Before givin.tr the prize-list it is necessary that we should oiler some few comments upon the qualities of the various exhibits. These must necessarily be of a very brief nature, the limited snace at our disposal and the early hour at which we go to press precluding'the possibility of our giving a report of greater leneth. Thoroughbred horses first claim our att-t-n- - Of these there was a far better «hov.than there was at list year's 'cclabihu-i, In Class J.

Peterson. Mr. Paterson's exhibit | showed any amount of quality, but Messrs. • Fleming and Hedley's exhibits were more of the farmer class of horses. Mr. Clydes- ; dale's- foal, by Cossack, promises to become a remarkably fine looking mare. In the ' extra 1 class.Messrs Williams, and Bentley had a remarkably nice hunter, -frhich has taken several prizes. He received a well deserved ! highly commended. A few good hacks were shown, bvit the ■■ competition was not so keen as in former years. The jumping events were wretched displays, but the trials of ladies' hacks uroved highly interesting. Some nieclook'ng ponies wer» shown. Tlic show of Ayrshire cattle was excel lent. Tn all-ae-ed bulls, the competi-ion was exeeedhifdy close, ten capital an:: .als euter'n,: the rim/.

'One thing, however, was to be regretted. j Tim removal of all the sheep, except tin. i prize-winner-: made the show of sheep very I meagre, nearly the whole of the pent being empty.
