The third of these annual exhibitions, under the
soapier of Shot entorpiffpg " knight of be hammer.'
Mr. J. 1` ffrosar, ida place at his spacious cattle
14cpatirory on Saturday, sod jodging from the number
of stock altered, and the prices realiaed at the sale,
the affair woe most itteernedUL Indeed, the number of
stock •ntered for exceeded that of any precious show,
there being 140 head of now stock, and slant TOO sheep,
together with pig. and calve., whilst last year the
market was supplied with 130 hoed of besets, and 400
sheep. .

An attention had thia year been made in the eau&
Lions for animals competing for prince, of which there
were several ogered by gentlemen in the neigbourhood.
Heretofore any animal might compete,.. matter how
many primes it bad woe at settle show.; and of cosine
ibis acorooly loft any shoo.. for otliats,.to ester into
competition with tkm. This Hate LI affairs has been
altered, no animal being allowed to compete that had
Previously woo • prize. It might, perhaps, be thought
from this that animals of inferior qualit7 would be
inhibited, but certainly there can be so room to com-
plain on that score, for thole .zbibir.d wens of • very
'helps description, and the competition was very close
in almost all classea

The supply of fat sleek was large, and of attellent
quality, great mins having apparently been tame by the

, both of which took off prises ; indeed they
could not fail. *van in the eyes of those pinions
most uninterested in farming matters, to claim their
rewards. White brought under the hammer, the

for £43, whilst the one whieb took first prise only
fetched £3B Ba. Two broth? Mn. Williams Coate, of
ro Ilatnoon, and Mr. Henry ate, Of Bberliortili, each
exhibited a very &holm er, but the first piise was
won by the former with an animal which -ea the
admiration of the public, and sertaluly the finest in the
yard. Mr. Vye, of Corte Castle, was, Mier much corn.

Some extraordinary Liege beagle were entered for Mr.
R. Mayward's prige—tint of 23 for the nearieet beast in
the marliet--md the me that took lb. prime was ex-
hibited by Mr. Fry. This certainly was the largest
beast shown, but did not appear to be so well filled out
coo., of its onmpetitors. Is saying this we do not
wish to Impugn the awards of the judges, but
merely give war unproferional opinion. The
prise beast is estimated at about 741.500 re, and
wail purchased by the giver of the prise for

A great deal of Interest was oentred is the pig ebdw,
the animals being fatted to an extent which must have
bees anything but comfortable. One animal was 1
shown, hiloaging to Mr. Alva, of Godumnstom,
