At Christmas time, Smithfield Market really comes into its own. Despite all the attacks of foreign fashions, the Englishman is still at heart carnivorous, and at this season he reverts to type. Masses of meat go down his throat, and Smithfield is worked to its utmost capacity supplying them. In preparation for the crisis, a fat-stock show is held every year, when the future diner can, if he likes, see his Christmas dinner in its natural state. Mr. Haddon, who will talk about Christmas preparations at Smithfield, is editor of Smithfield's own paper - The Farmer and Stockbreeder.
