JUDGING AT THE LATE SHOW.

TO THE EDIT'R. Sns, —I have always understood that the reason three experienced judges were appointed in connection with agricultural exhibits was to prevent any chance of favouritism in making the awards, in addition to their being less probability of competitors suffering from error in judgment, as might be the case where only one judge was responsible. In view of my own case, however, Jam inclined to think that there was error o judgment cn the part of all the judges appointed in the case of agricultural implements, not to say unfairness. I exhibited a gcarafier and moulder combined, which was allowed by other competent judges, on both days of the exhibition, to be far superior to the one that took first prize (mine only taking second). It looks to me as if Mr. Bainbridge had his own way in leaving me out in the cold, the other two not caring to oppose his superior wisdom. I hope that next year three men will be appointed who •will be able and willing to judge for themselves, instead of leaving it all to one man. By the way, an error occurred in Tuesday's issue, no mention being made of any prize for the above implement being awarded me at all. —I am, fte., S. Morrison". r.ipatoetoe, November 10.
