Extra priis : Poole.
The extra prize, consisting of sin apple sad six par
trees, given by Mr. Vertegans, to be awarded by the
Judges to the cottager whom they might think sod
deserving, was given to William Poole. Amongst gy,
encomia' competitors for the Cottager*. prizes ths.
several well-known persons, who have for some yens
competed successfully at these exhibitions, memo
them being the brothers Bhilvock, B. Hackett, Kw&
aright, and lap'. hut not least, Widow Jordan. It was
a pleasant sight to witness the old lady, who was pull.
cnlarly clean and neat in her attire, trot up time shm
time to receive her well-earned prize.; and ON Mid
not help feeling a slight regret that the committee ind
not awarded her the prize destined for the most imam
ing cottager. Dcnbtleas however, they bed good sad
substantial grounds for giving their preference to hole,
At the close of the distribution, lb. F. B. Gram,
of Halesowen, secretary to the society, made a fee
remarks thanking Mr. Lyttelton for the trouble he Irsd
been at in coming there to distribute the prizes, aid
expressing a hope that the suggestions he had mels
would be productive of good fruit ; and assuring Iths
that he should take the first opportunity of making gn
committee acquainted with their purport.
The assembled cottagen then gave three cheers Pn
the " House of Lvttelton," and dispersed.
During the day Bynyer and Gilmer's admirable kthl
performed selections of music with all their mid
ability ; and contributed not a little to the pleasure of
the visitors. Towards seven the clonds became dad
and threatening, and a alight 'drizzling ot rain beers
perceptible, but it soon cleared up and there was aellsieg
to mar the day's enjoyment.
We are sorry to say that about flee o'clock a mob of
persons who were cmgregated at one of the tetras.
to the park, took advantage of the fact that then was
only one policeman to guard the approach, and breed
their way into the place without paving. We 'said
suggest to the Committee that on a futnre measles it
will be advisable to have more policemen oaths grouds,
to prevent such an occurrence taking place again.
