BIRMINGHAM CATTLE SEIOIY.

The near approach of Christmas is marked by the open.
sag of cattle shows all over the country. The Birmingham
exhibition opens practically to-day. The cattle and
poultry show is held in Bingley Hall, a convenient
building in a dingy street west of the Town Hall ; and the
dog show is held in the Curzon Exhibition Hall,
very handy to the cattle show, in the same
murky district. The arrangements are all admirably
made, as is the case in all public meetings or entertain-
ments held in Birmingham. The entries are the largest
that have ever been made, comprising 173 cattle, 100
pens of sheep, and 47 pens of pigs, besides 174 entries of
roots and 42 of corn. The prizes are very liberal. This
may be said to be the revival year of cattle shows after
the depression and temporary annihilation consequent
upon the ravages of the cattle plague. The cattle in all
classes stood pre-eminent, and opportunity was afforded
of comparing the best specimens of the different breeds
in juxtaposition. In making these comparisons per-
haps no greater contrast could have been presented
than that afforded by the small, rough, shaggy weather.
beaten specimen of the Scotch cow sent by the Duke oi
Sutherland, and the smooth, glossy hide, and plump,
fleshy Hereford in an adjacent stall. The Herefords were,
on the whole, well represented by 30 specimens of oxen
or steers, cows and heifers, and the rival shorthorns had
50 representatives. There was a large collection of
Devons, and among the long-horns were some remark-
able animals, with horns forming a perfect frame to the
face and actually meeting below the lower jaw. In the
extra classes was exhibited a cross-bred animal, belonging
to Mr. T. Parker, of Shepton Mallet, of such magnitude
of frame as quite to dwarf its fellows. In height and
length the animal was most remarkable, but the judges did
not appear to consider it worthy of any special mark of
approbation. The 100 pens of sheep were divided into classes
—Leicesters, Lincolns, Cotswolds, Southdowns, Shiro?.
shires, Oxfordshires, and cross-breds. They were an
excellent lot, and the smooth Shropshires, the favourite
breed in this locality, were greatly admired. The South•
downs were good, and the Leicesters a capital class. Lord
Berners carried off the palm for long-wolled sheep. The
pigs were the least remarkable collection of animals in
the building, but were by no means to be despised as
they lay in stertorous groups half buried in straw ;
here the favourite black Berkshire, and there the clean.
skinned white porker. Messrs. Howard, the well-known
agricultural implement makers, of Bedford, shewed a
splendid large white pig, to which was awarded the first
prize for fat pigs exceeding 15 months old. "Barley meal
and a little of Thorley's food" appear to have been the
materials for loading the carcase of this animal with an
excess of " pinguosity" (to coin a word for the nonce)
which gained for him the coveted prize.
