The Bristol Show , 1913. 
225 
entries. A large but rather disappointing class, containing 
three good boars and a number of useful ones. The first 
prize animal stood out alone, full of quality, and very deep and 
square. The second, Bixley Sutler , was a thick boar of good 
length, but rather black in skin. The third prize winner was 
of the same type as the first but narrower and not so deep. 
Class 344, breeding sow farrowed 1909, 1910, or 1911, was fair, 
headed by Lustleigh Marchioness 18th, a square deep sow of 
excellent quality and type. She won easily, and was finally 
Champion sow. Sudbourne Miss Kitty was second, very thick 
and level but rather short and lacking in scope. Third came 
Treveglos Lass 6th , long and typical, with first class 
hams, but cut in over the loins. Class 345, large black breeding 
sow, farrowed 1912, was the best of all with ten entries. The 
winner and subsequently Reserve for sow Championship was 
Treveglos Angelina 2nd , a beautiful sow of superb quality, 
long, deep, level and typical. Second was Drayton Annie , 
a quality sow of good length with great back and loins and 
square frame. Flower of the Valley was a very close third, a 
model of symmetry and quality. In Class 346 for pen of 
three sows farrowed 1913 (nine entries), Messrs. Whitley won 
narrowly with a very well grown pen, well coated, and with 
any amount of size and scope, but Mr. F. A. Perkins’ trio were 
beautifully matched pigs of neater stamp, and there was little 
to choose between them. There were no better matched nor 
finer quality pigs than Mr. J. Warne’s third prize pen, but 
they were a little short from pin to tail, and less developed 
owing to youth. 
Lincolnshire Curly-coated. — The Judge was pleased to note 
the great improvement in the several classes, thus demonstrat- 
ing what can be done by careful breeding in selecting the best 
animals. 
Poultry, including Ducks, Geese and Turkeys. 
The poultry section at Bristol was the best that has ever 
formed part of the Royal Show. The entries — a total of 4,436 
in 440 classes — constituted a record, and the quality of the 
exhibits, taken as a whole, was excellent. The work of 
adjudication was divided as follows: — Mr. C. Sneddon judged 
the Game and Bantam classes ; Mr. Clem Watson, the Langshan, 
Leghorn, Minorca, Dorking, Yokohama, Brahma, Cochin, 
Faverolle, Houdan, any other distinct variety, and Yokohama 
Bantams ; Mr. H. P. Mullens, the Croad Langshan ; Mr. 
Stainthorp, the Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes ; Mr. E. A. 
Cass, the Buff, White and Black Orpingtons ; Mr. W. W. 
Broomhead, the other Orpington classes, Sussex, British Rhode
