The Shrewsbury Show, 1914. 151 



and Council with his presence, a tour of the Showyard was 

 made in an open carriage. Having seen the Produce exhibits 

 and the Working Dairy, His Majesty was driven to the Live 

 Stock section where the Royal and other Champion prize 

 animals were inspected. A halt was next made at the exhibit 

 of the Associated Portland Cement Company, which comprised 

 a farmhouse and other buildings, in re-inforced concrete, for a 

 small holding. Since the Show, these buildings have been 

 taken over by the Salop County Council and the adjacent land 

 is being worked as a small holding. 



His Majesty having next inspected the exhibits in the 

 Education section, drove through the Implement Department, 

 stopping at the stands of firms to whom the Society's Silver 

 Medal for New Implements had been awarded, and also at that 

 of a local firm who are amongst the oldest exhibitors at the 

 Show. 



Having completed his inspection of the exhibits His Majesty 

 drove round the large Horse Ring, alighting at the Royal Box, 

 which he occupied for about half an hour, watching the Horse 

 Jumping. 



The return journey from the Show was made about 4.30, 

 and His Majesty left for London by special train at 4.45. 



The closing day, Saturday, was favoured with splendid 

 weather, and among the visitors were a party of Siberian 

 Farmers belonging to the Union of Siberian Co-operative 

 As.sociations, who were over in this country studying agricul- 

 tural co-operation. 



The party, who were in charge of Mr. Wladyslaw-Baruch, 

 spent a most strenuous day examining machinery and live 

 stock, being more particularly interested in the pigs and ponies. 



The reports of the Judges have this year been omitted, as 

 it was thought that probably the very full particulars given 

 in the list of awards printed in the appendix contains sufficient 

 information for those interested in the animals exhibited at 

 the Show. 



Generally speaking the exhibition of live stock, produce, 

 itc, was excei)tionHlly good, and there has probably never been 

 a better Show held by the Society. 



Statements are given on pages 152-3 of the entries of Live 

 Stock, Poultry. Produce and Implements, with corresponding 

 figures for previous years. 



On this occasion photographs are given of the various 

 Champion Animals in the Sheep Classes. 



A noteworthy feature of the Show was the exhibition of 

 specimens of Black Welsh Sheep, sent by Lord Hai-lech and 

 Lt.-Col. Peter L. Clowes. C.B. I am informed by Mr. R. M.
