The Bristol Show f 1913. 
Ayrshires. — In Class 178a, for cows and heifers in milk, 
the first prize was won by a grand cow that had newly calved. 
A very much smaller animal with the making of a good 
milker was placed second, closely followed by the third 
prize winner, also a good animal. All the exhibits that 
received commendation were of high merit. A grand cow, 
in which was combined everything that could be desired, 
easily won the premier award in Class 178b (for cows and 
heifers in-calf). The second, a smaller cow but very u milky ” 
looking, was well worthy of her position. A handsome young 
cow was placed third, but she was too far from calving to be 
seen at her best. A young bull of a very high order deservedly 
won first place in Class 179, the second prize being secured by 
an older bull, who did not possess the same sweet quality as 
the winner. 
British Holsteins. — For a second appearance ab the National 
Show, and considering the breed is not a local one, the exhibi- 
tion of Holsteins at Bristol was distinctly creditable, and should 
encourage breeders to further efforts. Forty-one entries were 
recorded in this section, of which thirty-five attended the show. 
The old female class brought forward eight animals, all splendid 
dairy cows, but the type was not as uniform as could have been 
desired. The winner, Stanfield Phcehe, was a big framed, 
milky matron, carrying a large bag, which, however, was not 
quite level. The second prize winner had plenty of size and 
character, but the one placed third was not so fresh as the 
others. 
Garton Fullpail , shown by Mr. John Bromet, whose 
exhibits also won first and second in the cow class, was an 
outstanding winner in the in-milk heifer class, which only 
produced three animals. 
Two nicely grown typical heifers, in grand condition and 
well brought out, scored for Mr. Adam Smith in the heifer 
class, the winner having the better head, and being straighter 
at the top. The exhibit placed third was also a sweet promising 
specimen of the breed. 
Premier honours in the old bull class went to Monkton 
Man of Kent , Mr. Henry T. Willett’s big lengthy sire, which 
was not quite so well marked as the second and third prize 
exhibits, these, however, being handicapped by being much 
younger than the winner. 
The young bull class was the largest and best of the section, 
a pleasing indication that breeders are going steadily ahead. A 
big, strong, well-ribbed animal, shown by Sir Peter Walker, 
Bart., was deservedly first, his only fault being that he might 
possess greater length. The beasts placed second, third and 
fourth were all very useful, while several that did not get into
