The Chester Meeting. 
udders of some otherwise good animals, and add “ good milking 
qualities ought to take a very high place in determining the 
value of breeding stock.” Class 74, Susses heifer, calved in 
1891, mustered 4 entries, of which the prize-takers “were nice 
promising young beasts.” Class 75, Sussex heifer, calved in 
1892, with 5 entries, contained “ nothing very special,” though 
3 of the heifers “ were pretty and promising animals.” 
The Judges of Sussex cattle “ would have been glad to have 
seen this useful breed — which is not much known in the North 
— better represented.” 
Welsh. — The breeders of Welsh cattle responded readily to 
the efforts that were made to secure a representative display, the 
70 entries which were made at Chester comparing with only 28 at 
Warwick in 1892. The entries were from 8 distinct counties, 
namely, Carnarvon 37 entries, Merioneth 16, Anglesey 5, Car- 
narvon 3, Denbigh 3, Pembroke 3, Warwick 2, and Cardigan 1. 
Of the 19 class prizes awarded, Carnarvon took 9, Merioneth 8, 
Anglesey 1, and Carmarthen 1, in addition to which Carnarvon 
and Merioneth each secured a Champion prize. 
Class 76, Welsh bull, calved in 1888, 1889, or 1890, with 
8 entries, could not be too highly praised. “Headed by Lord 
Harlech’s Master Tom, which also took the Champion prize as 
best male, there was not a bad bull in the lot.” Class 77, Welsh 
bull, calved in 1891, mustered 10 entries, which were “also 
a creditable lot.” The first prize bull was reserved for the 
Championship, and “ was closely followed by the other prize- 
takers.” Class 78, Welsh bull, calved in 1892, had 8 entries, 
but beyond the prize-winners “ there was nothing to call for 
special notice. As a whole they were not so good as the older 
bulls.” 
Class 79, Welsh cow, in-milk or in-calf, calved previously to 
1890, contained 8 entries. “ The prize-takers were grand speci- 
mens, combining size and quality, and some of the other cows 
were of great merit.” Class 80, W elsh heifer, in-milk or in-calf, 
calved in 1890, with 7 entries, included the Champion female, 
Colonel Henry Platt’s Bechan 2nd, whilst “there were other 
particularly good deep heifers in this class.” Class 81, Welsh 
heifer, calved in 1891, had 13 entries, most of which were con- 
sidered worthy of notice. Class 82, Welsh heifer, calved in 
1892, mustered 16 entries — “ a very strong entry both in number 
and quality, which augured well for the future of the breed.” 
Of the Welsh cattle generally the Judges say : — 
We wish to express our gratification at the large number of entries, and 
the almost uniform good quality of the stock brought before us. Excepting 
a few animals of a colour and type that would debar them from entry in
