Report to the Annual General Meeting , 
the Yokohama Club, the Malines Poultry Club, the Japanese 
Bantam Association, the Campine Club, and the Bull Orpington 
Duck Club. The Blue Orpington Club have guaranteed four 
classes for Blue Orpingtons and the White Turkey Club two 
classes for White Turkeys. 
In the Produce section Classes and Prizes will be provided for 
Butter, Cheeses made in 1914, Cider and Perry, and two new 
features will be the offers of Prizes for Bottled Fruits and for 
Bacon and Hams. The Bottled Fruits Classification has been 
arranged so as to include competition by both the large grower 
and the smallholder. The fruit must have been grown in the 
United Kingdom. In the Bacon and Hams Classes the Exhibitor 
must be the curer and bond fide owner of the pigs from which the 
Bacon and Hams respectively are taken. The pigs must be 
bred in the United Kingdom and either be entered or eligible 
for entry in their respective Herd Books, or must be the produce 
of the first cross of pedigree pigs. 
With regard to the Wool Classification it has been decided to 
discontinue the Classes for “Any Short Wool,” “Any Long 
Wool,” and “Mountain or Moorland Wool,” and to include 
separate Classification for Wool of the respective Breeds whose 
Breed Societies desire their inclusion in the Prize Sheet. 
The British Bee Keepers’ Association will continue their Prizes 
for Hives, Honey and Bee Appliances. 
There will be the usual Competition of Shoeing Smiths in 
three Classes, viz. : — Hunters, Roadsters and Cart Horses. The 
Worshipful Company of Farriers have again kindly offered to 
present a Gold Medal to the First Prize Winner in each Class, 
and the National Master Farriers’ Association will give a Silver 
and Bronze Medal in each Class. 
Competitions in Butter-Making will be held in the Dairy in 
the Showyard on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday 
of the Show. 
The Competitions will be open only to those resident in Shrop- 
shire, Staffordshire, Cardiganshire, Radnorshire and North 
Wales, who have been pupils or received instruction in Dairying 
at their respective County Council Institutes or Dairy Schools 
since the first day of January, 1911, and who have not, previous 
to the 30th May, 1914, won a prize in an open class at the Shows 
of the R.A.S.E., Bath and West and Southern Counties Society, 
Royal Counties Society, or at the London Dairy Show. 
The Society have decided to forego their Horticultural Exhibi- 
tion, owing to the influential Horticultural Society existing at 
Shrewsbury and whose Annual Exhibition will be held in 1914. 
To replace the Horticultural section an Exhibition of Trees 
and Shrubs named in the Hand List of Trees and Shrubs issued 
by the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, will be held. 
It is hoped that the Trade and those interested in Arbori- 
culture will support the intended Exhibition and prepare 
exhibits of pot plants within the Kew Schedule of Trees and 
Shrubs.
