The Cambridge Meeting, 1894. 
Competitions of Butter-makers. 
These contests were conducted at the Dairy, which occupied 
an excellent position in the central part of the Show-yard. 
Here, also, Miss Maidment lectured every morning and after- 
noon on the six days of the Show, and, with the help of her 
assistants, gave frequent demonstrations in butter-making, 
cream cheese making, separating by machinery, &c. 
It may be useful to place on record the quantity of milk 
consumed, and of butter produced, in connexion with the Trials 
of Churns (see pp. 487-97), and also with the ordinary work of 
the Dairy.

The report of the Judges on the butter-making contests will 
be read with interest and profit by many who wish to qualify 
for these competitions. 
Tbe competition in butter-making at the Cambridge Show brought 
together classes of excellent merit. The difficulty of judging was extreme, 
in consequence of the great excellence and skill of the different competitors. 
In Class I., open to the United Kingdom, there were ten competitors, 
many of whom appeared to have contested for honours in butter-making at 
previous Koyal Shows and other butter-making competitions. The general 
merit here was of such high order that we were obliged to recognise it by 
giving prizes, high commendations, or commendations to all competitors.
