also as containing many good animals of individual merit, both 
as regards looks and milking capabilities, one cow exceeding, 
and three others yielding close on, four gallons of milk at the 
single milking. This class contained both the Champion, Lord 
Rothschild’s Gift 2nd, and Reserve Champion for the best 
Dairy Shorthorn cow or heifer. In Class 101 (cows calved 
in 1904) there was a short entry, but the winners did credit to 
the breed, the first prize, Primrose 4 th, exhibited by Lord 
Rothschild, being of particularly good dairy type. Class 102 
(heifers calved in or after 1905) contained a good entry, 
but there were several absentees. It was a very good class 
throughout, the first and second prize heifers showing fine 
Shorthorn character. The milk yield of the whole class was 
far above the standard. The Special Local Prize Class was 
poor, with but two entries. 
Lincolnshire Red Short-horns. — Considering these animals 
were some distance from home, the classes were fairly well 
filled. Class 106 (bulls calved in 1903, 1904 or 1905) con- 
tained five exhibits, which were all representative and typical 
of the breed. Class 107 (bulls calved in 1906) contained two 
useful bulls in moderate condition. Class 108 (yearling bulls) 
was strong, the first prize animal, Stenigot Bloom Boy 2nd, 
being a clear winner with some good typical bulls behind him. 
Originally well filled, several animals were absent when 
Class 109 (cows, in-milk, calved in or before 1904) came into 
the ring. There was very little to choose between the first 
three cows. Class 110 (heifers, in-milk, calved in 1905) 
was small, the first being an easy winner and a good heifer. 
Class 111 (heifers calved in 1906) was the weakest in the 
Show, but Class 112 (yearling heifers) was the largest and 
best class of the breed, including some beautiful heifers. 
Herefords. — In Class 114 (bull, calved in 1903, 1904, or 
1905) there were very good entries considering the long way 
from their homes. No. 1080, Mr. G. D. Faber’s Rob Roy 24953, 
was specially good, being awarded first prize and eventually 
winning the Championship as the best Hereford bull. H.M. 
The King’s second prize bull, Admiral 23256. a very fine 
specimen, was Reserve Champion. The third and fourth were 
very good bulls. Class 115 (bulls calved in 1906) was rather 
small, the first prize animal, Lancaster 25480, being a big 
stylish bull and likely to make a good sire. - He won rather 
easily. The second prize bull was also a big animal and will 
be heard of in the future. Only five animals were shown in 
Class 116 (yearling bulls), four of them being nearly equal 
in merit. The first prize cow, Merriment , shown by Lord 
Coventry in Class 117 (cows or heifers calved in or before 1905) 
won very easily and was Reserve for Champion, the other three
