Thursday, July 16.—The yard rapidly filled this 
morning, an after noon was densely crowded by large 
numbers, who continued to arrive by the trains from 
the Northern, Southern, and Western Railroads, which 
centre in the city. The exhibition of Shorthorn Stock 
was first-rate, as indeed, we might expect from the nature 
of the district. The show of Herefords and Devons was 
poor in numbers. This was also to be expected. The 
show of Horses „was not so good as mainte have been 
the 1 f the Cleve- 
land district: and the first prize was aa to an 
animal of a Southern breed—a Suffolk Punch. There 
was an immense number of entries under the class of. 
Leicester Sheep ; but comparatively few were placed. 
‘This practice, adopted by certain breeders, of advertising 
their stock, for it is nothing else, is much to be repre- 
hended, and ought not to be allowed by the Society- 
hee was a fair show of the Southdown breed, 
Jonas Webb, as usual, carrying off all the head prizes» 
The. Coltewold breed was fairly represented, and there 
was a numerous display of black-faeed Cheviot, and 
other mountain breeds of Sheep. A large number 0 
Pigs, of all sorts BE sizes, and colours, were exhibited, 
and there were numerous entries under the head 
Extra Stock. This is all that our limited time and 
space will at present permit us to say under this head. 
,a numerous body assembled at dinner 
the Pavilion, under the Presidency of Lord Portman; 
and honoured by the presence of his Royal Highness 
the Duke of Cambridge. 
Most excellent: speeches were delivered ; indeed, this 
annual dinner was distinguished amongst the similat 
meetings of thissort for the amount of instruction com 
municated. Lord Portman’s speeches were admirable, 
and his lordship retires from the Presidency of the 
Society, followed, we are sure, by the esteem and grati 
tude of all its members especially of those sib D 
the pleasure of wi his most ortos 
in the execution of his duties as President at Newaaat d. 
The Mayor of the city, Lord Morpeth, Dr. Bucklans 
and others, delivered excellent; addresses, but. the Mn 
speech of the evening was that of Mr. Grey, of Dils P i 
which we hope to be able to Ea SR hereafter ; p 
was well followed and supported by Torr, of Riley, 
in responding to the Toast of the Mene eu 
Mr. Grey had charge of the toast —'* The Labo m i
