called in, decided in her favour. The second prize heifer was 
“ very straight, possessing a smaller vessel than the first prize 
heifer ; she had, however, a straighter top-line, and was a fair 
type of a Guernsey.” Class 109, Guernsey heifer, calved in 
1892, had twelve entries, and the premier place was given to 
“ a very good, straight heifer, perhaps failing a little in touch of 
skin, but of fairly rich quality.” 
“ The Guernsey classes,” add the Judges, “ were well filled, 
considering the northern position of the Show, and the small 
number of breeders residing in the district. We are glad to 
report favourably on the number and quality of the Guernsey 
cattle exhibited.”

fully up to the average.” In Class 110, Kerry bull, “some 
good animals had to be put aside, owing to the rule as to no 
white in bulls, as arranged by the Royal Dublin Society.” 
Dairy Cattle. — There were 55 entries comprised in five classes. 
They were catalogued, 40 as Shorthorns, 2 as Ayrshires, 1 as

In Class 117, dairy cow, in-milk, whose last calf was born 
more than three months before the first day of the Show, out of 
11 entries “the prize cows were very useful.” In Class 118, 
dairy cow, in-milk, whose last calf was born within three months
