The seventh anniverearyofthis society took place on
Thursday. The show-yard was, as usual, on the farm of R.
Biddulph, Esq., upon the Gloucester road, but the competi-
tion was not so great as that of last year. However, there
were a good many cattle, particularly cows in tell pod
yearling heifers, and the stock was specially excel-
Get in (polity. An animal exhibited by Mr. R. MlllOll,
of Prior s-court, and to which the prize was awarded
as the beat cow in calf, was marked out as possessing
Peculiar merit, and the dairy cow in calf of Mr. William
Jonas, Tarrington, drew to it many admiring eyes. A pen
of five yearliug withers, a MON of the black-faced and the
Cotswold, shown by Mr. Smith, of Hall-court, presented
