with good head and horn, and good udder." Mr. Brutton'a 
Golden Lass 7th proved a little coarse in the hind quarters. 
Mr. Baxendale's Berheris is a home-bred heifer of great milking 
quality, " but a little ungainly in horn." 
The yearling heifers (Class 98) made the largest of the 
Jersey classes, with 40 entries. The first prize went to Lord 
Rothschild's Pontorson 2nd, " a grey calf with perfect outline, 
good promise of udder, and well-placed teats. Mr. Edwin 
Cash's Mamie has great depth and quality, but is not perfect in 
touch. Mr. J. W. Crookes took third prize with Bessie Blad: 
These three heifers are all home-bred. 
Guernsey. — In the four classes there was a total of 51 entries, 
of which 46 went into the ring. The former number compares 
with 72 in the Plymouth catalogue; but the distance of Doncaster 
no doubt had its effect, and only five animals were entered dii'ect 
from the island. The quality of the display was, on the whole, 
equal to the average of recent years. Of the 12 prizes awarded, 
seven went to animals bred in Guernsey. 
Several of the aged bulls (Class 99) possessed great merit, 
and the first prize was awarded to Mr. Christie-Miller for Our 
Prince. This bull was island-bred, as were also the second and 
third, Mr. H. M. Ozanne's Ringleader and Colonel Shakerley's 
Paradox. 
Only five yearling bulls (Class 100) came before the Judges. 
"This, in point of merit, was the weakest class in the section, 
the animals being more or less inclined to throatiness." The 
winners were none of them island-bred. 
Class 101, for cows calved in or before 1888, was of great 
merit. Before finally making their awards the Judges had the 
selected animals milked .in order to assure themselves that the 
udders when empty were still satisfactory. Sir Francis Monte- 
fiore's island-bred Fortuna was first, Mr. Julian Stephens's island- 
bred Muriel was second, and the Hon. Mrs. A. Baillie Hamilton's 
home-bred Romaine ord was third. 
The two-year-old heifers and yearling heifers competed to- 
gether in Class 102, and the contest resulted in the victory of three 
island-bred animals. Sir F. Montefiore's Volunteer being first. 
This was the largest of the Guernsey classes, 21 animals coming 
forward. " The Judges found great difficulty in making their 
awards in consequence of having to compare yearling with two- 
year-old heifers." As a matter of fact each of the winners was 
nearly 2^ years old. " The younger animals have very little 
chance^^in competing with those a year older, many of which have 
calved, or are near calving, and showing signs of udder develop- 
ment." Although the class was open to heifers " born in the
