was well shown, and his Iarp;e size gave him a tailing appearance. 
Reserve Nujiber 2294 (Mr. W. A. Glynn's Surprise) is a straight bull, 
fair quality, but with a dreadfully heavy throat. 
Class 144 — Cotvs or Ileifera in Milk or in Calf calved previously to or in 
1886 — came next. In number, quality, and excellence, such a Class of 
Guernsey co\ys has never been seen before. First Prize went to No. 
2334, I'retty Dairy Maid, owned by Mr. D. Le Patourel, of Guernsey. 
This is a cow of altogether exceptional merit, indeed a splendid and 
almost perfect specimen of a Guernsey cow. She evidently was suffering 
from heat and her long journey, and did not give her milk down in the 
same free way as in the succeeding days of the Show, but for all that she 
gave eleven quarts when milked in the ring. This cow was first in the 
island Whitsun Competition, and when otEcially tested in the island gave 
an average of twenty-four quarts a day. Exception was taken by some 
disappointed exhibitors to her bag, which seemed perhaps "fleshy," but 
surely such a milking record disposes of such exception. She is a cow 
of grand quality, wonderful length, splendid milk veins, and rare escut- 
cheon. She is a trifle long in the horns, probably a defect that would 
not have been allowed had she been in other hands, more experienced 
in " getting up " for showing. We had no difficulty in placing this cow 
First, and subsequent close examination of the Class confirmed us in our 
judgment. The only doubt that existed was whether or no she should 
receive the Queen's Medal. No. 2.345 (Mr. W. A. Glynn's La Belle) is 
a well-known cow and prize winner. She is in some respects a more 
"taking" cow than the winner, being of a gayer colour and stouter make. 
She is without doubt a grand animal, level and rich in quality, but not 
nearly so fine in the chine as her conqueror. She has a fine silky hag and 
good mUk veins, fair escutcheon, and is evidently a cow of good constitution, 
and one that would easily have won if " Prettv Dairy 3Iaid" had not been 
shown. The Third, No. 229G (Sir F. A. Montefiore's Lady Ethel 2nd), an 
island-bred cow, by the famous bull " Presto," is a splendid specimen of the 
breed. She was perhaps a little too fat, but is of admirable quality and 
touch, a beautiful head and milk vein. Eeserve Number went to No. 
2315 (Mr. Morris's Sunjlmcer), a beautiful cow, as also is her mother 
Blossom, No. 2316, which would have been higher in the list if she had not 
a black nose. No. 2319 (Mr. Morris's Lady Emily Foley '6rd), Highly Com- 
MEJTDED, is also a fine old cow, but she droops a little at the rump and is not 
so fine in the throat as she might be. No. 2299, Highly Commended (Sir 
F. A. Montefiore's Constance 2nd),\\?iS recently calved, and has not recovered 
her show form, but she is a lovely animal and of excellent quality. No. 
2328, Ladybird 2nfZ, belonging to the Express Hairy Company, is Highly 
Commended. This is a well-known cow and prize winner, at her best 
inferior to none, but here rather thin and stale, but still a cow of wonderful 
quality, very level and splendid milk veins, not so perfect in one quarter as 
she once was, but still a grand cow and fine specimen of the breed. Nc. 
2340, Highly Cojimended (Mr. Julian Stephens' Muriel), a pretty heifer 
though rather small, but good head and horns and nice escutcheon. No. 
2338 (Sir J. F. Lennard's Lady No. 13) is a good cow of fair quality and 
markings, but outclassed here. No. 2346, Highly Commended (Mr. \\. A . 
Glynn's Jessie 2nd), a very nice cow, but distanced by her companion " La 
Belle." There were many good animalswhich did not receive cards, notably 
No. 2325 (Lord Londesboroiigh's Lady Flora) ; Mr. Wakefield Chri.-ty's 
Mountain Maid 2nd, No. 2326 ; Mr. George Long's Lily de Candie 3rd, 
2309 ; and the Express Dairy Company's Fair Maid, No. 2329. Time and 
space forbid a longer description of a truly wonderful class.
