SELBY, TADCASTER, AND MARKET WEIGHTON AGRICULTURAL 



ASSOCIATION, 



Ou Wednesday, July 23, this flourishing society helds its fifth 

 meeting, which was highly aucciissfut. The amount of money 

 oflTered by the society in prizes was about 350/., Lord Londos- 

 borough, the president of the society, having, in addition, 

 offered a silver tankard, to be competed for by his Yorkshire 

 tenantry, for the best lot of six shorthorned steers and lieifer?. 

 The entries of stock exceeded 500, which was an increase upon 

 the show at Tadcaster, in 1335, and about the same as at the 

 exhibition of the society last year. There was an excellent 

 collection of stock of all descriptions, the only falling off being 

 among the poultry, ia which department there does not ap- 

 pear to be the mania which existed a year or two ago. The 

 horses, hunters especially, were very superior, as also the 

 cattle and sheep. The aggregation of implement;) was much 

 better than at any previous show, one exhibitor alone having 

 80 entries. The following figures will show the respective 

 number of entries in several of the departments : Shorthorned 

 cattle, 72 ; sheep, 49 ; pigs, 25 ; horses, 240 ; extra stock, 51 ; 

 special prizes, 5. The greatest novelty was ^Fowler's steam 

 plough, which was exhibited in a field near the show-yard, in 

 the occupation of C. Shann, Esq. The plough commenced 

 working at six o'clock in the morning, and continued in ope- 

 ration during the greater part of the day, to the gratification 

 of a large number of agriculturists.
