Report on, the Exhibition of Live Stock at Hull.

numbered 10, and the disqualifications on examination as 
to age 11 ; but of these latter it should be noticed that they 
only applied to four exhibitors. The Judges were unani- 
mous in saying that it had never before fallen to tlieir lot to 
inspect so many pigs of really superior quality, and in some 
of the classes they had considerable difficulty in coming to a 
decision, so nearly were the comparative merits balanced. 
We would suo'ffest that in future all exhibitors should send 
their pigs in crates mounted on loheels ; much trouble and delay, 
both on arrival and departure, would thereby be avoided, with- 
out entailing upon exhibitors any serious outlay. 
Subjoined is the Report of the Judges, Messrs. Turner and 
Lynn, as handed in to tlie Steward of this department : — 
Class 105. This was a moderate class, with the exception of the first and 
second prize pigs. 
Class 106. This class was not at all a good class of animals. 
Class 107. The first and second prize pigs in this class were very good, 
and very nearly equal in merit. There were some other very fine jpigs 
exhibited. 
Class 108. This was far below an average class. 
Class 109. This was a very good class throughont; the ].)ig to which the 
first prize was awarded was a good and true specimen of the small breed ; 
there were others in this class of which the same cannot be said. 
Class 110. This was not up to the standard of perfection. 
Class 111. This class was not well represented. 
Class 112. The pigs exhibited were somewhat inferior. 
Class 113. This was by no means a good class, and very few entries. 
Class 114. There was no competition and no great merit. 
Class 115. There were some very good animals exhibited in this class, 
especially the first and second prizes and Reserve Number. 
Class 116. Only 2 entries, and one of them was considered not of sufficient 
merit to receive a prize. 
Class 117. This was a very good class indeed ; in addition to the prize 
animal there were many of great merit ; and we commended the class 
generally. 
Class 118. Here we had a good competition, and amongst the lot were 
several good animals in addition to those to which we awarded prizes. 
Class 119. Tliis, in our judgment, was the best class of pigs ever exhibited 
at the Eoyal. There were 5 highly commended in addition to the prizes, and 
we felt compelled to show our appreciation of this class by commending the 
wliole, when there were 22 entries. 
Class 120. Here was a great falling oft' from the last class. There were none 
to commend beyond the Reserve Number. 
Class 121. This was also a very good class, and we thought it necessary to 
commend it generally. 
Class 122. There were a number of good pigs exhibited here ; there were 
three highly commended in addition to the prizes. 
Class 123. The best pigs exhibited here were disqualified by the Veterinary 
Inspector, and those left in competition were but a very indifferent lot. 
With regard to the whole Show, it appears a Avork of super- 
erogation to add anything to the pages which have been already
