GLASGOW AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



This society's sixth annual summer exhibition of cattle> 

 swine, dairy produce, and implements aud machines, took 

 place Tuesday, June 8, in the Cattle-market, Graham's-square. 

 The weather was auspiciously beautiful, and there was a large 

 and respectable concourse of spectators. In point of quality 

 the stock exhibited was good, and the entries were about the 

 same as last year. There was a pretty large variety of imple- 

 ments aud machines exhibited, including ploughs, barrows, 

 fans, crushers, rollers, &c. — indeed, this is the only occasion 

 when there has been anything like a show of implements. At 

 a meeting of the directors of the society, held on the 2nd inst., 

 A. Campbell Colquhoun, Esq , yr., of Killermont, in the chair : 

 Attention was called to certain deceptions practised at the re- 

 cent show at Ayr ; and, on the motion of Mark Sprott, Esq . 

 of Garukitk, seconded by James Campbell, Esq., yr., of Tilli- 

 chewan, it was resolved to instruct the judges at the ensuing 

 show to pay particular attention to the appearance of the 

 animals exhibited, so that any such practices, if they have been 

 resorted to, might be detected, and the animals not only ex- 

 cluded from competition, but the owners of them subjected to 

 any other penalty which the directors might think it necessary 

 to impose. During the day, it was found necessary to examine 

 the bull 151, belonging to John Stewart, Bnruside Cottage, 

 Strathaven ; and Mr. Cockburn, veterinary surgeon, gave in his 

 report to the directors that a portion of the dewlap had been 

 excised, but not recently. The directors therefore agreed, 

 by 18 to 2, that the bull be excluded from competition. The 

 following gentlemen officiated as judges :
