CATTLE SHOW.

The Cattle Show, on Wednesday, was probably the
best ever held in this State We hear but one opinion
expressed that point by those best qualified 10 Judge
1t was large in the numbers of the animals presented,
and the marks of progress were visible In every de-
partment. We have before had shows in which some
particular branch would excel, but, this time that excel
lence seemed to pervade the whole mass The fat cat
tie were magnificent. and many OF the working oxen
were so sleek and beautiful sprighy and active and
wltha so perfectly trained, that ii seemed as if they
might almost be substituted for horses as carriage teams
Yet, with these fine qualities, was combined that grea,
strength and power which peculiarly adapts them 10
the work of the farm.
The address on the occasion was given by A. Fl,
Bulloch Esq of this city, We regret that our engage
ments prevented our hearing it. as they did, also our
attention to many other things connected with the show
which we should have been glad TO witness Among
these, was the dinner, which we understand was not
only very numerousy attended, Notwithstanding the at
traction OF several numerous guests, who were present
The TACT Is, that, by crowding the show into single
day. no opportunity is offered for properly enjoying the
festivities of the occasion.
AS soon as las our han DIS on the reports and
other documents connected with The show, we shall give
further details to the public.
