The statement on page 95 shows how the prizes ^were 
distributed over the different sections of the Exhibition, and 
gives the number of classes and entries in each. 
Auction Sales in the Showyard. 
The popularity of these auctions in the Showyard does not 
show any tendency to decrease, as evidenced by the fact that 
the number of animals entered for sale at Lincoln was larger 
than on any previous occasion. As will be observed, however, 
from the table printed below, the total amount realised was 
about 700Z. less than at Derby in 1906, the cattle and sheep 
figures showing a falling off.

The Attendance. 
Although the weather had been for some time of the most 
unfavourable character, and did not show much improvement 
until after the opening day, the Society were most fortunate in 
having a comparatively fine week. The attendance (133,006) 
exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine persons in- 
terested in the success of the Show, including the Railway 
Companies, whose arrangements for the carriage and accom- 
modation of visitors was evidently made in anticipation of 
much smaller numbers. As will be seen from the figures 
given in the Tables on page 96, the number of visitors to the 
Lincoln Show was the largest since the Cardiff Meeting of 
1901, when the total reached was 167,423.
