AGRICULTURAL SHOW.
At the Agricultural Show held at Messrs. Bethune and Hunter's Stockyard, yesterday, the following were exhibited : — HORSES. Class I—Antidote,1 — Antidote, filly, out of imported mare— Mr. Howe - I Class 2— Suffolk Punoh, chesnut imported
entire, Hero, rising four years — N. Death, Ist prize Class 3— Bay Cob, bred in the colony— A. Johns on. Skewballed Pony— G. Luxford. CATTLE. Strawberry cow, red cow, red heifer— C. Luxford. Six bullocks and cows— E. Barber A lot of cattle were also exhibited by Mr. G. Hui»ter. SHEEP. In class 2 were some fine Leicester Ewes and Rams, exhibited by Mr. W^ B. Rhodes. Best ram bred in colony — Mr. G. Hunter Class 3— Some fine Cotswold ewes and rams Class 4 contained some beautiful Southdowns. Pigs were well represented by five or six pens of different breeds ; and poultry by the dorking and Spanish breeds. On the whole the exhibition could not be considered a success. There is a feeling that the yards of Messrs. Bethune and Hunter are not well adapted for the purpose ; as far as we could judge by yesterday's show, there was plenty of empty pens and space to spare. No doubt the next year's show •will be held in the Market Hall, which certainly would be an improvement.
