cring's prize animal was a mountain of flesh, with long fine coat, 
perfect colour, and immense back. 
Small Wliite Breed. — There were some very good specimens 
of this breed. The Earl of Ellesmere had a very promising 
young boar, and Mr. Sanders Spencer was successful in three 
classes, his boar " Omega " being of great excellence. 
Small Black Breed. — The breeding-sows of this breed were 
all of very high quality. It must have been a difficult matter 
for the Judges to pick out the best animal. The Rev. William 
Hooper's " Gipsy Queen " was a splendid sow, with a great 
show of hams and bacon. 
The Berkshire Boars generally .were not very good ; the sows, 
however, made a very fine exhibition, and were all commended 
by the .Judges. 
Among the pigs not eligible to compete in the preceding 
classes, there were some gocxl animals. The Earl of Ellesmere's 
breeding-sow " Kate Vaughan " had great size, and some of tlie 
characteristics of the Small White breed as well.
