But to come to more recent times, we find the entries at 
Norwich larger than any year since Kilburn, 1879, when the 
Show was International. 
The following tabulated statement shows the present number 
of entries in the stock division, in comparison with those made 
at five previous years : —

Some of this increase may be due to the fact that " post 
entries" are now permitted, and to what extent Mr. Jenkins 
would of course be able to say. 
To further examine these figures it is instructive to note 
from what counties they come. 
Norwich is in that subdivision of England known to the 
Council as the A. division. This comprises Bedford, Bucks, 
Cambridge, Essex, Herts, Hunts, Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxford, 
and Suffolk ; and I find that this division supplied the large 
proportion of 857 exhibits out of the total of 1825, and in the 
proportions shown in the list on p. 668. 
It will be further seen from that list, that out of the 
857 exhibits supplied by this A, Division the counties of 
Norfolk and Suffolk contributed 623 ; of which 497 were made 
up of Suffolk Horses and Red Polled Cattle, and these two breeds 
formed a most prominent and handsome feature of the Show. 
The Suffolk horses numbered 91, and though they can boast of 
a very ancient pedigree, which seems to be borne out by their 
uniformity of type and colour, still they seem to have remained
