show of the Hullett and 11Torrie. Branch
Agricultural Societiea was held at Londes-
borough eu Friday last, The day being,
tine the turn out was large as far asspecta-
tors were concerned, but the entries of
horses were not what was expected from
the large prizes offered. The show of hullo
was cote, and it is encouraging to see the
largb number of thoroughbreds that are be-
ing .introd ucecl. and the prospects, therefore,
for the raising of a large number. of fine
cattle are very good: The union of shows
is good in priuciple,. but we think it would
be better, or. the whole to hold it in the
larger places, as there is :Woreaccommoda-
tion fur man and beast. It is all very well
it the weather is favorable, but it would be
the very opposite if rain carne on, The,

and the gathering, which is generally very
good at that show, was beyond all former
times, apparently as if 'something extra was
going to be exhibited, but instead of that the
show of horses, at (east, was not equal in
number to former years. The interest taken
in the show of thoroughbred brills shows that
