any sheep so clipped and trimmed shall be disqualified."
And Mr. Ton, " That • general revision of the prize sheet
be made for the year 1861." The Smithfield Club have just
published a very interesting tabular statement of the entries,
showing the amounts of money offered for prises in each
clam for the past three years, with the average amount for
each entry, and the aggregate sum is vary large. Although
tole is the hat year but one, unless there should be rod
failure with the Islington scheme, every arrangement is
being made at the llakerstreet Bazaar not only to accom-
modate the increased artiouct of stock, but also the agricul-
tural implements. From all that can be ascertained up to
the present time, the show of 1860 will, both in quantity as
well as quality, be equal to any of its predecessors.
