The following is a comparative view of the exhibition of stock 

 and implements, the premiums offered, and the receipts (gate 

 money and catalogues) at each of the shows at Sti'Ung: — 



In consequence of the Privy Council Orders prohibiting the 

 import of animals from England into Scotland, owing to the 

 existence of foot-and-mouth disease in England, the actual num- 

 ber of stock in the yard was rather fewer than stated above. 

 About 23 head of cattle, 11 of sheep, and 16 of swine, were 

 made by English breeders, in the expectation that the Directors 

 would induce the Privy Council to relax the Order. The 

 Directors, however, abstained from urging the relaxation of the 

 Order, which was made partly at their own request, and the 

 entry-money or stall-rent was returned. 



The health of the stock was reported good, no case of disease 

 having come under the notice of Principal Williams, or of Mr. 

 Stewart, V.S., Stirling, who were in attendance throughout the 

 show.
