The committee suggested that the new committee should give a champion prize of £2 for the best Alderney and a similar prize for the best Ayrshire milch cows, to be judged in their respective classes. Mr G-. G. Russell was again elected president, and Messrs Duckmanton, Kerr and C. Weir vice - presidents.
