the awards showed much promise. The very young bulls 
were at a disadvantage in having to compete with much older 
ones, but as a whole there was little to find, fault with in the 
class. Taken altogether the show of Holsteins was excellent, 
and a great improvement over the initial showyard venture at 
Norwich. 
Jerseys. — The old cow class produced a large entry and 
contained many excellent specimens of the breed, the winner 
here taking the Female Championship (see. Fig. 19). Class 188 
was not so well filled as at former shows. With the exception 
of the winners the exhibits lacked quality, but the first prize 
winner was placed reserve for the Female Championship. 
The two-year-old class was better filled and there were a few 
promising young cows. In Class 190 the animals were not 
of such great merit as the Judges have seen at former shows. 
In the class for English-bred Jerseys the competition was not 
so keen as might be expected. Class 192 was headed by a 
well-known winner, who also took the Championship in the 
male classes (see Fig. 20). Class 193 was not up to the 
average of former shows, although the winner was of con- 
siderable merit, taking Reserve Championship. A few 
promising young bulls were shown in Class 194, but the 
remainder were somewhat inferior. 
Guernseys. — Class 196 contained a few very good cows. The 
winner was of a particularly good type, with well-formed 
udder, and she was followed closely by a more aged cow not 
quite so good in formation of udder. In Class 197 a good dairy 
type of cow was first, the second being a very promising young 
cow, a trifle thick on shoulders ; the third prize winner ivas 
inclined to be a bit beefy. The winner in Class 198 was 
too high on leg, but a good young cow ; a neat cow rather 
thick on shoulder got second, a good all-round heifer taking 
third prize. In Class 199 the first was a finer bred calf than 
the others, but they were a very even lot, though most of 
them thick in hide. The first prize bull in Class 200 was in 
fine show form, and well handled, but was followed very 
closely by the second and third prize winners. An even lot of 
young bulls were shown in Class 201, with not much to choose 
between the prize winners and those who got reserve and 
highly commended. Taking the section as a whole, they were 
a very fine lot, and did great credit to the exhibitors. The 
Judge states that the Guernseys ought to be better known 
amongst farmers in England, as they are the richest breed in 
the world, and would, in his opinion, improve the quality of 
milk and butter throughout the country. 
Kerry. — Class 203 (cows) was an excellent one in numbers 
and quality. The winner was easily first, almost ideal in shape
