White, Tamworth, and Berkshire Pigs. 113 
quality shown in excellent form. This sow won the medal for 
champion pig in the section (see Fig. 41). The second, No. 2308, 
a very good sow, heavy in farrow and suffering from a cold, was 
apparently feeling the effects of travelling about to previous 
shows. Class 281 was another good class of eight sows, 
farrowed in 1906. The first, 2313, not so forward as some of 
the others was of excellent type, good coat and head, and likely 
to make a good brood sow. No. 2314 was a very similar sow 
and placed second. No. 2311 was. third, a bigger sow 
altogether. Class 282 (pens of three young sows) contained 
eight exhibits ; No. 2323 won first, a pen of good pigs matching 
well and excellently shown. No. 2325, placed second, also 
matched well, and were three long, good pigs, likely to win 
another year. No. 2326, third, were not so forward in con- 
dition but of good type. Some of the pens did not match 
well, although each contained good individual pigs. 
Tamworths. — The Tam worth pig section was well represented 
in all classes. In Class 283 (old boars) the winner was the 
youngest boar in the class, showing good quality and correct 
colour, the second and third prize boars were also good speci- 
mens. Class 284 (young boars) ; the winner here was an 
exceptionally good boar, the second and third winners were 
also very good specimens. Class 285 (old sows) was the 
smallest class in the section, but the prize winners were good 
BOWS, especially the first prize sow (No. 2353) which was also 
placed Reserve for Championship. In Class 286 (sows farrowed 
in 1906) the winner. No. 2356 was an exceptionally good 
specimen of the breed, and was eventually awarded the 
Championship (see Fig. 42) ; the second and third prize sows 
were very promising animals, good colour, and free from black 
spots. In Class 287 (three sows farrowed in 1907) the winners. 
No. 2367, were well grown, good colour, and free from black, 
as also were the second prize pen. The third prize pen were 
well grown, not so good in skin and coat. 
Berkshires. — No. 2380, first prize in Class 288, a grand boar 
with size, great length, and nice quality, was also awarded the 
Championship (see Fig. 43). The same can be said of the 
second and third prize animals, the latter had been a little 
overdone and lost its hair. The whole class were good and 
most of them had H.C. or C. cards. There was no difficulty in 
selecting No. 2397 for first prize in Class 289. This was a boar 
of nice size, beautiful quality, and good markings. No. 2395 
was also a smart boar. No. 2403 showed such great length and 
size that made it an easy third. No. 2396 would have held 
a higher position had not the lower jaw been slightly twisted. 
The old Berkshire sows were a strong class. No. 2413 
possessed beautiful quality combined with size and was placed
