THE CATTLE SHOW—This Day.

The great cattle show of the Smithfield Cattle
Club commenced to-day at the Agricultural Hall,
and, notwithstanding the many drawbacks, the
number and condition of the stock exhibited ap-
peared nearly up to the usual displays. The entries
last year were 532, this year they amounted to
453. The representatives of the press were con-
fined to the galleries, so that we are prescribed
from a detailed description of ,the beasts
that gained the highest honours. It is a
very curious circumstance that the great ox, be-
, longing to Mr. Rowland Wood, of Northampton-
shire, which took the highest prize at the Birming-
ham Show, and which was exhibited at the Crystal
Palace on Saturday, was passed over by the judges
this morning without the slightest remark—not
even the compliment of commendation was
awarded it.
