Report of the Senior Steward of Implements at Windsor. 475 
Of the phenomenal entries of Live-Stock it is rather the 
province of my colleague, the Senior Steward of Live-Stock, than 
of myself to speak. 
The site for the Show ground was remarkably eligible and 
picturesque. It was a large level part of Windsor Great Park, 
known as the Cavalry Exercise Ground, situated close to Queen 
Anne's Ride and not far from the famous Long Walk. The Show- 
yard was almost equidistant from Egham, Ascot, Slough, and 
Taplow railway stations, and the area included within the hoard- 
ing" was no less than 127 acres. Some idea of the extent of the 
shedding erected may be gathered from the following figures 
showing the length occupied by the various sections : —

Horses 8,<J]2 
Cattle . . _ 12,95.3 
Sheep aud pigs (3,010

Herdsmen's rooms ... . . 1,944 
Miscellaneous 3,566 
Total 52,246 
This made nearly ten mili's of shedding, including the 
various offices and permanent buildings of the Society. Amongst 
the novel additions to the arrangements of the Show were the 
dormitory sheds for herdsmen, and the staff rooms for the accom- 
modation of the assistant stewards and official staff. The plan 
on pages 484 and 485 gives a good idea of the fan-shaped 
arrangement of the sheds. 
The Implement Yard and Dairy opened on Saturday, June 22, 
the weather being, as it had been for some days previously, 
brilliantly fine. 
On Sunday, June 23, the customary service for herdsmen 
was held at noon in a tent in the Showyard ; but an unusual 
interest was given to it this year by the attendance of their 
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Prince 
and Princess Christian, with members of their families and 
households. The sermon was preached by the Very Rev. Randall 
Davidson, Dean of Windsor, from the text, " Thou makest him 
to have dominion over all Thy works." There was a very large 
attendance, nearly all those who had the privilege of access 
being present. After the service the Royal party partook of 
luncheon in the Royal Pavilion, and during the afternoon thev 
walked round the stock sheds in order to make a leisurely and 
undisturbed inspection of the animals. 
On Midsummer Day, June 24, the Show was fully opened, 
and the whole of the day was occupied with the judging of 
stock. On Tuesday, June 25, the fiftieth annual meeting of
