710 Report on the Exhibition of Live-Stock at Norwich. 
Class 158, for Three Breeding Sows of 1886, contained nothing note- 
worthy if we except the first- and second-prize pigs. 
The Small White Boars, in Class 159, were a fairly good lot. 
Class 160, for Yoxmg Boars, contained only two entries, one being a pen 
of good quality, while the other, which was of the Middle Breed, was not put 
into the prize list for this reason. 
Class 161, for Sows, was a most excellent one, containing a number of 
pigs of great quality, and of the true type of the Small White Breed. 
Class 162, for Young Sows, contained two pens only, both of which were 
true in type and good in quality.

Small Blacks. 
The county of Suffolk comes out well in this division ; 
Mr. George Pettit takes a first and three second prizes with 
very superior specimens of the breed ; the same remark applies 
to the three boar-pigs which won for Mr. J. A. Smith the first 
prize in the Class, and to the second-prize pen of three boars 
and the third-prize sow shown by His Grace the Duke of 
Hamilton and Brandon. The first-prize pen of three breeding 
sows, shown by the Rev. W. Hooper, were as neat a trio as I 
ever saw ; whilst the first-prize sow of Mr. Duckering's is very 
good, except that she appeared to have a defective udder, owing 
to some of the teats being blind, and to an attack of garget 
from which she had suffered. 
Berkshires. 
It was scarcely to be expected that the Berkshire variety would 
muster in any very great force so far from home, still there 
were some very good specimens of the breed exhibited. In the 
Class for Boars a very level-topped, deep-sided pig easily won 
first for Mr. Vincent ; a somewhat shorter pig of very nice 
quality belonging to Mr. Darby taking second prize, — a College 
pig with a true Berkshire head being third. The three boar- 
pigs were not good ; one of those in the third-prize pen appeared 
to require an application of paint to the tip of its tail. In the 
reserved pen of Mr. A. S. Gibson was, perhaps, one of the best 
Berkshires in the Show ; one of its partners was also very good, 
but the third was lame and crampy. The Judges very justly 
considered the sows so good, that they favourably noticed eight 
of them. Mr. Darby won first prize with a sow of beautiful 
quality ; the second prize, bred and shown by Mr. Vincent, was 
also good, but her skin was not quite of the correct tinge ; other 
very good sows were Major Peploe's third and two unnoticed 
by the Judges, Mr. Corp's first prize-winner at Bristol, and
