1906), the nine bulls competing were all highly commended, 
every one of them being worthy of a distinction. The first, 
Mr. Miller-Hallett’s Alfriston's Pride , fully deserved his place, 
and, bred from a cow that had won honours in a butter test, 
finally took the Special Prize awarded by the Royal Jersey 
Agricultural Society. The second was Lady de Rothschild’s 
Stormer , also out of a butter test cow, and looked all over like a 
good dairy bull. The third was a fine type of bull, though a 
little high on his tail, and the reserve, though of good quality, 
carried quite enough flesh and was rather weak in the back. Four 
very first-class bulls had to be content with a high commenda- 
tion. Class 170 (bulls calved in 1907) was short in numbers. 
Lord Rothschild’s Combination Jack , an excellent yearling, 
afterwards Reserve in the Special Class for animals out of butter 
test cows, came easily to the front, and the second and third 
prizes and reserve number were very equal in point of merit. 
Class 171 (cows, in-milk, calved before or in 1904) was the best 
filled class ; the first, Mr. Miller-Hallett’s Lady Viola, was an 
excellent type of a Jersey cow, and the second, though not quite 
so good in her head and neck, had a remarkably good udder 
and good body. The third was a fine cow, not quite so good in 
her top line, and the fourth was followed by four very good 
cows, all highly commended. In Class 172 (three-year-old 
heifers) the first prize was awarded to Lord Rothschild for a 
beautiful animal named Kenta (12866), and the second showed 
great dairy promise, the third falling to a rich good heifer, not 
quite so perfect in her bag as the first and second, the fourth 
not handling so well as the prize winners. Four very good 
heifers divided the prize money in Class 173 (heifers, in-milk, 
calved in 1906), but the rest of the class was poor. The entries 
in Class 174 (yearlings) were by no means so numerous as one 
expected, but there were half-a-dozen extremely good heifers at 
the top, out of which the first heifer, Qlorina, easily drew to the 
front, very little separating the second and third prize. The 
fourth was a very neat heifer and the reserve would have been 
higher but for being a little weak in the loin. Class 175 (for 
cows and heifers bred by exhibitor and sired in Great Britain) 
was a difficult class to judge owing to the disparity in age. The 
first prize was awarded to a young cow, Post Obit, that had been 
reserve in the old cow class. The second prize animal, which 
had also taken second prize in the two-year-old class, was not 
quite so good in her bag, and she was very closely followed by 
the third prize in the three-year-old class. 
Guernseys. — There was rather a short entry of this breed, 
which, considering the distance from their home, was only to 
be expected, but what was lacking in number was made up in 
quality. The first prize in Class 177 (bulls calved in 1903,
