JIIRMINOHAM AND MIDLAND COLNTIZI3
CATTLE &ND POULTRY SHOW.

ONO% 001 OWN

BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY Emma.

The private view at this exhibition, which is
new scarcely second in importance to that of Smithfield,
will take place on Monday. The awards of the judges were
sonde last evening, their labours having been so considerable
es to occupy them the whole day and until a late hoar.
This year the committee promuipted a new regulation. In
deference to what was thought to be a general wish, it was
determined that the public should have the privilege, on
payment of tea shdlinga, of entering Bingleyhall to-day,
having access to all but the poultry department, whilst the
judges were engaged in making their awards of prizes. No
inconvenience, however, arose oat of this new regulation ;
the price of admission was probably deemed too high. Be
this se it may, very few pumas availed theme/Ives of the
privilege thus °acceded, whilst the committee are fairly
entitled to claim for themselves a Liberal spirit in every re-
spect so far as the public is oresomsed.

The 'bow is, apes the wild*, the very 4resteat moms
over attained aloes the exhibition was established 14 or 15
years ago. This year there is evidence of progress in
almost every departasest ; the number of cattle shown in
theelarees is greater ; some of the animals are said by own-
priest judges to be as palace specimens of their kind ae
lure ever bees bred ; sad thooompetition was of the keenest
deecriptioe. We are speakag et the exhibition as s whole
