EDITORIAL OBSERVATION'S. 
The Leicesters were not so well represented as we have 
seen, but the Cotswold and Shropshire sheep were remarkably 
good. 
The Hampshire and Oxford-downs also maintained their 
well-deserved reputation. 
The Kent sheep, like the “ turn-wrist plough/ 5 spoke 
rather of things as they were than as they should be. 
The pigs, considering the new classification, did not num¬ 
ber so strong as was anticipated. We believe, however, 
that by next year this step of the Society will be found to 
produce the best results, as more time will have been given 
for its practical operation. Although not numerous, the pigs 
were a very excellent class. 
We append the names of the judges and their awards.
