THE WIRRAL FARMERS' CLUB.—The annual plough-
ing match and agricultural show and dinner, usually held.
in connexion with this club, did not take place on Thurs..
day at Henderton, as announced, in consequence of some
misunderstanding as to the land to he appropriated for the
ploughing. The committee used their best endeavours
to make known their intention of not holding the usual
meeting • but from the shortness of the notice, many per-
sons could not be c•ornmunicated with, and they attended
at Henderton on Thursday in ignorance of what had
taken place. Mr. Neild. of Spittal, and several other
farmers, sent some cattle, and a great many of the
ploughmen from the n-ighbouring township came forward
to enter the list for pr:zai. Mr. J. Radley, of New:iall,
came forward in the most liberal manner, and gave no a
field opposite the Shrewsbury Arms for ploughing, offer.
ing, in addition, a curt, of money to he distributed in the
shape of prizes, for youths under twenty years of age.
A large number of competitors contended for the prizes,
and the ploughing was con,idered by competent judg, s to
be of a very superior character. In the afternoon,
number of gentlemen sat down to a very excellent din-
ner at the Shrewsbury Arms.
