234 The Norwich Shotv, 1911. 



undoubtedly the best. (See Fig. 5.) There were a lot of good 

 ones close behind him. Boars farrowed in 1910 made a good 

 class of very even merit. The class for boars farrowed in 1911 

 was well filled, containing eighteen exhibits, but it was not so 

 even in character and quality. A few were not quite up to the 

 required standard, but some were of excellent promise. The 

 aged sow class was not so well filled, only five competing, but 

 the two leading sows were very good. Sows farrowed in 1910 

 proved to be an extraordinarily good class, headed by Sud- 

 hourne Sadie, shown in the pink of condition. (See Fig. 6.) 

 Many others in the class were good enough to compete in the 

 very best company. In the class for sows farrowed in 1911 

 it was a very close thing between the first and second prize 

 winners, but the quality of the former just put them into first 

 place. Taken altogether it was a very fine exhibit, and a credit 

 to the breed. 



Lincolnshire Curly-coated. — Class 334 contained rather a 

 small entry. The specimens exhibited were scarcely up to the 

 average of the other classes shown. Class 335 showed improve- 

 ment on the previous class, both in number and uniformity of 

 the exhibits, and contained some good animals. Class 33() was 

 well filled, and an improvement on the previous classes, con- 

 taining some remarkably good animals and also the Champion 

 of the boar classes. (See Fig. 7.) Several animals in this class 

 should give a good account of themselves as coming sires. 

 Class 337 was well filled. The exhibits were uniform in type, 

 of great size, and good throughout. The first prize sow was 

 also awarded the Female Championship. (See Fig. 8.) The 

 Judge questions if at any Show since prizes have been offered 

 for this breed has such a splendid lot of sows met in competi- 

 tion. Class 338 was Avell filled, and contained some good 

 specimens and several animals of great promise. Although 

 scarcely so uniform in type, they were a very commendable 

 class. Class 339 contained many animals of great merit. The 

 first prize trio were remarkable exhibits and outstanding win- 

 ners, while the second and third prize winners were very 

 good specimens. In concluding his report the Judge draws 

 attention to the great- and general improvement in these classes 

 since he judged at the Royal Agricultural Show at Lincoln 

 in 1907. Greater attention has been paid to legs and feet — 

 then a serious defect — and other Aveak points have been elimi- 

 nated ; in fact a general improvement in all the classes was 

 very noticeable. 



Poultry, including Ducks, Geese, and Turkeys. 



With 1,218 entries, or 23 more than at Liverpool in 1910, a 

 new record was created in this section. The show of poultry
