iOnesses the Prince and Princes' of Wales paid
visit to the Intercational Dog Show, Agricultural
Islington, being accompanied by Genteel Hood,
Mawr Teesdale, and Lady Macclesfield, and some

:in the Agricultural Hall Company, Mr. John Cloyden ;
secretary, Mr. Sidney ; Mears. Bannister, Drone, Jae.
loward, Robert Leeds, J. W. Brown, C. Comfort, and W.
:ollins, directors ; and Mr. Charles Dorman, solicitor to

.oyal highnecies' attention was the fish-hatching apparatus
if Mr. Buckland, the details of which were explained to
hem by that gentleman. The young "alma, trout, gray-
ing, kc., and the ors of various kinds of fish were examined
oy the distinguished party with great interest. Their
cyal highnesses then proceeded to view the exhibition of
.1,.;5. The foxhounds of Mr. Charles Barnett, master of
he Cambridgeshire hounds., drew the special notice of
:he Prince, arising partly from the fact that he
Minted with the pack to which they belong
while he was at Cambridge University. Mr. Bar-
nett accompanied the Prince and Prince's during the
greater part of the time they remained in the building.
The bloodhounds were also specially noticed, and the
Princess seemed so much interested in them that it be-
anie necessary to warn her royal highness that the
temper of that breed of dogs is rather uncertain. Among
the other animals which were specially observed,
were Mr. Wood's lion dog Sampson, Dr. Buckland's wolf-
hound, from Trebiroad, and the otter bounds. While in
the lower part of the building the poultry show, which,
though limited, is very good, was visited by the royal
party. After reaching the gallery the long-coated dogs
were remarked by the Prince, while the Princess's fa-
manes appeared to be the toy dogs, of which there are
army very singular specimens.
The Prince and Princess stayed in the building about an
hour, having repeatedly expressed their admiration of the
Chow. The seminary details with regard to the different
classes of animals were given by Mr. Douglas, one
of the judges, and Mr. W. Brailokord, gamekeeper to Lord
Lichfield. A copy of the catalog's', bound in silk, was
presented to the Princess by the chairman, at the tom.
Liencement of the inspection.
Outside the building large crowds bad assembled to
viruses the arrival and departure of the royal
party, and when the latter took place, there was
rush towards the carriage door not protected by the
police, which for • few seconds prevented the carriage
from moving forward.

None of the public were admitted to the building
while the Prinoe and Primers were there, four
idock being the hour fixed for their edinienon.
The toad number of dogs of ell mime and age is
about 2,400. The oonoert this morning was on the
;Tendert scale of discord and uproar ; bet the temper of
the brutes, particularly of the larva ones, appeared on the
whole to be admirable.
