the more credit must be ascribed to the bulls placed in the 
Prize-list. Two or three of the rest, including " Gold," received 
commendations. Class 97, for Bulls calved in 1888, contained 
eighteen entries, two absent, and the competing animals ranged 
in age from under nine months to over one year and five months at 
the time of exhibition. They were like a lot of little lads and 
big lads together, the big ones at a stage of growth when bull 
or boy looks lathy, and neither one thing nor another, neither 
infant nor adult, whilst the little ones were scarcely past the 
baby age, and might grow out very good, very bad, or very 
middling. It was a good Class, nevertheless, taking the aggre- 
gate merit of all sizes, and Sir F. A. Montefiore's "Jupiter," 
entered without pedigree, but bred from the same herd which 
produced the Champion bull " Jubilee," made a good First winner, 
with age in his favour. The selection of the Judges, however, 
appeared to be rightly for type, form, and quality, due discount 
being allowed for difi'erences of age. 
Class 98, Cows and Heifers calved in or before 1886, seventeen 
entries, all in the stalls, was a grand Class indeed. It really did 
not contain a bad or middling animal. There was scarcely one 
that would fail to impress her individuality upon the memory, if 
seen alone. For the third year in unbroken succession, Mr. 
Waterlow's " Elsa " won the First Prize among the Sussex 
matrons, and she this year added to her Class Prize the Prize 
for the best Sussex female and the Queen's Gold Medal, as the 
best animal in any of the Sussex Classes. " Elsa," bred by her 
exhibitor, is a cow of that stamp which has been already described 
generally, and affords an illustration of the evolution of beauty 
together with useful properties, when the successive breeders 
have anything like educated taste mixed with the judgment of 
practical men. In the award of the Second and Third Prizes 
the winners at Nottingham changed places, Mr. Hutli's " Lilly 
2nd," last year winner of the Third Prize, taking the Second ; 
and Mr. J. Stewart Hodgson's " Laura 7th," after taking the 
Society's First Prize at Preston, Third at Norwich, Second at 
Newcastle, and Second at Nottingham, this year having the Third 
Prize. Those honours were won in competition with the follow- 
ing excellent cows : — Major Mawdistly Best's " Auricula " and 
"Alice," Mr. Kirkpatrick's " Prebble," Mr. W. S. Forster's 
" liosebud 1 st " (Highly Commended), " Parade " and " Acorn " ; 
Mr. W. Wood's " Little Lizzie," Mr. Alfred Agate's " Nutmeg " 
and " Beeswing," Mr. J. Godman's " Columbine 2nd " 
(Reserve Number) and " Comely 9th " (Highly Commended) ; 
Mr. W. Wood's, jun., " Berry 7th " (a cow of great scale and 
good frame, capable of much more furnishing), the Hon, J.
