The Louth Coursing Meeting finished on Saturday last ;An
consequence of the fineness of the weather, the sport was
Most excellent, and attracted a law company to the ground
each day. The first prize (an elegant cup, value 40 guineas)
was•wou by a bitch of Colonel Elothirst's; and the second (a
cup, value 12 guineas) by a bitch of Mr. Huggins's, from
Nottingbarnshile. The sweepstakes was won by Mr. Adam
Eve's hitch Helen.
At the principal stock fair in Stamford, held on Wednes-
day and yesterday, we are happy to say, some improvement
in the prices was experienced by the graziers. The number of
sheep exhibited on the first day was large, but they got up in
general 3s. a head front late fairs. Indifferent shearlings
fetched 275. to ,2SS. ; one lot of 110 was sold in the fair
at 39s a head ; and another of twenty-two, as high as
425.---Lambs went off. as low as 10s. and as high as 205.-;
higher prices by • ss. or Gs. were asked for some prime lambs,
but we believe none were sold.—The show of neat cattle yes-
terday was considerable, but not" so 'large as in some former
years, and particularly there were not so many meated beasts.
They went off at prices less discouraging titan of late. A
drover yesterday in the Fair reported a recent contract for
Irish beef to he at the rate of lid. per-lb. and that it is fulfil-
ling with good fresh.things. • .
