666 Report on the Cattle Uxhibited at Windsor. 
Class 130 — T/ie Two-year-old Bulls — were a fair Class. The First 
Peize bull, No. 1785 (Mr. Robert Montgomerie's GZewcaiVn), being consider- 
ably better than any of the others. 
Class 131 — One-year-old Bulls — were also a good Class, particularly the 
First, No. 1789 (Mr. Andrew Mitchell's Craiy Ma), and Second, No. 1790 
(Mr. R, Osborne's Cock of the Walk), Prize ones, which were very superior 
bulls. 
Class 132 — Coxos in Milk or in Calf — were only a medium Class, the 
season being too far advanced for milk, cows showing in good bloom. 
Class 133 — The Two-yenr-old Heifers — comprised by far the best Class 
in the Show, particularly the three prize animals. The First Prize heifer, 
No. 1809 (Mr. Andrew Mitchell's Nellie of Barcheskie), which, vf as awarded 
the Queen's Gold Medal, as the best animal in the Classes, is the best 
specimen of the breed that has been seen in any Showyard. 
Class 134 — One-year-old Heifers — were also a good Class, particularly 
the First, No. 1818," (Mr. Mark' Stewart's Betty 2nd of Southwick), and 
Second, No. 1821 (Mr. Robert Osborne's Nellie), Prize ones, which were 
very meritorious heifers.

Channel Islands Cattle. 
Under this name the distinct but kindred breeds of Jersey 
and Guernsey competed indiscriminately when first recognised 
in the Society's Prize-lists, and for some time afterwards. The 
first occasion was at Southampton in 1844, when three out of 
the four prizes awarded went to exhibitors living in the island 
of Jersey, and one to an English exhibitor for a bull vaguely de- 
scribed as of the Channel Islands breed. The next Show where 
Classes were introduced was that at Windsor, in 1851, when a 
Guernsey cow took tho one Prize offered for her Class ; the breed 
of the winning bulls was not stated, and two heifers were 
described as " Alderney," a name, in that day, often applied in 
error to the Jersey. At Salisbury, 1857, a Guernsey and 
a " Channel Islands " animal were respectively the winners 
in Special Classes. The Classes were first separated at the 
Battersea International Show, 1862, when the prizes were 
offered respectively for " Jersey, commonly called Alderney," 
and for "Guernsey" cattle. The old description, "Channel 
Islands," was adopted at Newcastle, 1864, Plymouth, 1865, 
Leicester, 1868, Manchester, 1869, and Oxford, 1870, and the 
animals competed without distinction of breed. Beginning 
with the Wolverhampton Show, and continuing without break 
to the present time, the Jerseys have had special and separate 
Classes; and in all the same years, excepting 1883-4-5, York, 
Shrewsbury, and Preston, where there were no Classes for 
Guernsey cattle, the Guernsey breed has been favoured by the 
Society with separate Classes for animals of both sexes. In the 
earlier years of the Society both breeds occasionally competed
