THE SMITHFIELD CLUD.—CHRISTMAS CATTLE
Snow. The enormous temporary building, erected by
Mr. Benjamin-Edgington, of 2, Duke-street, Southwark,
under which the stock are dispOSed, being of Tent Cloth,
is much better adapted for a purpOse of this sort, than a
wooden building would be, because whilst it sufficiently
protects from the weather, it enables the vapour arising
from the animals to escape, without being in any way
offensive. The ventilation is excellently contrived ; in-
deed the whole is entitied to praise, and has, it is under-
stood, met the approbation of Lord Spencer and the
Committee.— Times, Dec. 11.
CATTLE SHOW.—The cattle show was crowded the
whole of yesterday, indeed more se than on any pre-
vious occasion. The annual exhibition of agricultural
implements displays an average degree of novelty. A
portable and neat contrivance for hatching chickens, and
a machine to raise water to great altitudes, although the
natural fall be but a few inches, attracted much interest,
as did a model of a floor for barns, granaries, malt-
houses, &c., laid entirely with Seyssell asphalte, by rea •
son of its even surface, and the asphalte being placed
upon a solid bed of concrete. The asphalte presenting
an impervious body to moisture, protects the grain from
humidity ; and the concrete, together with the asphalte,
secures an impenetrable barrier to rats and other ver-
min. There is, moreover, a model of a malt-house
bearing features of novelty, which principally consists
in the adaptation of Day's patent wind-guard to the top.
The latter patent is already well known and appreciated
for the successful results which have attended upon its
application to the purposes of ventilation, where all other
means had failed. Another gallery has been thrown
open for the accommodation of visitors this year, and
amongst those of yesterday were several ladies of title.—

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB
CATTLE SHOW.
• esterday immense multitudes of people continued
' from daybreek until 9 o'clock at night to visit the Smith-
field Club Cattle Show. During the morning a large
' number of the aristocracy visited the Horse Bazaar, and
amongst them were his Grace the Duke of Manchester,
the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey,
Baron De Cetto, the Sardinian Minister, and his family;
• the Count de St. Aulaire and several members of the
' French Embassy ; Lord Breadalbane, Major-General
Worayss, Earl Spencer, his Grace the Duke of Richmond
and the Ladies Lennox, the Hon. Captain Spencer and
party, Lieutenant-General Hopkins, Lord C. Fitzroy,
Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. Tufnell, M.P., Mr. Pusey, M.P.,
' &c. These distinguished visitors, when recognised,
were shown through the exhibition, either by Mr. Gibbs,
the secretary of the club, or Mr. Bulnois, the proprietor
of the bazaar, and who explained the various points of
perfection in !hose animals which had obtained prizes
over those which had not been so successful. B, iNVOCII
4 and 5 o'clock the crowds which continually kept ar-
riving be!gan to augment considerably the numbers al-
ready distributed throughout the bazaar ; and from that
time up to 8 o'clock there could not have been at any
period less than from 3,000 to 4,000 persons assembled
at one time within the place. Never on any previous
occasion had anything been seen like the numbers
which progressively kept making their way into
the bnilding ; and, although the female sex were not
equal in numbers to the male portion of the community,
still it was remarked that never were so many ladies
seen at the cattle-show before. Prince Albert's ox and '
prize pigs were again, as on the previous day, the centre
of attraction ; and whilst the latter, from their extreme
I fatness, lay almost motionless in the pen in which they
were confined, apparently in the very last stage of apo-
plexy, the former was literally suffocated by the crowd
of persons which constantly surrounded it. The same
may be said of the other animals distinguished by the
awards of the judges ; and during the evening, what
with the continued pressure of the crowd and the heat
of the gas, many of the poor creatures appeared sadly
overcome, and would no doubt fain have been in more
secluded quarters. The arrangements wore excellent,
and afforded the public an opportunity of visiting both
the cattle-show and implement gallery in regular succes-
sion, and the police were stationed so as to prevent them
from going in an adverse direction ; thus a continued
stream was kept up, and anything like confusion pre-
vented. The competition for possession of the most va-
luable animals was still contested throughout the day,
and the pen of South-down sheep, which, in class
15, obtained the prize of 201, held by his Grace
the Duke of Norfolk, was purchased at a very high
price by Mr. Newland, of Air-street, Picca-
dilly. In class 14, the pen of South-downs, held
by the Duke of Manchester, at Kimbolton Castle, wits
sold to Messrs. Comfort and Son, of Farringdon-street.
In class 15, the pen of South-downs, bred by G. Bar-
nard, M.P., of Gopsall Hall, Essex, and which obtained
the prize of 201. and silver medal, was secured by Mr.
George Kent, of King-street, Russell-square. In class
14, the South-downs, which obtained the prize of 104
and gold medal, bred by Mr. Henry Repton, of Oving,
was purchased by Mr. Jeffres, of Knightsbridge. It is
singular that no purchaser has been announced for the
Hereford ox, which, in the second class, has obtained the
prize of 30/., the highest amount offered by the club ;
but the 10/ prize in the same class, a Durham ox, fed by
Sir Henry Palmer, at Rockingham' has been purchased
by Mr. Page, of Lambeth-e alk. Nothing definite has
yet transpired as to whether his Royal Highness Prince
Albert will pay a visit to the bazaar this day (Friday) or
to-morrow, but it is generally anticipated that it will be
diferred until the latter day. In consequence of the
great increase in the number of persons visiting the
show, it was deemed advisable to have a stronger body
of the police force of the I) division than on the previous I
day in attendance, and, under the orders of Inspectors
Tedman and Black, they rendered most efficient service,
both in preventing confusion and in checking the pick-
pockets, many of whom, notwithstanding the presence of
policemen at the entrence, managed to introduce them-
selves into the building.
