Class 93, Galloway bull, calved in 1888, 1889, or 1890, had 
but 2 entries, and the premier award went to “ a magnificent 
animal combining substance and quality in a remarkable degree.” 
Class 94, Galloway bull, calved in 1891 or 1892, had 5 entries,

“ very superior quality and level outline.” The second and third 
animals were “ rough ” or “ faulty” at the tail-root. 
Class 95, Galloway cow or heifer, in-milk or in-calf, calved 
previously to or in 1890, attracted 8 entries, and contained 
“ several beautiful specimens of the breed.” The first prize cow 
possessed “ genuine Galloway character and grand symmetry.” 
Class 96, Galloway heifer, calved in 1891 or 1892, secured 9 
entries. The premier place was assigned to a symmetrical and

away in the hind quarters. “ Altogether the breed was very

tives of the breed.” The first prize went to a two-year-old, and
