DORCHESTER AGRICUOURAL SOCIETY.

The animal exhibition of stook in eonnexima with
this Society, is an affair looked forward to by agri-
culturists 'adding in this neighbourhood se as important
event, and no better foroof can be adduced in faroor of
that insertion than in the interest displayed at the
exhibition on Saturday. Although, in goose
perhaps, the show of Saturday was merely to 1Z:414
previous ones, particularly in sheep, Le whisk in some
glares, there was not no much eonopeUtioe as might
have been expected, the show on the whole when
vieba point of quality. was one of the most
rix that the Society has ever had. Amapa the
exhibitors the oelebrstod breeder of Devon cattle, Mr.
J. A. Smith, of Bradford Newell, stood foremost, and
wae the Largest prise taker, having taken off dye pieces
of plate and four money prise., in fact, in every clans in
which he competed he carried off hooosin. He ex-
hibited that splendid bell "Constitution," which, of
course, received the judges' award, having taken
off first prism at the Royal Agricultural Show
at Neu eastle-upoe Tyne, sad at the Bath and West
of England show at Exeter. His three beintifid
Devon cows, under three 'eon of sge, "Young Helm,"
"Young Gold Cup," and "Rashest which also serried
off first honours at the above shows, were alto catered
In oosnisetitioe._anel, received the prise. His Devoe
dairy cow, which also toet eith it similar &innate.
ties, was a noble tnimal, and greatly admired.
Without deMaing the whole of the animals exhibited
by Mr. Sblith, we must say that his spoors at the
Peseta great egricultand shows of the kingdom, have
proved him to be one of the most suotterfol breeders
of Devon tattle. For sheep, the competition •as

Senaders. Mr. J. A. Pitheld, Mr. J. Foch', aad
