and with reinarliable fore-quarter, shown by Mr. P. 

 Stevenson, of Rainton, commended. 



Of poultry there were 220 pens, tlie same number 

 as last year, and greatly exceeding the number at 

 Salisbury. The Spanish fowls were exceedingly good. 

 Some of the Dorkings were maguificeut birds, and the 

 Dorking chickens so good a show that the whole class 

 was commended as " highly meritorious." Mr. Ber- 

 wick, of Helmley, gains the prize here; and we much 

 admired the beautiful white chickens of Mr. Walker, 

 ofSkipton. The Cochin-China (black or white) were 

 very fine. The game fowl appeared in good plumage; 

 the chicken cLiss being especially good. We liked the 

 golden-spangled Hamburghs ; and Mr. Dawson's white 

 Bantams should be mentioned as little beauties. The 

 Dorking cocks were extraordinarily good; the Cochin- 

 China cocks of immense size. The class of Aylesbury 

 ducks was good, and the extra stock poultry class, 

 including Mr. Duggleby's eight splended Cochin- 

 China chickens, was " all commended." 



One of the most interesting exhibitions in the yard 

 was Mr. Barratt's (of Wakefield) collection of agricul- 

 tural seeds and grasses, containing about four hundred 

 specimens of each. The grasses were in great perfec- 

 tion, each growing in separate pots. It was highly 

 instructive to have placed before you every known seed 

 and plant in the kingdom, from the finest pasture- 

 grasses and cereals to the most obnoxious weeds. Mr. 

 B. received both the gold medals. Mr. Hutchinson, of 

 Sowerby, also exhibited a very interesting stand of seeds 

 and specimens of roots and grasses. Major Quentin 

 exhibited some very fine specimens of grain, clover, and 

 rye (grown in the sister country, near to Waterford) ; a 

 specimen of white oats, 21 stems from one grain; beans 

 very fine ; wheat, 58 ears from one grain ; Italian rye- 

 grass, cut 20th May, 4 ft. Gin. long, cut again 27th 

 July, measuring 4 feet, i.e., 8 ft. 6 in. in two cuttings. 

 His specimens of wheat had some surprising ears 7 

 inches in length. His specimens of wheats in grain 

 showed as follows : 78 grains weighed 77 grains, 85 

 grains weighed 83 grains, and 73 grains weighed 77 

 grains respectively.
