ROBERT NAE, Proprietor, 485 -ax Hibbert Spring Show.' The spring show of the Hibbert Branch Agricultural Sooiety, Was 'held in the village of Steffa, on Tuesdayllast, April, 17. The weather being fine, a large concourse of farmers and others in- terested were present, and seemed to eiaince a deep interest in the proceedings. The show of horses was not quite so large as in former years, the number of entries- being only! 11, including heavy draughts, general purpose and carriage, against 17 ,of the previous year. I The quality, hOwever, was excellental and made up for all deficiencies in point of numbers. 0. ome good horses were Shown by Messrs. Thos. Colquhoun,Oke,Bower- man & Hodgson and James Horton, while those of Mr., Patrick O'Connor, Hugh Brown,. Alex. DGW and Wm. Norrie cpuld net be surpassed. The show of bulls was op to the average, and some very fine animals were exhibited by Mr. Duncan M0.4aren and Mr. George Rock, and high was the praise bestowed upon these gentlemen for the good quality of 'their* stock,land certaml* y it wasnot un- deserved, aa it cnuld scarcely be beaten 4 any show in the country. The show, on the whole, was a succets, ;considering that the weather WAS so fine' that num- bers of fanners coald not spare the time tO attend, is they 7anted to be t getting op with their spring work, and time was precious with them ; ,eonsequently; had the show been held a week sooner, there ia1no doubt' but that it would have been much better attended than it was. The decisions of the judges Were very im- partial, and gave the highest satisfac- tion.

The entire stock show, held under the uspices of the Grey Branch Apical - ural Society, at Brussels, on Tuesday last, was not so successful as expected. In consequence of shows being held on the same day at Wingham, Listowel and Clinton, competition in horses was Much less limited than it would have leen had the surrounding exhibitions ot conflicted. Were these shows' con- centrated a little it Would prove more beneficial to exhibitors and all concern- ed. Although all the horses shown in the several classes were fully up to the standard as regards quality, the only ompetition worth mentioning was in the toad or oarriage class. In this class Mr. eorge Whiteley, of Seeforth, exhibited the two stallions lately purchased by him, taking first for "Renforth" and third lor "Lord Dufferin." Properly the atter should have been shown in anoth- er class'when he might have secured higher honors. The , following is the prizelist: 1, 1 HORSES. —Imported Heavy Draught— lst Robt.

The day being fine, vast num- hers of the farmers availed themselves the opportunity to exhibit, criticise, profit or otherwise satisfy their curiosi- ties or inclinations, as the case might be. The implement agents, who are like a side show at a circus,—never advertised. beforehand, but always expected,—were largely represented on this occasion, each and every !?ne sounding the good quali- ties of their respeetive reapers, mowers, seed. drills &c. to the gazing crowd. The show of Aallions and bulls at the grouncl waa very creditable to the stock wizen of thia section. In fact, some entire ans'apinion that there will scarce - y be a better turn out of horses, quality nd numbers considered, at aur other show in the county. In the heavy draught horses' class, Messrs. John Ma - on and Thos. Bell were the competitors, he latter exhibiting two. There were iaine coMpetitors in the general purpose lass, viz.:" Wm. Rinn, Wm. Herbison, . G. Parish, 0. B. Wilson, John Rey- nolds, Thos. Seale, H. Beadle, George Shepherd and John Cumming. The road and carriage class were represented loly James Johnston, Jolla Beacom, R. Gardner and John Mason ; and the two year old and under classeia by John homson, Thos. -Stewart and John sou. The competition in bulls was less limited. In aged. thoroughbreds, Messrs.

TIT weather wa pleasant, the roads good, and as a co sequence, there was a larger attend - an e of people than there has been on a si ilar occasion for years. In horses there was not such a large show as there ha been on former occasions, but many of hose exhibited were excellent animals. In thp various classes of young horses th re was a magnificent show, indicat- in clearly the benefits derivable from the us of well bred. sires. The display in bu s, both as regards quality strid num- be s, was very middling. The farmers of his section seem to devote their atten- tioa to the breeding of horses, while cat- tle are too much neglected.
