The Cambridge Meeting , 1894 . 
439 
champion awards ; Cambridge, Surrey, and Suffolk obtained 
one prize each. The report states : — 
All the classes were numerically well filled, and presented a very credit- 
able appearance. The old bulls, the cows, and the heifers were particu- 
larly good, but among the young hulls and some of the heifers 9lack loins 
and high tails were too prevalent. The females, with few exceptions, showed 
good milking properties, and excellent quality of flesh. 
Aberdeen Angus. — Of this breed there were 33 entries, com- 
prising 22 from England and 11 from Scotland. The English 
contingent represented eight counties, viz., Bucks 4 entries, 
Essex 4, Northumberland 3, Sussex 3, Bedford 2, Gloucester 2, 
Middlesex 2, York 2. From Scotland 5 were entered by 
Aberdeen, 3 by Banff, and 3 by Midlothian. Of the 8 class prizes, 
the three Scottish counties each took a first and a second, whilst 
Middlesex secured a first and Bucks a second. The solitary 
champion award fell to Middlesex. 
The display was excellent. The aged bulls (Class 96) in- 
cluded “ several animals of outstanding merit, and there was 
very little to choose between the first and second prize animals.” 
Mr. Crisp’s champion Gilderoy “ is of great substance for his age, 
and carries a great amount of flesh.” 
Galloways. — To the 11 entries of Galloway cattle Cumberland 
contributed 4, Dumfries 3, Kirkcudbright 3, and Berwick 1. 
Of the 7 class prizes, Dumfries secured 3, Cumberland 2, and 
Kirkcudbright 2. 
The display made up “a very fair representation of the 
breed as to quality.” The cows and heifers “ were remarkably 
good, particularly the first and second in each class.” 
Ayrshires. — A small lot of 7 entries represented the 
Scottish dairy breed. Dumfries contributed 5 of the entries, 
and took all of the 4 prizes; the 2 remaining entries were 
from Kirkcudbright. The quality throughout was “ first 
class.” 
Jerseys. — In this section 143 entries were contributed by 
20 different counties, as follows Essex 32, Herts 24, Sussex 
17, Chester 11, York 8, Cambs 7, Hants 7, Bucks 6, Suffolk 5, 
Island of Jersey 4, Somerset 4, Surrey 4, Kent 3, Middlesex 3, 
Rutland 2, Warwick 2, Devon 1, Lancaster 1, Leicester 1, 
and Norfolk 1. Out of 17 class prizes, 3 firsts and 2 seconds 
went to Chester, whilst the counties of Essex and Herts each 
took 3 prizes, and the counties of Suffolk, Sussex, and York 
2 prizes each. Of the prize- winning animals, 10 were bred 
in Jersey and 7 in England. All 6 of the prize cows were 
island-bred, and all 3 of the prize yearling heifers English- 
bred.
