 OF 1855 AND 1856. 



The Society held the Summer Show at Berwick in 1854 in 

 August, opening on the 2nd of that month. The show 

 was held on the same field as in 1841. On this occasion 

 the premiums offered amounted to ;^i5oo, being within 

 ;^ioo of the amount of money given in premiums at the 

 Glasgow show in 1844, which, up to that time, was the 

 highest that had been offered by the Society. The large 

 sum offered in premiums did not arise from any specially 

 high prizes given, but was due solely to the enhancement 

 of the prizes in the various sections of the competition. 

 The show was marked by great excellence.

 premium was carried by Richard Booth, Warlaby, with his 

 Windsor 140 13, a son of Crown Prince 10087 ; the second
