PIGS.

AWARDS MADE BY JUDGES. Judging In the pig classes was slow and at the luncheon interval there were several sections in which the judges had not begun their work. In the Large White section both the champion boar and now were considered outstanding, essentially type * B °th had plenty of length ana ham and good constitutions. The judge considered that both champions would hold their own in the highest company. Entries in some classes were rather disappointing. In the Berkshire section the aged boars and sows were excellent and other prizewinners were up to standard. Berkshire (Judge, Mr. O. C. EllermJ Sanson).—Boar, 14 months and over: W.
