BIRMINGHAM CATTLE AND D OG

SHOWS.

BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY EVENING.
Both these shows opened this morning. Long
before mid-day Bingley-hall was densely crowded,
amongst the visitors there being the aristocracy
and county families from all parts of the county.
The dog show seemed to be even more attractive,
possibly from its novelty. The place where the
animals are penned is spacious, but evidently not
nearly sufficiently so for the accommodation of the
crowds who flocked to it, which is no matter for
surprise, looking at the interesting character of the
exhibition, including, as it does, a large proportion
of the varieties of the canine species.
The show of cattle was pronounced by all com-
petent
judges to be one of the finest ever witnessed,
and the decisions of the judges have given general
satisfaction. The draiving of the design for the
President's Cup for the best animal shown, being
bred by the exhibitor, has been made by Mr. Har-
rison Weir, for Messrs. Mapplebeck and Lowe, of
Birmingham, to whom the order for it has been
entrusted.
The Shropshire sheep were the subject of gene-
ral commendation ; scarcely less so was the show of
Berkshire pigs—one or two of which from a prize
pen, the property of Mr. Scott, of the Queen's
Hotel, Birmingham, were purchased for almost a
fabulous price.
The collections of seeds and roots formed this
year one of the most interesting features of the
exhibition.

Amongst the general company were the Mayor

of Birmingham (Mr. Charles Sturge), Lord and
Lady Ducie, the Hon. Misses Somerville, the Hon.
F. S. Calthorpe, M.P., the Earl of Dudley, Lord
Lisnaore, Sir John Ratcliff, Mr. Newdegate, M.P.,
