Balcarres, who, with the Countess, appeared hi excellent

vigour ;

Lindsay, president of the society. The show was upon
the whole better than, it has been since the establishment
of the society. The horses were superior,.cossidering the

_
The broodmares were numerous,, and included several
good animals. The two-year-oldl colts, for the sweep-
staltess.were the best we remember seeing at Haigh, and
they would have done credit to any:ehow in the kingdom.
The bulls, in the honorary members' stock, were name-
rens, hut that belonging to the 7-ter. FL J. Gunning, (the
rector of Wean) eclipsed all others,. and carried off the
premium. The pi%.,s were excellent, and a couple seat by
33r. T. J. parker, which were shown at Burnley attracted
much attention. The horticultural' department did not.j
present any very extraordinary:featuresrand does not call
for special remark. The judges were :—Mr. Almond, of
Orrell, and-Mr. Twining, ol Plabeld, of the cattle and
pigs ; Mr. Oliver Ormrod, of Hindley, and Mr. James
Howarth,,of Beyne Moss, near. Wigan of theltorses. At
four o'clock in the afternoon a dinner took, place in the
school-room. catmected wibi Haigh Church*, at which the
Hon. Colonel Lindsay presided.
Ciresutan A GRIC UL-TitRAL SO ci ETT. —The twelfth,
annual meeting of the Cheshire Agriculeeral Society, foe
the eahibitien of stock, implements of husbandry, &e.,
was.held on Thursday fast, in a large deli, behind the
House of Correction,. Knutsford. The day was vary
favourable, and a great number of persons visited the
show-yard. The exhibition, on the whole, was scarcely
an, average one, the show of cattle being very thin,, but
the quality of the animals, especially the bulls atheigs,
was very good. Perhaps the circumstance of the exhibi-
tion not being ece4-11 to those on former occasions may, be
accounted for, in some measure, from the fact of several
exhibitions of a similar nature having been held during
the week—one at Garswood on. the same day, 3 report of
which appears. in another part of our papa;, and the
annual meetings of the Liverpool and Manchester arel
the Radcliffe- societies being on the eve of taking place._
Perhaps another reason was,, that sufficient publicity had.
not been given to the exhibition. The show of imple-
ments was. very good. Mr. Wood, of Knutsford, exhi-
bited a variety of agricultural implements, amongst which
was a model of a revolving harrow, which would do as
much work in half a day as the common harrow would do
in tws days. Mr. H. Bennett, of Liverpool, exhibited
thirty various agricultural implements, most of which
had received prizes at the principal shows in the country.
lie exhibited an oat and bean mill, which took the prize
at Burnley last week ; also, an atmospheric churn, which
would churn six quarts in ten minutes, and had a prize
awarded to it at Thirsk. Mr. Young, of Liverpool, exhi-
bited a great variety of tree guards., ornamental fencing,
&X. Mr. James Cornes, of Barbridge, near Nantwich,
exhibited two hay-cutting machines, the larger of which
was fitted up with an additional pair of registered safety
rollers, which regulated the materials before entering the
front ones next the cut, whereby the danger of the
feeders getting their hands into the, bay or straw was
entirely avoided, when the machine was driven by steam
or other power at a great velocity. Mr. Harkes, of
Knutsford, exhibited a plough of tho same construction
as those which had won the society's ploughing matches
for several years ; also a parallel expanding horse lice,
which gained the prize at the Royal 4e:cultural Society

meeting at Southampton, and a .94 ten which attracted
much attention. Mr. Chivas, of
..; es e,, 61W6itpd an
extensive assortment of sEeds and roots, &c. His collee;
tion of wheats embraced ninety varieties; a specimen of
Peruvian barley attracted much attention.
