udder. She is evidently a very deep milker, and her previous 
success shows the estimation in which her power of pro- 
ducing milk and butter of high quality are held by experts in 
this favourite and fashionable breed. The weak point noticeable 
is in the escutcheon, which is not so fully marked as might 
have been expected in an animal of her celebrity, she having 
been Champion at the Royal Counties Show, and first at 
Brighton. The second, " Bessie," Mr. Simpson's, is very nice- 
looking, but not quite so good in touch or style as the winner. 
The reserve of j\Ir. Mcintosh, " Verbena 2nd," ran " Bessy " hard 
for second place. Mr. Simpson was also successful in the next 
class with an English-bred heifer, " Pandora 5th." She is taller 
than many in the class, and her horns droop in a somewhat objec- 
tionable manner ; but she is the gold medallist English bred cow. 
jN ext to her w as placed a beautiful heifer sent by ^Ir. Desreaux, 
which seems to possess more points towards those necessary 
lor perfection. Her head and general appearance are certainly 
preferable to " Pandora's ; " but the latter's indications of a 
deep milker probably stood her in good stead with the Judges. 
In the 1883 Heifers, Mr. Cornish had an easy win with his 
lamed " Leonora," a beautiful silver grey, very nearly matched 
by the grey " Bernice " of Mr. Simpson, and closely followed 
by the very charming heifer, " Perry Farm Deery," belonging, 
as the name implies, to ]Mr. Desreaux. This heifer has taken 
many prizes in her native Island. " Pomona 2nd," reserve 
number, is very pretty, and the whole class of 25 entries was a 
strong one. In the Young Heifer Class, a Lancashire bred, 
very taking dark grey, shown by Rev. C, Wood, was first. Her 
colour is very fine, and her points for milking good, but her 
horns are too pointed. A very beautiful heifer belonging to 
Mr. Cornish, " Carlo's Adrienne 2nd," was unnoticed, although 
to the general spectator a remarkably taking animal. The 
elaborate Report of the Judges treats fully on points connected 
with their office, and it must be said that, although the show 
of this breed was not equal in number to those of some former 
years, yet the individual merit of many exhibited at Preston 
has never been surpassed. 
Meport of the Judges of Jerseys. 
The numerous entries brought for our examination show that a proper con- 
ception of the vahie of Jerseys is taken by exhibitors ; the number of indif- 
ferent animals was small, whilst the proporlion of good ones was large. What 
we mean by a good animal is one which bears the true type of the Island 
race, and combines large and rich milk-producing properties with good form. 
It is evident to those who have followed the great Cattle Shows of England 
for some years, that a very diiferent and much more correct appreciation of 
the true value of Jerseys exists at the present time than was the case formerly.
