To anybody who knows itmerely as it is while it houses a trade showit is almost unrecognisable during CattleShow week. If you visit it then, you fancythat all the over-fed animals in the kingdomare assembled within its walls. Massivebullocks, sheep of overpowering dimensions,and pigs of marvellous rotundity, are rangedin long lines according to class. Fat is e\er}--where. The whole show is a carnival of it. And yet how the average visitor gloriesin the grossness !

Nothing else, however, could beexpected, since he is a farmer, to whom bulkrepresents money. Agriculturists, in fact, lc)om large at theCattle Show. R
