PRIZE LIST. In the dairy, grazing and beef classes, in the prize list cf last week's show, the awards in 14-J and 140 a were net cntiral in the judge's book, so that we were unable to give tha results in Tuesday's paper. The reason for the omission from the liooks in class 14Da was probably because of one of the exhibitors protesting against the awards being given by three judges, whereas four .judges should have taken part. On the second day, however, the class was rejudged by the four judgea and the award* were not altered. The results were: -Class 141), II heifers, any cros?, suitable for dairy purposes, 2 yfars—C. A. Willis 1, R. F. Wilkinson 2.

Class 1-lUa, I! hellers, any cross, 1 year, suitable for dairy purposes - Harry l.andon 1, A. (i. l.atidon 2, F. W. Watts h c, W. K. I.hwto:i c. This was a splendid class with uint competitors.
