The sheep classes SOlllewhat disappointing numerically, but ^east one class, that for lambs, of merit. Tt was tihe opinion of seve- Hr Qj^fcnowin agfioulturiBts th^-t this particu- j Ss should have been divided into two—c*ne -mba a-nd another for "amy breed." The S^id arac^er °'f the exhibits gave the judges io,, C1'a.h1e trouble in decidiing the Mcomd aatd P^zea, though Mr Birch's lot of animals *& faj" ahead to cause no <ijfficulty the premier honours. %1] jTBiroh was i&deed the most euooeesful of Exhibitors throughout the day, for he ^s*?^y prominent in the horse and cattle °tSa In the horse eeotion he captured the c'^xaety's meclai and the special cup t^ioi3? fij^ft and second cards, t>Ui^~ar'y ip the "heavies," where "Bryn ^ensationi" and "Bryn Euryn Manners" Bir^i before tihem.

QyrEWORTHY BUSINESS EXHIBITS, business exhibit in, particular attracted attention dluring the day.

THE LUNCHEON. A capital luncheon was smartly served at the Marine Hotel, where a numerous company sat down, under the presidency of the genial President (Mr Walter Whitehead). A short toast list was gone through, the naime of King George being musically honoured' at the call of the Chairman who, in the course of a humorous littla speech, appealed! for the sym- pathy of the Society in performing the dirties of president and particularly those of judige. He observed that he was named as one of the judges of the jumping. I have never judged in my life, said the distinguished surgeon. I can say I know one end af a horse from another (loud laatghber)., and that is about the extent of my qualification for that office (laughter). I hope I shall be successful in indicating whidh end is first (loud and prolonged laughter). I can only hope you have all enjoyed your luncheon and that your show wall be a decided success (applause). I am wanned by a very good autho- rity that those who speak least on such an oc- casion as this will be appreciated most. I will sit down (laughter and loud applause). The Vicar (Rev. J. Griffiths) in proposing the toasfcl of the President, spoke in eulogistic terms of the very great and valuable services rendered by Mr Whitehead to Oolwyn Bay and the dis- trict, Paxtioularl-y in regard to the Cottage Hospital and other institutions making' for the relaeif of siuffeiiiig. He had also been fore- most in connection with the promotion of the Colwyn Bay National Eisteddfod, the Gorsedd being- situated in his splendid grounds. And now, added the Vicar., we have made him a real baad. With nis bardic title of trPen Gwyn" he will be able to sing in Welsh ad, lib day and night (laughter and oheers). The t-oast was musically honoured midst much enthusiasm. Mr Whitehead made a most feeling reply in the course of which he introduced the per- sonal ehemenl in a manner that profoundly touched the company. TIié Rev. H. E. Mocatta submitted the toast ol-th-o judges, Mr Collins responding. of Mr Mac. Nicoll, chairman of the committee, was proposed by Mr Hugh Da- vies, Mr Mao. Nicoll in replying referring to the? generosity of Mr Moeatta in lending his field for the show. LIST OF AWARDS. AGRICULTURAL HORSES. Agricultural colt or filly, foaled in 1909: 1, &. E.
