through the different parts of the Show, and were much 
interested in the various exhibits. 
On Friday the “ Local ” Classes of the Lincolnshire Agri- 
cultural Society were judged in the Showyard, the animals 
entered in this section being required to remain in the Yard for 
the one day only. On Saturday the Local Committee arranged 
a most successful and interesting Military Tournament which 
was given by the Lincolnshire Imperial Yeomanry. It was 
perhaps unfortunate for the Society that the Channel Fleet was 
lying off Grimsby on Saturday, as undoubtedly a great many 
visitors who would otherwise have attended the Show were 
attracted to Cleethorpes and Grimsby, to both of which places 
excursion trains were run by the Railway Companies. 
The Band of the Second Battalion of the Lincolnshire 
Regiment, conducted by Mr. A. R. Hurst, performed selections 
of music in the Showyard during the week. 
Entries. 
At the first Lincoln Meeting the total value of the prizes 
offered was 1,510?., as compared with the very liberal prize

only been exceeded on two occasions — at the International 
Shows held at Kilburn in 1879, and at Windsor in 1889. Of 
the total amount, 2,607?. was contributed by the various 
Stud, Herd and Flock Book Societies, 1,000?. by the Lincoln 
Local Committee, and 139?. by the Lincolnshire Agricultural
