prove both the Scotch and Welsh breeds, and considerably 
increase the value of the mountain-ranges or sheep-walks. 
" In the Pig classes, I regret to say that the Veterinary Pro- 
fessor had good reason to believe that attempts were made to 
obtain the prizes of the Society by illegitimate means, and that 
the state of dentition of many animals but little corresponded 
with their professed age. The conduct of certain disappointed 
exhibitors in removing the notices of disqualification which had 
been affixed to their pens, may render it necessary for the Council 
to adopt severe measures to prevent their Stewards being set at 
defiance. There is too good reason to suppose that the men who 
rendered themselves conspicuous by their impertinence in these 
cases were well aware of the erroneous description of their pigs, 
and only anxious to secure a market for their animals." 
Lcicesters. — The 72 entries of Leicesters were 1 short of last 
year, but decidedly superior both in wool and substance. Mr. 
Borton was in great force with his rams, and his third prize one 
was Mr. Sanday's third prize shearling at Battersea, where Mr. 
Borton did not exhibit. Lie«t.-Colonel Inge took the other two 
firsts with the blood of Mr. Sanday, who was second and third 
to him in both instances. With the Worcester Meeting Mr. 
Sanday's career closes as a breeder and exhibitor in this class of 
slieep. He commenced at Northampton in 1847, and took a 
first for shearling ewes. In 1856 and 1858 he did not exhibit at 
all, and in 1854 there were no prizes. Although he has not 
always exhibited in every class, he has won during those fourteen 
years 8 firsts, 9 seconds, and 6 thirds for shearlings ; 7 firsts, 
8 seconds, and 4 thirds for old rams ; and 11 firsts, 10 seconds, 
and 1 third for shearling ewes ; besides 18 "highly commended" 
and 15 "commended." In five of these years he gained all the 
first prizes. 
The Judges have sent in this Report on the classes : — 
" Class LIII. (Shearling Rams). — A very good class. ^ 
" Class LIV. (Rams of any other age). — An average class, with some veiy 
su])evior sheep. 
" Class LV. (Shearling Ewes). — A very su2:)erior class, and some of the 
pens the best we have seen for some years." 
The Cotswolds numbered 82, or 8 fewer than last year. Mr. 
Robert Garne, who won nothing at Battersea, liad all the three 
shearling honours to himself in a c^lass of 53 (in which nothing 
but the prize takers were mentioned), as well as the third prize 
for ewes and the first prize for rams in a class which was " gene- 
rally highly commended." Mr. William Garne, who was first 
with his shearling in 1862, got no prize ; and Mr. William 
Lane, who had 2 firsts, a second, and 2 thirds on the same occa- 
sion, took only a second prize. Such are the uncertainties of 
the Show-yard ! The first prize shearling was rather better in
