The Society's Show of 1905. 
Highland— Tlie bulls were particularly good, and each of 
them was worthy of first-rate honours. The cows were also 
excellent, but not quite to such a marked extent as the bulls. 
Ayrshires.— Class 130, for cows and heifers, was the best 
filled, with 11 entries. In Classes 129 and 131, although the 
entries did not exceed five in each class, the animals exhibited 
were excellent, and a third prize was given in each case. 
Jerseys.— The Judge of the male classes reports that the 
bulls were rather disappointing, although there were individual 
specimens of the highest merit. In Class 133, for aged bulls, 
the first prize was taken by Captain Gisborne’s Glorious Lad , 
“ a beautiful bull, level, rich, full of quality, and with great 
promise as a sire of heifers.” In Class 134, the first prize bull, 
Mr. T. Butt Miller’s Cricketer , is a “ splendidly deep specimen 
with much quality, a good head and touch and fine bone ; his 
only apparent defect was a slight throatiness.” In Class 135, for 
yearlings, Mrs. McIntosh took first prize with Jolly Jim , “a very 
nice young bull, full of quality, with a beautiful top line.” 
Class 136 contained some remarkably fine cows, but also a 
good many of no particular merit in the show ring. The first 
prize cow, Ijottie , exhibited by Mr. A. Miller-Hallett, was “ a 
very fine type of Jersey in every way, showing as well when 
she was milked out as when stocked.” Lord Rothschild’s 
Day star, was also “ a remarkably fine cow, not quite so good 
in her forebag as the first.” The third prize, the same 
exhibitor’s Syren ?>rd, was “ a grand dairy cow on rather 
bigger lines.” The first two prizes in Class 137, for heifers 
in-milk, were also awarded to Lord Rothschild, the first animal 
“ showing fine symmetry and promise,” the second “ perhaps a 
trifle too fine if anything, but having a good udder, and being 
quite a dairy heifer.” The yearlings (Class 138) were good 
and even in character, and the competition between the first 
four or five animals was very close. 
Guernseys. — Taken all round, the show of Guernsey cattle 
was a very good one ; but, reports the Judge, the scarcity 
of young females with milk vessels of the correct type 
appears to prove that breeders do not use enough care in 
the selection of sires. There were only two bulls in Class 
140, “neither of which was quite in the first class.” The 
two-year-old bulls (Class 141) made a better show, and con- 
tained many animals of great merit. The first and second 
prize yearling bulls (Class 142) “ are level-topped youngsters 
of great promise.” The cows (Class 143) were excellent, 
and the first prize cow, Mr. E. A. Hambro’s Queen of Roses , 
one of the best ever seen in an English showyard. The two-year- 
old heifers (Class 144) were disappointing, and did not contain 
any animal of outstanding merit.
