cattle, in general,- were much superior to those ex-

evinces 'the judgment and, igntoes-3ful exertions of
Gentletneri and Fanciers in.. the improvement of
their stock:

The competitors foi• the premiums offered for

The Swrine'produced ` Were few. Mr: Going's
Pig, 'though disqualified, `from 'having obtained a
,premium before, was highly approved of for its
`valuable properties.
The.excellent quality of the Seed Corp was very
gratifying to the public,paVticularlY when'it was
recOlicaed that•-the last autuinn.was' not favourable
for-the produCtion of fine grain. Mr. Shaw's Bar-
ley, which ,was -greatly admired, exceeded nearly' a
.tenth in the average weight ofimported English Bar-
ley,.=whiel); per Winchester bushel striked„ is esti-
'mated at 4.91 b. " •
The Di uta or die county-of Wicklow, adjoin-
ing the :coast, is celebrated for yielding good grain.
Ott this occasion the observation has been verified by
Mr. Gibbon, a Farmer, near New Town Mount
Kennedy, having been adjudged a premium for
Oast, his parcl proving decidedly superior -to the
valuable samples produced by his competitors.
The public were much gratified in viewing a va-
riety ,of approved Farming Implements, all con-
struCted in the best manner in the manufaetory, un-
der the superintendance of .Mr. Robert L'Estrange,
by young men sent from diffezent- parts of Ireland
for instruCtiOn, who, in due time, when qualified,
will become useful workmen to be-dispersed tifrough;-
out the country ; this being-one of the great objects
ofthe:lnstitution.
