the streets from the upper windows and roofs of the houses. 
All things proclaimed the general holiday; at daybreak, 
canons were fired in various directions ; banners floated 
merrily in the breeze from every available height, and bands 
of music paraded the town on all sides. These arrange¬ 
ments tended not a little to excite the attention of the inha¬ 
bitants generally; whilst every succeeding train brought 
crowds of anxious spectators from the surrounding locality, 
and although, from the extreme pi'essure of visitors in every* 
available variety of vehicle, pedestrians were somewhat in¬ 
commoded in their passage to the show field, more especi¬ 
ally as the rain of the preceding evening had caused the 
road to present not the most favourable aspect for holiday 
gear, the greatest good humour prevailed, and the result 
(pecuniarily considered) was all that could be desired. We 
are informed, that from the success of the late meeting the 
managing committee purpose an even still more liberal 
prize list for next summer. The care and general supervi¬ 
sion of the Poultry during the Show was under the direction 
of Mr. W. Channing, of Exeter, and it gives us much plea¬ 
sure to state, the duties of this arduous office were ably ful¬ 
filled. This we mention, from the fact of its vital import¬ 
ance to the future interests of any exhibition of Poultry; for, 
undoubtedly, amateurs, more especially the owners of the 
most valuable specimens, are altogether guided, as to future 
arrangements, by the care and attention displayed by com¬ 
mittees generally to their favourites during their temporary 
confinement."
