560 Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Liverpool. 
Gibson. No. 621, highly commended and reserved, "Ella" (2 years 5 
months), was bred and exhibited by Lord Chesham. No. 628, commended, 
"Flirt" (under 3 years), bred in the island, was exhibited by Mr. H. A. 
Class 73. Guernsey Bulls above One Year old. — No entry. 
Class 74. Guernsey Cows above Three Years old. — Only one animal entered, 
No. 630, the first prize (3 years 10 weeks), bred in the island, and exhibited 
by Mr. Herbert Spencer Woodcock. This is a well-proportioned cow, showing 
good milking qualities. 
Class 75. Guernsey Heifers in-Milk or in-Calf, not exceeding Tliree Years 
old. — Only one animal entered, No. G31, " Muriel " (2 years), bred and exhi- 
bited by the Eev. Walter Sneyd. This animal, being [unfortunately entered 
in the wrong class, as she is a Jersey and not a Guernsey, was disqualified. 
As previous Judges have before advised alterations and additions to the 
prize lists, we venture to bring our views to the notice of the Council. 
We are sorry that we are unable to report favourably of the entries in the 
Guernsey Classes ; the prizes, amounting to 75?. in the three classes, failed 
to attract animals to the various exhibitions, and this year at Liverpool only 
one cow put in an appearance. We would therefore suggest that the usual 
three classes be reduced next year to the following single class, namely, for 
" Guernsey Cows in-Milk or in-Calf, without restrictions as to age," or else 
that there be no special class for Guernseys. In introducing this latter alter- 
native, it may be well to remind the Council that the Guernsey Cow will 
not be shut out from future Shows, as she can be entered in the "Dairy- 
Cattle Class (without pedigree)." 
In reverting to the Jersey breed, it is indeed most satisfactory to trace its 
gradual development and increasing popularity, as evinced by the entries at 
all exhibitions of the Society since that at Manchester in 1869. The average 
yearly entry has now reached forty-four. This affords us one reason why we 
deem the breed worthy of still further encouragement. Moreover, as this is 
by no means a meat-making, but especially a milk-producing breed, it is of 
the highest importance that the milk-properties shall be developed as early 
as possible, hence we take the liberty of recommending the introduction of 
three additional classes for younger stock of the Jersey breed, making in all, 
the following seven classes : — 
Bull above Two Years old. 
Bull above One and not exceeding Two Years old. 
■ *Bull-calf above Six Months and not exceeding Twelve Months old. 
Cow above Three Years old. 
Heifer in-Milk or in-Calf, above Two and not exceeding Three Years old. 
*Heifer in-Milk or in-Calf, above One and not exceeding Two Years old. 
*Heifer-calf above Six Months and under Twelve Months old. 
Tltose marked ivith an asterisk are the additional classes.

Sussex. — In no class of this useful meat-making South-east oi 
England breed did the number in competition exceed three. 
Curiously, there were two entries in each of the three bull 
classes, and three in each of the cow and heifer classes. Quality, 
it is important to bear in mind, did not suffer in the same 
proportion as numbers did. On the contrary, the display, 
though small, was of high merit, so far as it went. The Messrs.
