AT Is the system of judging and prize.giving at our shows rcnlly beneficial? rl'his iB a question which has agitated DHIDY minds for several years back, '!'here can be no doubt but that the practical experience of a great many p<Jrsons is that the deci.Jriom5 rendered at these ebo"'·s are the largest stock of BOOTS and SHOJJS ever otrOred in Bowrnanville, and upon the whole, not satisfactory. Judges are apparently either partio.I or incapable of judging - - - ·They as to the merits of this class a.nd that. tender their judgments, to be sure, but no soon· er have the people heard of them than divisions --owithout number a.re immediately formed. Some declare this exhibitor bas been wrongeO, some that, and some the otlrnr, until really a doubt supervenes in the best-balanced mind as to whether the system of judging should not be done awa.y with eotirely, 'l'ake, for imtance, cattle of different grades 1 - wha.t two can agree -oupon their qualities? _l\.nd when we def!cend from cattle to sheep and boga, the diYergence of opinion becomes much greater. '\\"hen again we descend into the seal~ of implements aud 1nunufactures in genera.l,how 1nuch more widely still do opinions differ? The fact is, our shows, it appears f.rom every point of view, whilst giv· ing a certain impetus to some in one ee1u~e, are --0-an eq\lally certu.in cloA upon others equally de· serving in another. Now, 'vhat is the remedy for all this? It must be ac4pitted tluit the gen· --o-eral object of all shows is business, traffic, gain. ANOTHER FIRST CLASS WO_ RKMAN WANTED.
