Instructions to the Judges. 
As the object of the Society in giving the prizes for neat cattle, sheep, 
and pigs, is to promote improvement in breeding stock, the Judges, in 
making their award, are instructed not to take into their consideration 
tlie present value to the butcher of animals exhibited, but to decide ac- 
cording to their relative merits for the purpose of breeding. 
In the Class for horses, the Judges, in awarding the prizes, are in- 
structed, in addition to symmetry, to take activity and strength into their 
consideration.
