The Cambridge Meeting , 1894 
The classes “ were, taken as a whole, of fair average merit. 
The females, indeed, were represented by a few exceptional 
animals, but we found that among the males the competition, 
though very close, did not include any animals which approached 
the ideal.” 
Amongst the aged bulls (Class 106) the first prize went to 
“ a very smart animal, lengthy and feminine in type — an 
important point in our opinion in any dairy breed — with a 
beautiful head and neck, good shoulder, and well-placed teats. 
He is somewhat deficient in richness, and his quarters droop a 
little too much, though the setting on of his tail is neat.” Of 
the young bulls (Class 107), the first prize animal just won his 
position. “ He is a rich bull, full of quality, with a fine cow- 
like head, horn and neck, good shoulders, and level quarters. 
He touches nicely, and has a fair placement of teats. He is, 
however, rather throaty— a fault which will not improve with 
age.” 
The old cows (Class 108) “contained three or four beauties.” 
The premier position was assigned to “ a cow of the very 
highest quality, and with a beautiful udder. If her back were 
straigliter and her type a little more robust she would be 
perfect.” Amongst the three-year-old cows (Class 109) the first 
prize went to one which the Judges regarded as “ the best in 
the show.” “ She is a grey cow of almost ideal beauty, and 
with an excellently well-balanced udder.” Of heifers calved in 
1892 (Class 110) the first prize animal “is a very promising 
youngster, of excellent quality, with capital shoulder and 
quarters. Her udder is large and well shaped, but the teats 
are rather too close together.” Amongst the yearling heifers 
(Class 111), the first prize animal is “a lengthy yearling of 
much quality, and with a splendid promise of udder. She is 
good everywhere, but might be richer in colour.” 
Guernseys. — Two score of entries were made up by the 
following nine counties: — Middlesex 12 entries, Hants 9, 
Sussex 7, Herts 3, Suffolk 3, Cambs 2, Essex 2, Wilts 1, 
York 1. Of the 10 class prizes, Middlesex secured 2 firsts 
and 3 seconds, Suffolk a first and a second, Hants and 
Sussex each a first, and Cambs a second. Six of the prize- 
winning animals were bred in England and 4 in Guernsey. 
The Judges report that the entries show a great decrease 
when compared with former years as regards both quality and 
number, and that the absence of fully developed, first-rate and 
valuable animals is particularly noticeable. This they attribute 
to the changes that have been made in the prize schedule. 
Amongst the old bulls (Class 112) the contest between the
