also possessing mucli excellence ; the Thied Peize by No. 1906 (Mr. George 
Simpson's Bacchus), a smaller animal very well marked; andtlie RESEEVBby 
No. 1920 (^Ir. S. H. Hyde's Plejnont), fawn-coloured, of good promise. 
High Commendations were awarded to 1892, 1896, 1897, 1915, 1916, 1917, 
1919, 1934, and Commendations to 1890, 1893, 1894, 1923, 192-5. 
The Gold Medal given by Her Majesty the Queen for the best animal 
exhibited in Classes 135 to 141 was awarded by the Judges of bulls and 
cows to the bull No. 1840 (Mr. Le Brocq's Castor), above referred to. This 
animal was also the winner of the Silvee Bowl offered for the best male, 
in Classes 135, 136, 137, by the English Jersey Cattle Society. 
The Judges cannot close their report without a remark in allusion to the 
enormous expansion which Jerseys have taken at the Shows of the Royal 
Agricultural Society. The number and general excellence of the bulls 
which they are here reporting upon, when contrasted with the Classes for- 
merly exhibited at the Society's Meetings, proves not only that the breed has 
become more esteemed, but that its ^eal worth is better understood and more 
appreciated. It must be highly encouraging to its supporters to have seen 
80 grand an array together in competition at this great meeting.

Report of tlie Judges of Jersey Cows and Heifers. 
[Classes 138 to 141.] 
In last year's report the Judges of Jerseys remark, " To make this report 
of interest to those who in the future may not at the time of reference have 
a copy of the catalogue available, we have since the close of the Show gone 
carefully through the skeleton judging books with the catalogue, and added 
the names of the animals, their exhibitors and breeders." We have followed 
the same plan on this occasion. 
Class 138 — Coivs in Milk or in Calf, calved j-irevioush) to or in the year 
1885 — consisted of 62 entries with very few absentees. The animals 
submitted reached a very high standard of average merit. The Fiest Peize 
was awarded to No. 1983, Snotv/taJce, bred by Mr. C. Le Sueur, of Jersey, 
and exhibited by Mr. Arkwright, of Sutton Scarsdale; a cow showing 
excellent dairy points, both as rei;ards quantity and quality of milk ; the 
handling and touch of skin on the body and milk vessel are notably good. 
Her frame also is good, the back being level, hipbones well-placed, body 
deep, and horns fine and full of quality. Her colour is rich, and the 
escutcheon a fine broad type of Flandrine. Some might take exception to 
her being bare of flesh, but we consider this to be due to her milking 
properties, and not to any lack of constitution. Second Peize, No. 1991, 
Zinda's Belle, was bred by Mr. Le Gros, of Jersey, and exhibited by Mr. 
Cornish, of Sherborne ; a very attractive cow, but inferior in handling and 
in general quality to the First Prize ; and we consider her also to rank below 
her in the butter-yielding property of her milk. Thied Peize, No. 1960, 
Host/ 3i'd, bred by Mr. Alexander, of Jersey, and exhibited by Mr. Simpson, 
of Reigate, is a rich and symmetrical cow, a trifle heavy in the horn. 
Reseeve Ntjmbee and Highly Commended, No. 1962, Bessie. This grand 
old dairy cow is getting past her prime, and therefore appears in the show- 
ring at some disadvantage. She was bred by Mr. Mourant, of Jersey, and 
exhibited by Mr. Simpson. Highly Commended: No. 1941, Pretty Maid, 
bred by Mr. Firminger, of Jeisey, and exhibited by Mr. W. Adams of 
Gloucester, a fine rich cow with a strong constitution: No. 1967, Lemon 
Blosmn 2nd, bred by Mr. Billot, of Jersey, exhibited by Mr. Carter, of
