THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE. 



of the Welsh mountain sheep than that he expressed at 

 Hanover-square last week. The fact is obvious, from 

 the beautiful animals shown by Mr. Richards (Aber- 

 gavenny), that they have the material in their own 

 hands whereby they can best effect the improvements 

 requisite to suit that bleak, mountainous district. The 

 pigs were a marked improvement upon former years ; 

 and some of the horse classes displayed great merit, and 

 would have been more generally appreciated had this 

 portion of the show been better arranged. But the visi- 

 tors, after winding their way through numerous groups 

 in the spacious markets in search of the animals com- 

 peting, were as likely to receive a kick from those shown 

 in other classes, or be ridden over by some disappointed 

 competitor — who, anxious to show the superiority of the 

 action of his horse, saddled and mounted him, and rode 

 right amongst the others.
