CATTLE SHOW. 



Tlie team of Working Catllo which has been v.'itiiess- 

 ei] on former occasions has formed a very intcrestinj; part 

 of the exiiihition by the Worcester County Agricultural 

 Society. The Trustees of tlie Society are p irticularly 

 desirous of seeing at the approacliing F nner's Festival, 

 a favorable exhibition of the working stock of the County ; 

 for this purpose they have authorized the Coinmitlee ol 

 Arrangements to offer for a team of good Working Cattle 

 to consist of not less than 60 yoI<es, and all of them owned 

 in tlie same town, a gratuity i.f $25 to defiay the ex- 

 penses of those who may drive them, The Committee 

 would appeal to the public spirit of their agriculfural 

 brethren in towns which can, without ;^reat inconveni- 

 ence, furnish such a team, for their exertions to secure an 

 object so much desired. The gratuity will be paid to 

 those who may first give notice of their intentions to ex- 

 hibit such a team, to the Corresponding Secretary of the 

 Society, provided, that the Committee on Working Cat- 

 tle shall approve of such team. 



The Committee of Arrangements would congratulate 

 t!ie Members of the Society on the prospect of a highly 

 interestinir exhibition ; they have received assurances 

 from different sections of the County, that the Show for 

 numbers of animals and articles to be exhibited, and for 

 variety and excellence, will exceed that of any former 

 year. 



Those who intend to compete in the Ploughing Match 

 ore reminded that the notice nf such intention must be 

 filed with the Corresponding Secretary on or before the 

 ath day of October next, and that in all cases a strict 

 compliance with the rules as published in the Society's 

 bill of premiums will be required. The Trustees of the 

 Society have directed a committee to make sale of the 

 imported BuH Admiral, the property of the Society; if 

 not sold at private sale previous to the 2nth October next, 

 he will then be sold at Public .\uction. He may be seen 

 at the farm of the subscriber— many of his descendants 

 may be seen on the farm of Governor Lincoln. Inqui- 

 ries as regards the terms of sale, may be made of Gen. Na- 

 than Heard or Benjamin Butman, Esq.
