Out of the thirty-five animals tested, nineteen received 
prizes or cards of commendation, comparing, in this respect, 
unfavourably with the results last year at Derby. 
The cold season and the wet weather during the first two 
days of the Show may perhaps account for this, as, with the 
exception of the Guernseys, the average number of points 
gained shows a falling off. 
The next table gives the averages of all the cattle tested at 
Lincoln, while Table X. shows the average points gained by 
the various breeds at Park Royal, Derby, and Lincoln.
