Pigs. 
On these classes Mr. Turner gives the following Report : — 
"Class I. contained some most extraordinary animals for size, 
but many of them looked much better when lying c[uietly in the 
pen than when put upon their legs into their natural position, 
when their defects were visible. 
" In Class II. there was a strong competition. No. 934, the 
first prize, was a good specimen of his kind, although not so fat 
as the second prize, which was of good quality. The class gene- 
rally was well represented. 
" Class III. was not so good of their kind as the last, nor were 
they so numerous as Class II. 
" In Class IV. the younger pigs stood fii'st, showing that the 
breeders of this description are improving. One of this class 
was unable to stand, and was disqualified on that account ; as no 
judge can decide upon the merits of a pig that cannot stand. 
" Class V. was a good one. Many of them, like that of the 
boars of the same breed, were of extraordinary size, with quality : 
the second prize, a Berkshire sow, was a capital specimen of her 
kind. 
" Class VI. — This was a most extraordinary class — one of the 
best I ever saw ; so that the Judges had great difficulty in 
deciding. No. 974, a sow with five pigs, was one of the best in 
the yard ; although not so fat as some, in symmetry she was a 
perfect model of a sow. 
" Class VII. — Not so numerous as the former one, but con- 
taining a few good specimens. 
" Class VIII. — This was a better class. No. 1013, a very good 
sow; No. 1006, although an old one, had worn well, and kept 
her shape well. 
" Class IX. — ^Very short of numbers, and not so well repre- 
sented as the parent-classes of the same stock. 
" Class X. was a capital one. No. 1020 and No. 1021, be- 
longing to Lord Wenlock, were first-rate, particularly No. 1020. 
" Class XI. — Only one lot shown. 
" Class XII. — Again only one lot of sufficient merit. 
"With the exception of Class X. I do not consider the young 
pigs exhibited denote improvement." 
In concluding this Report — necessarily drawn up hastily, but 
not, I trust, the less acceptable on that account — I have, in the 
first place, to thank those Judges who have so readily answered 
to my response, as well as all those who so ably and so inde-
