cows  bred  by  exhibitor  and  sired  in  Great  Britain  or  Ireland) 
was  a very  creditable  class  and  naturally  consisted  of  animals 
previously  seen  by  the  Judges.  The  yearling  heifers  (Class  175) 
were  good,  the  prize  winners  generally  showing  great  dairy 
promise. 
Guernseys. — The  competition  was  not  particularly  keen, 
owing  to  the  fact  that  Liverpool  is  so  far  from  the  Counties  in 
which  Guernseys  ai-e  kept  in  any  numbers.  Class  178,  for  old 
bulls,  was  won  by  a very  good  specimen,  Hayes  Coronation  3rd. 
Class  179  contained  some  very  good  young  bulls,  Hayes  Cherub 
was  first,  his  stable  companion,  Hayes  Fido,  being  second.  The 
reserve  animal  is  heavy  on  the  shoulder,  or  would  have  been 
placed  higher.  Class  180  was  headed  by  Hayes  Olive,  a very 
good  cow,  as  are  also  the  second  and  reserve.  Class  181  con- 
tained no  heifers  of  very  special  merit.  Class  182  was  very 
small,  the  winner  was  a gay  handsome  calf,  but  quite  fat  enough. 
Kerry. — As  a whole,  this  section  was  rather  disappointing, 
with  the  exception  of  the  prize  winners.  The  first  prize  bull, 
Lady  Greenall’s  La  Mancha  Diver,  was  an  outstanding  winner, 
being  afterwards  awarded  the  Championship.  The  first,  second, 
and  third  cows  were  true  to  type,  and  had  grand  bags.  Three- 
year-old  heifers  were  a moderate  lot,  except  the  first  and  second 
prize  winners.  The  two-year-old  class  was  small,  the  only 
prize  awarded  going  to  a very  useful  heifer. 
Dexter. — In  Class  189,  the  ages  of  the  bulls  varied  from  two 
to  five  years,  the  first  prize  animal,  Tom  Thumb,  was  a very 
short-legged,  thick-set,  typical  five-year-old.  La  Mancha  Hard 
to  Find,  awarded  the  premier  prize  in  Class  190,  was  an  out- 
standing winner,  although  all  the  exhibits  in  this  class  that  were 
mentioned  in  the  prize  list  possessed  great  merit.  Several  good 
heifers,  especially  the  winner,  were  entered  in  Class  191.  The 
young  heifers  in  Class  192  were  a promising  lot,  and  should 
develop  into  fine  cows.  These  classes,  as  a whole,  were 
excellent,  the  Champion  of  the  breed.  La  Mancha  Hard  to 
Find , and  the  first  prize  bull,  Tom  Thumb,  which  was  Reserve 
for  that  honour,  being  especially  worthy  of  mention. 
Dairy  Cattle. — Classes  194-198.  The  open  classes  were 
small  in  numbers,  but  the  local  classes  filled  well,  and  the  cattle 
generally  were  of  high  merit.  Only  four  cows  were  exhibited  in 
Class  194.  The  prize  winners  were  good  cows  with  well  shaped 
udders.  The  same  remarks  apply  to  Class  195.  Class  196 
contained  many  excellent  dairy  cows,  and  besides  the  winners 
four  others  were  awarded  highly  commended  and  com- 
mended cards.  ' Class  197  was  a good  class  of  dairy  cows 
with  capital  udders.  Besides  the  winners,  three  others  were 
! awarded  highly  commended  and  commended  cards.  In 
|,  Class  198  were  also  some  excellent  dairy  cows,  though  some
