Report on the Exhibition of Live Stock at Liverpool. 575 
few honourable exceptions, including Lord Tollemaclic, of Peckforton Castle, 
we find most farms deficient in this respect. 
If English cheese is to hold its own in our markets, both landlords and 
tenants must increase their efforts, or our American cousins will take the lead.

The Judges of Hams and Bacon report as follows : — 
Of hams, both in British and foreign, there is only a small quantity offered 
for competition, considering the value of the prizes. This being so, we cannot 
recommend the Society to award the Gold Medal. 
British Bacon. — There are only two entries we deem worthy of merit, and 
neither worthy of the first prize — and of course not entitled to the Gold 
Medal. 
Canadian, American, or Foreign Bacon. — This class is well represented, and 
we have pleasure in awarding the three prizes.

Parade of Liverpool Horses. 
Any report of this great exhibition would be incomplete 
without reference to one of the most interesting features of the 
Meeting, viz., the parade in the yard of over 300 heavy dray- or 
cart-horses, from Liverpool, in their holiday attire, on Saturday 
afternoon. The horses were good animals — some of them very 
excellent — and all were tastefully decked out for the occasion. 
Seldom, if ever, have so many really good and very powerful 
heavy horses been seen together in such order. The largest lots 
were contributed by the Corporation of Liverpool ; by Carver 
and Co., Jonathan Blundell and Sons, by the North Shore Mill 
Company, &c. I append the order in which' the various teams 
paraded, as determined by ballot, as well as the number of 
horses sent by each individual or firm.
