be extended or contracted at pleasure to suit the dress- 

 ing. James Coultas showed very useful drills at mode- 

 rate prices. Richmond and Chandler have their usual 

 assortment, including Tennant's Scotch grubber. J. 

 Patterson shows a very novel washing machine and 

 similar churn — they work on a pivot. J. G. Smith has 

 a beautiful collection of saddling and harness and horse 

 accoutrements. Sawney showed an improved Boby's 

 screen, having a blower attached at top. G. Malthouse 

 has a clever apparatus for distributing dry manure 

 in small or large quantities. It merely consists of a 

 shogging- board, well-adjusted for its purpose. II. 

 Inman showed some good ornamental rustic houses, 

 vases, and seats. Coleman and Sons exhibit their well- 

 known potato digger for heavy rows. Messrs. Bevit, 

 Furbisher, Makin, Thackray, Tyerman, VVhardall, and 

 Wrigglesworth and Son, all of Pontefract, add greatly, 

 by their stands, to the excellency of the show. 



The dinner in the Market Hall was attended by about 

 200, and the toast of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society 

 was responded to by Mr. II. S. Thompson, who pointed 

 out at some length the untenable grounds on which the 

 leading implement makers have joined issue with the 

 Royal Society. The annual meeting was held in the 

 Migistrates'-room at the Sessions-house, under the pre- 

 ridency of Lord Berries. The Secretary, Mr. Hannam, 

 stated that at a meeting of the Council previously held, 

 it had been decided that the society should not contribute 

 to the funds of the Royal Society in connection with 

 the Leeds meeting in 1861, and it was resolved " That 

 the society do not hold its annual show next year, and 

 that no prizes be given for implements or for stock." 

 A discussion then ensued with reference to the offering 

 of prizes for the best plans for farm cottages and farm 

 buildings at the ensuing show of the Royal Society, in 

 which Lord Herries, the Hon. George Lascelles, the 

 Mayor of Pontefract, Mr. R. J. Bentley, Mr. P. Salt- 

 marshe, Mr. C. W. Strickland, Mr. J. D. Dent, M.P., 

 Mr. R. M. Milnes, M.P., and others took part. It 

 was ultimately resolved that £7^ for the best plans 

 for farm cottages, and £7b for the best plans for farm 

 buildings, be placed at the disposal of a committee, and 

 that the plans be exhibited in some convenient room 

 during the meeting of the Royal Society at Leeds. 

 Lord Harewood was re-elected president for the ensuing 

 year. The following is a list of the awards : —
