EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS. 547 
A communication was addressed to the Local Authorities 
of Cardiff, inquiring what steps had been taken by them 
under the 57th Section of the Contagious Diseases 
(Animals) Act to provide for the reception of diseased 
animals which might be detected outside the show yard, and 
the reply was most satisfactory; the local inspector, Mr. 
Moir, veterinary surgeon, was instructed to take charge of 
all animals dealt with in contravention of the Act, and under 
this gentleman’s directions all the required measures of pre¬ 
caution were adopted. 
In order to provide for ’the isolation of animals which 
might be attacked in the show yard, a shed was erected at a 
point quite remote from the animals in the yard, but happily 
was not brought into requisition. 
The exhibition of stock was up to the average. Agricul¬ 
tural horses were in considerable force, and among them 
some good animals were shown. The hunters were not a 
very satisfactory class, and the roadsters still less so. 
It would be difficult to write anything new or particularly 
instructive respecting the cultivated herds of cattle, sheep, 
and pigs ; in all varieties the culminating point of artificial 
excellence would seem to have been reached. 
We subjoin a list of the awards.
