Beef Of A High StandardSays Hooks judge

“The beef was of high standard and fairly good type. I think they will do credit to the district in London,” said the judge on the hooks Of the chillers, Mr. F. Kelly, when remarking on the 10 carcases chosen to represent the distriot in the London competition at a field day at the Haiti freezing works yesterday afternoon.

“The five winning exhibits in tha chiller class are of outstanding quality and confirmation, good colour and a splendid eye of meat. In a recent! Hawke’s Bay competition," he said, “much was said of the percentage o t “I saw only three bodies with staggy characteristics and these are naturally not among the 10 exhibits for London, he continued. Of the first 10 exhibits he passed tha following remarks, each being taken in the order of the placing:— First, Pen 12: Nicely covered, good colour, could be a little fuller in buttocks, good suet, light shoulder and good cod fat. , . Second, Pen 24: Well covered, beautiful colour, good light suet and nice cod fat. ' , , Third, Pen 29: Good, well-covered beast, nice kidney and cod -fat. Fourth, Pen 27: Well Covered, good cod, rather heavy suet, and good butFifth, Pen 28: Slightly overdone, fair buttocks, heavy kidney fat and good beef. , ... Six\h, Pen 22: Nicely covered, fair buttocks and good beef. Seventh, Pen 4: Beautiful conformation, might be inclined to carry a shade too much, good kidney fat and cod. Eighth, Pen 23: Rather well done. Good beef. . , , Ninth Pen 7: Well covered, but perhaps a iittle too fat. Tenth, Pen 6: Rather well done, beautiful colour, heavy suet and good buttocks. . Referring to the heavy-weights, Mr. Kelly said nothing was lost on the score of condition on any of the bullocks In the first-placed pen there were three well-covered bullocks, with fair buttocks good inside fat and colour. They would make good freezers. The second prize pen contained two rather well covered bullocks and one just covered. Otherwise they made good beef with a good colour.
