THE DINNER

Took place in the Black Lion Hotel, in the evening.
The Right Hon. Lord Kenyon occupied the chair, and the
vice-chair was taken by Mr. Charles Gorst. We regret to
state that we cannot give a report of the speeches delivered
on the occasion, and for this reason—The last train from
Mold to Liverpool left at twenty-five minutes past four, and
the dinner did not take place until after five o'clock. The
list of prizes, for the same reason, we cannot give officially,
because it was not so announced by the Secretary until after
dinner. We may, however, observe that the following
names will be found amongst the successful competitors in
the classes stated, namely—ln Class 2, Cattle, the following
gained prizes—Thomas Roberts, Edward Bate ; do. second
—Thos. Williams, W. Parry, Thos. Roberts, Wm. Dawson,
William Roberts, William Thomas, Philip Conway, Robert
Roberts, Wm. Jenkins, Wm. Griffiths, Edward Williams,
&c. In Class 4, Sheep, Mr. Lloyd was awarded the medal,
and the following received prizes—John Roberts, Thomas

ALLSOP'S WAX-WORK EXHIBITION, TEUTONIC-HALL
LIME-STREET. LIVERPOOL.—DOVE, THE MURDERER.—The
only correct likeness of this criminal is to be seen at the
above exhibition, and is placed by the side of Palmer. Both
these poisoners are full-length, and are acknowledged by all
to be perfect likenesses. They are surrounded by upwards
of 100 wax figures, large as life ; together with 500 statues,
busts, casts of heads, &c.. &c. ; also a great number of
Stereoscopic and other views. The proprietor begs to state
that the likeness of Dove and Palmer are most positively
the only true ones taken. Palmer was modelled by Mr.
George Ewing, of London, during his trial at the Old
Bailey; and a sketch of Dove was taken by Mr. John
Storey, of York, and afterwards modelled expressly for Mr.
Allsop, by Mr. William Leland, of Liverpool. Open from
ten, a.m., till ten, p.m. Admission, Sixpence. A quadrille
band in attendance. Observe the name of Allsop's Wax-
work on the two lamps over the entrance.
