The Doncaster Meeiing. 
Jerseys. — There were 192 entries of this favourite breed, the 
number being somewhat in excess of that in the Plymouth 
catalogue. The quality of the individual animals was, as a rule, 
very high. The 18 prizes awarded in the six classes were well 
scattered, Herts taking four, Essex three, Somerset three, 
Pembroke two, Yorks two, Bucks one, Cambridge one, Derby 
one, and Dorset one. Of the 18 decorated cattle, 11 were 
bred in Jersey, and 7 in England and Wales. 
Amongst the aged bulls (Class 93), the Judges found that the 
wide differences between the ages placed the older animals at a 
great disadvantage, as the younger ones are almost invariably 
more symmetrical. The first prize went to a bull of great 
richness in Mr. J. W. Crookes's Pomona's Daily. Though of 
similar type. Sir Reginald Graham's Norton Nero was " not so 
rich and not so good in setting on of tail." Mr. W. E. Budgett's 
third-prize bull, Roseherry, possessed great length and quality. 
These three bulls were none of them island-bred. 
Of the yearling bulls (Clasp 91) the first-prize animal, Mrs. 
Mcintosh's Penny Gome Quick " has grand lines, a heifer-like 
head, and great length, but is a trifle throaty." Lord Rothschild's 
Gift, " not quite so good in line of rump and setting of tail," 
was second ; and Mr. Percival H. Fowler's Bird, " of great merit 
but rather light in quarter," was third. These winners were all 
island-bred. 
In Class 95, for cows in milk, born in or before 1887, the 
first prize went to Mr. James Blyth's Lady Safety, " a small 
cow of true Jersey type, with splendidly shaped udder and fine 
niilking points." The Earl of Londesborough's Precoce II. is 
" an excellent dairy cow, but shows a tendency to lightness in 
the near-side quarter of the fore-bag." Mr. William Arkwright 
was third with Carillon, ' a grey cow, rather undersized, but 
of great milking capability ; not quite clean in throat." There 
was scarcely an animal in this class which did not possess con- 
siderable merit. The three winners were island-bred. 
Class 9G, for three-year-old cows, was the smallest of 
the Jersey classes, the entries numbering twenty-five. The 
substantial awards all went to island-bred cows. The first- 
prize cow, Mr. Walter Barron's Lady of the Lal-e 4th, carried 
a remarkable udder, which was, however, slightly wanting 
in colour. She was almost equalled by ]\[r. Blyth's 
Princess Alice, but the latter is "a little long on the leg." 
Mr. Joseph Brutton's Mahcl 2]st is a yellow fawn of good 
quality. 
In the two-year-old heifers (Class 97), the v/inner waa 
Mr. H. J. Cornish's Miranda, " a bronze fawn of great beauty,
