The rain ceased before 10 o'clock and the attendance giew to nearly a thousand people, who were treated to a first-class programme. The reputation of the Clevedon fixture for good horses and horsemanship was well maintained. This year there were 6ome splendid draught horses, as well as good hacks and hunters. In the cattle classes, all the dairying breeds were worthily represented. The sheep exhibits included some fine Romneys, Southdowns, English Leicesters and Corriedales. The quality of the Berkshire pigs was favourably commented tipon. .
