The  Liverpool  Show , 1910. 
of  good  quality.  Among  the  younger  bulls,  Red  David  was 
an  easy  winner,  though  his  competitors  were  good  specimens  of 
the  breed.  The  cows  were  of  an  irregular  type  and  size,  some 
being  beef  and  others  being  dairy  animals.  Selection  was 
made  in  favour  of  milking  qualities,  the  winner  and  Champion 
being  Waxlight  2nd,  a level  cow  with  good  udder,  and  the 
second  and  Reserve  Champion,  Frill,  a typical  wedge-shaped 
cow.  Of  the  heifers  calved  in  1 908,  the  first  three  were  a 
smart  lot.  The  strongest  class  of  all  was  the  yearling  heifers, 
and  the  difficulty  found  in  selecting  winners  augurs  well  for 
the  future  of  the  Red  Poll  breed. 
Aberdeen-Angus. — There  was  a creditable  display  of  the 
breed.  Females  were,  on  the  whole,  better  than  the  males. 
There  was  a large  and  remarkably  good  class  of  yearling 
heifers. 
Galloways. — Unfortunately  there  was  a small  number  of 
cows  shown,  but  the  quality  of  these  was  of  a high  class.  The 
best  class  of  the  breed  was  that  of  the  heifers.  The  first  prize 
bull,  Keystone , was  a typical  and  creditable  specimen  of  the 
breed.  The  yearling  bulls,  three  in  number,  possessed  excellent 
characteristics. 
Highland. — The  two  classes  for  this  breed  only  attracted 
one  entry  each,  and  these  were  both  made  by  the  same 
exhibitor. 
Ayrshires. — This  breed  were  an  altogether  superior  show. 
The  first  prize  bull,  Beuchan  Peter  Pan,  was  Champion  bull  in 
Scotland  this  year,  and  has  since  been  sold  to  go  abroad.  Mr. 
Mitchell's  first  prize  cow  in  milk  was  a very  fine  specimen, 
good  vessel  and  teats,  and  in  every  way  like  a good  dairy 
cow.  Auchlochan  McLean  was  a very  good  second,  her  age  is 
beginning  to  show  a little  but  she  is  a well-known  cow  in 
the  Ayrshire  Showyards,  having  been  a winner  at  Kilmarnock, 
Glasgow,  The  Highland,  &c.  She  was  closely  followed  by 
Knockdon  Prim.  In  the  cow  or  in-calf  heifer  class  there  were 
only  two  exhibits,  Mr.  Mitchell  being  again  the  winner  with  a 
cow  of  good  appearance,  and  Mr.  Cross  second  with  Knockdon 
Bridesmaid  IV.,  which  was  a winner  at  other  shows. 
Jerseys.— Class  170  was  excellent,  containing  as  it  did,  half 
a dozen  high  class  old  bulls  of  good  type.  Class  171  (yearling 
bulls)  was  not  a strong  class  but  the  first  and  second  prize 
animals  were  of  the  right  stamp  and  should  do  well  in  the 
future.  Class  172  was  a good  one,  a very  nice  cow  being 
placed  first,  followed  by  four  or  five  animals  of  good  type  and 
quality.  The  prize  winners  in  Class  173  were  good,  but  the 
rest  were  moderate.  In  Class  174,  the  winner  was  an 
exceptionally  good  animal,  with  two  nice  heifers  second  and 
third,  but  the  rest  were  of  no  special  merit.  Class  176  (for
