in bone." Certainly, to the ordinary observer at Windsor there 
were animals in the Middle White classes which might quite as 
appropriately have been entered as Ijarge Whites, while there 
were Small Whites which looked as heavy as some of the Middle 
Whites. The Judges emphatically expressed their opinion on 
the subject by declining to award a prize to a pen of sow pigs 
because they were too much like Large Whites. There were 
thirty-one entries, the prizes being won by the executors of the 
late Earl Radnor, Messrs. J. Carter & Sons, G. Charnock, Joseph 
Nuttall, C. E. Duckering, and E. T. Chalk. 
The Small Whites probably owe much to the effect of early 
crosses with the Chinese breed. They have somewhat waned in 
favour of late years, owing, perhaps, to their tendency to delicacy. 
To them, however, the Middle Whites are undoubtedly indebted. 
There were only twenty-three entries, and the prize-winners were 
the executors of the late Earl of Radnor, the Earl of Onslow, the 
Hon. Mrs. Meynell Ingram, and Mr. Joseph Saunders.

awarded her the First Prize. Second Peize (Mr. George Charnock). Good 
in hams and hair. Thied Peize (Mr. C. E. Duckering). A good level 
sow ; rather lacking in size as compared with the First and Second Prize
