Jersey herd. No. 603, highly commended and 
reserved, " Jehu," bred by the exhibitor, Sir David Baird, Bart., is a very 
useful bull, with a plain head. 
Class 71. Jersey Cows above TJiree Years old. — Twelve animals entered, 
Nos. 608-619, but only ten were shown in the ring (Nos. 612 and 618 being 
absent). The all-important properties of a dairy cow were here exemplified 
(capacious udder, broad at its base, extending well forward and well backward, 
with skin loose and elastic, the teats evenly distributed) : in point of excellence 
we doubt if ever at any Show in England so many good animals came into 
the ring, all possessing, as these did, symmetry, fineness of breeding, and 
richness in milk-producing points. No. 615, the first prize, " Luna" (3 years 
4 months), bred in the island, was exhibited by Mr. George Simpson. 
No. 619, the second prize, " Young Fawn " (3 years 10 months), bred by the late 
Sir Joseph Hawley, Bart., was exhibited by Mr. H. A. Bigg. No. 614, the 
third prize, " Venus " (3 years 6 weeks), bred in the island, was exhibited by 
Mr. George Simpson. No 616, highly commended and reserved, "Lemon 
Peel 2nd" (3 years 3 months), bred in the island, was also exhibited by Mr. 
George Simpson. No. 609, highly commended, " Haphazard " (3 years 7 
weeks), bred by Mr. Walter Gilbey, was exhibited by Lord Chesham. No. 
617, highly commended, "Laustunina" (4 years 3 months), bred by Mr. E. 
Marjoribanks, was exhibited by Mr. William H. Wakefield. 
Class 72. Jersey Heifers in-Milk or in-Calf, not exceeding Three Years 
old. — Ten animals entered, Nos. 620-629, but only nine were shown in the 
ring (No. 629 being absent). The entry was short compared with the 
Birmingham Show last year, when it comprised no less than 33 animals; 
the good and high breeding, however, of a portion of those which came before 
us compensated for the deficiency in numbers, and it may be safely said that 
they possessed beauty, and all points necessary both lor quantity and rich 
quality of milk. No. 627, the first prize, " Promise " (2 years 5 months), 
bred in the island, was exhibited by Mr. George Simpson. No. 626, the 
second prize, " Pretty Girl " (2 years 2 months), was bred and exhibited by 
Mr. George Simpson. No. 620, the third prize, " Maid of Athens " (1 year 
8 months), bred by Mr. Walter Gilbey, was exhibited by Mr. Edmund B.
