248 HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



English Society the more confidently that it was not an 

 experiment which they asked them to try, for the experi- 

 ment had already been tried by the Highland Society, and 

 had met with perfect success. 



It was under such popular favour as indicated by 

 these expressions, given utterance to by the leading noble- 

 men and farmers of England, that the Highland Society 

 went to Glasgow to hold their third show in the capital 

 of the west. The show opened on Thursday, 27th Sep-

 of money which the Society offered in premiums was 

 £711, being about £So more than was offered at Dumfries.

 entries. The first prize was won by James Ferme of 

 Braidwood, Edinburgh, for a bull bred by James Burnet,
