it was well filled, and altogether 17 of the animals were noticed 
by the Judges. The first prize was bestowed upon a bull 
which, “ for richness of handling and general character,” well 
deserved the honour. 
Class 101, Jersey cow, in-milk, calved previously to or in 
1889, was “ a good class” of 21 entries. The animals selected 
for first and second places, “ though built on different lines, 
were two very fine specimens of Jersey cows.” The first “ had 
the most perfect fore-bag and best-placed rump-bones,” but the 
second “ was her superior in head, neck, and general outline.” 
Class 102, Jersey cow, in-milk, calved in 1890, contained 13 
entries, and the first prize went to “ a fine, straight, rich heifer 
with good markings.” Class 103, Jersey heifer, in-milk or in- 
calf, calved in 1891, with 25 entries, “was a better class than 
the preceding.” For the principal award the Judges selected 
“a promising heifer, straight and rich, udder emptying well, 
and good milk-veins.” Class 104, Jersey heifer, calved in 1892, 
had 23 entries, and “ was a good class.” The first prize went to 
a heifer “ level, long, and handsome.” 
“The classes of Jersey cattle,” say the Judges, “were, on 
the whole, of a level and good average in point of merit, and 
well-filled.” 
Guernseys. — This breed, with 53 entries, was better repre- 
sented than at Warwick last year. Sussex contributed 14 entries, 
Middlesex 11, Chester 6, Isle of Wight 5, Herts 4, Wilts 4, 
York 4, Hants 3, and Salop 2. Of the 13 prizes Middlesex 
obtained 5, Sussex 4, Herts 2, and Isle of Wight 2. The prize- 
winning cattle were bred, 8 in England and 5 in Guernsey. 
Class 105, Guernsey bull, calved in 1889, 1890, or 1891, 
had 9 entries, and the leading award went to “ an island bull, 
with good top-line, fairly rich in quality, and good skin ; this 
bull had well-placed teats.” Class 106, Guernsey bull, calved 
in 1892, with 7 entries, “was a disappointing class, and below 
average merit.” 
Class 107, Guernsey cow or heifer, in-milk, calved previously 
to or in 1890, had 10 entries, and “was an exceptionally good 
class, and of more than average merit.” The leading place w r as \ 
assigned to “ a beautiful cow, first at Warwick last year, very \ 
straight top-line and beautifully fine in the withers ; her milk- , ‘ 
vessel is not so good as it was, but in spite of that she somewhat 
easily retained premier position.” Class 108, Guernsey heifer, 
calved in 1 891, with 15 entries, “ was the largest class presented, 
and contained many promising animals.” The first prize went 
to “ a very straight, good heifer, rich in quality, and giving 
promise of an excellent vessel, but rather inclined to coarseness
