Reports of Shows — continued. 



Allintftoii Pippin were remarkably stroiiif classes, the 

 chief prize winners beinjf L. A. Beamish, S. Bowles, 

 the Misses Pike and Lady Bandon. For culinary apples 

 Lord Derby, Warner's Kin^-, Peastfood Nonsuch, The 

 Queen, Lane's Prince Albert, Bramley's Seedling-, 

 Annie Elizabeth and Mere de Menag-e were remarkable 

 for size, colour and large entries in each class. J. F. 

 "V^^illiamson, M. Enright', M. Hennerty, Dr. Osburne, F. 

 Hall, the Misses Pike and Lady Scott were among- the 

 chief prize takers. Collections of apples were remark- 

 ably fine, S. Bowles, Dr. Osburne, L. A. Beamish, and 

 the Misses Pike winning- prizes with largfe fruit of g^rand 

 coloiw. 



Pears were only shown in limited numbers, but then 

 thev are generally a bad crop this year, L. A. Beamish, 

 Mr." and Mrs. Lane, A. M'Ostrich, Sir R. W. P. Fitz- 

 gerald and Lady Scott winning- the chief prizes. 



Fruit in packag-es I was much disappointed with, as, 

 with the exception of those from Mr. L. A. Beamish, 

 which were fair, all the other competitors' packing- left 

 yery much to be desired. 



Veg-etables were larg-el}' shown, and g-enerally of 

 g-ood quality, onions being- remarkably fine, but pars- 

 nips and carrots very coarse. Beet and celery were 

 not cut by the judg-e— a mistake, I think, in strong- com- 

 petition. Potatoes were very strong- classes, many 

 g-rand dishes being- shown. W. T.

In connection with the agricultural show held by the 

 North Kildare Farming Society on October 14th, a 

 number of classes were provided for fruit, flowers, and 

 veg-etables, and thoug-h the season in this county has 

 been unfavourable for fruit and veg-etables, both quantity 

 and quality were more than fair. The chief prize-

The above fruit show was held in the Town Hall, 

 Waterford, on the 6th and 7th October. The various 

 exhibits were really meritorious, and altogether an 

 advance on the previous showhe Id in Piltown last 

 year. 



In looking through the numerous exhibits in the fruit 

 classes it was difficult to sing-le out anyone for special 

 mention. Reference, however, must be made to the 

 fruit stag-ed by Mr. Baker, g-ardener to Lady Clara 

 Fitzg-erald, Newmarket-on-P'erg-us, which was well 

 above the averag-e, and finely coloured. The fruit ii-i 

 the class for small farmers deserve a word of praise ; 

 the judges commended highly on the uniform excellence 

 of the exhibits in this class. Mr. A. G. Bowers, Silver- 

 spring, Piltown, secured a g-reat number of prizes, the 

 superior stagfing- of his fruit being- very noticeable. 



The judges were Messrs. F. W. Moore, Wm. Tyndall, 

 Charles Lang-ley and G. S. M' Donald. 



The "first prize" witiners were (i) Dessert Apples — 

 Richard Dalton, Jamestown, Piltown ; Lady Clara
