AGRICULTURAL SHOW. 



We beg to call the attention of every one interested in the agricultural progress of the country 

 to the great importance of heartily supporting the Agricultural Show, to be held at Cumberland Pen 

 on 6th December. A very great difficulty has hitherto been experienced in inducing small settlers to 

 exhibit, and there is no doubt that they would benefit materially if a healthy competition could be 

 aroused amongst them. If the Clergy, or Schoolmasters, in the several country districts would interest 

 themselves in the matter, much good might be done. It is suggested that Local Committees should 

 be started, and arrangements made for sending up exhibits. The indefatigable Secretary, Gr. N Cox, Esq , 

 has kindly promised to receive any exhibits sent up before the day of the Show, and will also be glad 

 to give every information and assistance. The Committee will grant free tickets of admission to all 

 those who will undertake to bring in exhibits of coffee, cacao, or minor products. The Prize List has 

 been considerably increased, and amongst the Special Prizes are £2 for Small Settlers' Sugar, 251bs • 

 £5 for Coffee, lOOlbs ; £5 for Cured Cacao, lOOlbs. ; £5 for Tobacco, 251bs. ; £2 for Irish Potatoes' 

 1 bushel. The complete list of prizes for Sugar Rum, Coffee, &c, and minor Products is subjoined :
