few  inferior  ones.  The  first  prize  went  to  a fine,  well-grown, 
good  quality  pig,  No.  2419.  This  was  a really  good  young 
pig,  of  great  length  and  nice  style.  The  second  prize  went  to 
No.  2423,  and  the  third  prize  to  No.  2425,  both  excellent  young 
boars  of  fine  type  and  quality.  Class  307  (sow  farrowed  in 
1906,  1907,  or  1908)  was  a very  grand  one,  in  fact  so  good, 
that  they  all  received  commendation.  The  first  prize  sow, 
No.  2452,  which  was  also  Champion  of  the  breed,  was  farrowed 
in  1906,  and  is  of  immense  scale,  with  wonderful  quality,  a 
very  fine  type  of  the  breed.  The  second  prize  went  to 
No.  2463,  a sow  of  similar  type,  a year  younger,  and  con- 
sequently not  the  size.  The  third  prize  was  taken  by  a neat, 
good  sow,  No.  2456a.  Class  308  (sow  farrowed  in  1909)  was 
also  very  good,  the  three  prizes  going  to  Nos.  24(55,  24  6 7,  and 
2466,  all  sows  of  good  type  and  brought  out  in  splendid  con- 
dition. There  were  eleven  sows  in  this  class,  of  which  eight 
were  noticed.  Class  309  (three  sows  farrowed  in  1910)  had 
sixteen  entries  ; a very  commendable  lot.  The  first  prize  was 
awarded  to  pen  No.  2480,  three  typical  young  sows  of  good 
size  and  fine  quality.  The  second  prize  was  won  by  pen 
No.  2482.  These  pigs  were  evenly  matched  and  of  great 
size,  but  lacked  the  quality  of  the  winners.  The  third  prize 
went  to  a pen  of  nice  quality  pigs,  No.  2488. 
Middle  Whites.— In  Class  310  there  was  an  entry  of  five, 
of  which  there  was  nothing  outstanding  with  the  exception  of 
the  winner,  which  proved  to  be  Champion.  There  was  an 
entry  of  seven  in  Class  311.  The  winner  was  a very  good 
animal,  but  on  the  large  size  and  very  heavy  in  his  jowls.  In 
Class  312  there  were,  among  the  sixteen  entered,  some  very 
promising  young  boars.  In  Class  313  there  was  an  entry  of 
nine,  including  some  very  good  sows  indeed,  but  the  winner, 
owned  by  the  President,  was  quite  outstanding.  The  winner 
in  Class  314  was  a splendid  beast  with  weight  and  quality, 
beautiful  in  her  bone  and  carriage,  a most  typical  animal. 
The  winning  pen  in  Class  315  were  not  the  same  scale  as  some, 
but  they  were  splendidly  matched.  In  fact  all  the  pens  were 
worthy  of  commendation.  The  total  number  in  the  six  classes 
for  Middle  Whites  was  fifty-two  pens  with  sixty-eight  pigs,  and, 
taking  them  on  the  whole,  they  were  a most  creditable  lot. 
The  winning  animal  in  Class  314  was  the  most  true  to  type  of 
anything  the  Judge  had  ever  seen.  The  beautiful  type  and 
quality  combined  could  not  be  equalled. 
Tamworths. — The  classes  in  this  section  were  well  supported, 
and  taken  as  a whole,  the  breed  was  well  represented.  Class 
316,  for  old  boars,  was  quite  the  weakest  class,  the  first  prize 
winner  being  the  only  good  boar  in  the  class.  This  pig  was 
enormous  in  size,  wealthy  in  flesh,  and  good  on  his  legs.  In
