sort, all bred by himself. Lord Kllesmerc's first-prize sow of 
this variety is a compact nice pig of Mr. Sexton's breeding. 
Mr. Sexton had thus the honour of having bred all the first- 
prize animals of this breed. 
Berkshire pigs were not quite so good as I have seen them. 
Mr. Stewart's first-prize young boar is a promising specimen, 
and Mr. Hewer's first-prize aged boar is a well furnished 
animal, bred by the exhibitor. Mr. Humfrey's second boar, 
" Windermere," was sold to Mr. Snell for exportation to Canada. 
Lord Clermont's first and second prize sows of the same breed 
showed rare quality and good breeding. They won clearly in a 
large and good class, and were also sold to Mr. Snell. 
In the classes of other bree,ds several huge pigs appeared.
