Report on the Exhibition and 
the field at the special wish of the Judges, who were much 
struck with the design of it. The plough-point is carried well 
to the front, and so comes much closer to the point of draught 
than usual, and the handles being also a good length, the plough- 
man has great power over the implement. The mouldboards 
are hinged, and can be readily expanded or contracted by a rod 
which moves a sliding block on the beam, the block being con- 
nected to the mouldboards by two short links with a simple

joint at each end. A land-marker is attached, as is usual in all 
North-country ploughs and drills — a refinement seldom or never 
seen in the South. 
The plough was tried on some of the land that had recently 
been steam-cultivated and harrowed, and in spite of the awkward- 
ness of a horse quite raw to the work, made very good drills, 
and fully bore out the opinion of the Judges that it is a handy 
and well-constructed implement. Its price is 31. los. 
There were two exhibits which properly belonged to the Stock 
department, but as they found their place in the Implement-yard 
they should perhaps be mentioned in this Report, viz. : the Bee 
Tent, brought by the British Beekeepers' Association, and the 
Fish, by Mr. J. L. Armistead, of Roundhay, Leeds. 
Owing to the miserable weather, little could be done in the 
way of manipulating the bees, but the tent was always filled 
with visitors, who attentively listened to the instructive lectures 
on Beekeeping which were constantly being given, and who 
showed by the questions they asked, and by their general interest 
in the art, that such an exhibition was well worthy of a place in 
the Society's Yard. 
The Fish, in a neighbouring tent, consisted of trout, char, 
and salmo fontinalis (American brook-trout), bred by the exhi- 
bitor, and shown in separate tanks ; some of this year's hatching 
and some about eighteen months old. There were also speci- 
mens of fish-hatching apparatus. 
No doubt a great deal more ought to be done in the way of
