0;1 TITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE '§'ll

The show-yard seemed much crowded during the
whole of yesterday, and, we noticed amongst them
some of our first agriculturists and its able sup-
porters, busily examining each animal in succession,
and the labels over them, which we gave in yester-
day's Paper; we might imagine from their earnest
examination that they were judges appointed by the
Club.

A meeting of the Members of the Club took place
in the parlour of the show-yard; Lord ALT!IORP in
the Chair. The room wase quite full, and our re-
porter noticed a larger proportion than usual of ex-
perienced. and practical breeders, &c. to support
their worthy Chairman.. Considerable discussion
took place as to future arrangements for insuring
every possible impartiality in the awarding of its fu-
ture premiums, and of appointing the judges, &c.
We noticed the Stewards and Officers very ac-
tively attentive in affording the public every possible
information and accommodation—and we heard it
often expressed, that foi of the Club Shows have
been better and more judiciously conducted.
`lre are very sorry to find, that a mistake unavoid-
ably occurred in our yesterday's List of Prizes, by
giving Charles Palmer, Esq., M.P., of Norbitar, the
prize; instead of which it should be—Class XI.,
First Premium 'of Ten Guineas to Mr.Win.Orchard,
of Horusey, Middlesex, for his three 34 weeks and 6
days old Hertford and Essex Pigs, bred by himself
from Mr. G. Dodd's. stock, and fed by Mr. 0. on
grains, water, and damaged flour, and about five
quarters and two bushels barley meal mixed with
milk. ,

In Class I. Mr. Booth's Prize Ox, we wish to
correct that he was bred by Miss Southall, of Tor-
rington, Herefordshire, instead of Berkshire.
Also Mr. Ridhard Kitelee's, in Class IV.—the
Ox was bred by Henry Unitt, Esq., Marden, in-
stead of Henry Wiatt, Esq. of Marde.
There was a good display of ingenious agricul-
tural implements exhibited by various person, and
a great variety of seeds and roots, by Messrs. Gibbs,
Cormack, Sinclair, &c. _

We noticed also a breeding sow, exhibited as
extra stock, by Mr. Alderman Venables, which was
bred by" Mr. Dodd.
,44n eminent cattle painter attended, and was bu-
sty engaged in painting the portrait of one of the
~exen,. arid wejeasn that ha has orders for several
more; tieing such surprising animals, their owners
are anxious to have their many perfections recorded,
previous to being slaughtered.
