tOBD TREDEGARS AGRICUL. TURAL SHOW. Exceptipnailv fine neither favoured the open- j ing dav of Lord Tredegar's agricultural show at (Newport on Tuesday. For many years the c;hovv. i has now attained the age of 68 years, has teen marred by the most unpleasant outward sur- foundings in the shape of frowning skies and jpluvial discharges, until the Newport people had ri>t'gun to regard its recurrence as an inevitable Accompaniment of the wildest of November Veather. This year'? departure from the orthodox tun cf affairs, therefore, came as a happy Variation, and it is sincerely to be hoped that the opening day of this year's show may have inaugurated a more lovely time for successive (exhibitions. The show cf cattle, sheep, pigs, jpoultrv. and implements was, as usual, held at the 'Cattle Market, which was of just about sufficient jarea to accoinmodate the various sections. The (trial ot hun,.ers-hght. weights and heavy weights -was as in previous year-, conducted at Coed- kernew. So far as entries are concerned, the Success of this truly popular West Country fixture 'Il1ay be gauged from the apperded comparative table, which shows the number of exhibits in each section for seven rear- t- 1830. 183i. 1 £ S2. 1833. 183. 18,3). 1885.

But, however the number of the entries may varv, there can be little doubt that the high1 character which the show has attained to within the last, dozen years or so is being fully ttuiintaired. This is abundantly borne evidence to by the large area—comprising, indeed, almost the whole of England—from which cattle are sent, and also from the fact that breeders in the front rank of the day—those who are constantly exhi- biting and taking prizes at theRoval, the Bath and West of England, the Smithfield, and Birmingham Shows—still continue to regard Lord Tredegar's Show at NeWDort, as one to which it is worth their while and the exppnse for that is no small matter for consideration in many crises.—to send their best stock. The arrangements in the show yard were carried out with credit, to those who had charge of the manage- ment. The only subject of complaint, so far as we heard, was as to the delay in opening the pouitrv Shed to visitors. Sut this may possibly be explained by the fact that one of the judges in this section lost his early train and was unable to arrive in good time. The day was so fine that a very large contingent of spectators from New- port "and the district went in all descriptions of vehicles to see the hunters go through their trials at Coedkernew, and the attendance in I the show yard was consequently not very large. It will, no doubt, be well compensated for by the large muster to-cav (Wednesday), when the horses of all classes, except. hunters, will make their appearance and be judged. We were pleased, on going round the cattle sheds, to observe the com- paratively large number of local exhibitors who Cam;, off with flving colours, especially when it is Remembered that the show is open to all England without subscription, and that, as the catalogue shows, competitors sent in stock from all parts. Amongst, those who took the most. notable prizes in cattle, Sheep, and pigs may be mentioned Lord Tredegar, ;Who came off with five firsts; Mr. R. Stratton, iThe Duffry n, near Newport, who had the cham- 'pion plate for the best female horned breeding animal in the show, beside four first and a second; Sir Joseph Spearman, Bart., Llansannor Court, Cow bridge, who had two firsts and a second and the following gentlemen, who had a first prize each:—Mr. W. T. Crawshay, Cyfarthfa Castle, Merthyr; Mr. Rees Keene, Pencraig, Caer- leon; Mr. Thomas, The Haves, bully, Cardiff; and -Mr. Phineas James, Aoercarn. Mr. Williams, Red Bouse, Ely, Cardiff; and Mr. Frost, New House, Llandenny, Usk. each took a second. The Shorthorns were undoubtedly a splendid show, on the whole, though there was a class or 'wo which did not come up to the general run of 'Xcellence. The Z-borthorn breeders were well represented by Lord Tredegar, the Marquess of Bute, Mr. Handley, Mr. Brierley, Mr. Stratton, Mr. T. Walker, and others. Mr. Handley, of Green Bead, Milnthorpe, Westmoreland, sent his cham- pion bull. Ro\al Ingram," which had previously won several classic prizes, including two Royals, and was again awarded the fir,t in his class, being followed by the same gentleman's "Reformer." The bull calf class was a very strong and meri- torious one. First came Mr. Strat ton's Belus," a Bplendidiy-developed eleven months old calf. by "Belierophon out of (j. Maid of Atlieng. e is des- tined, We believe,to attain to something high. Mr. Brierley's Snowflake." a noted prize-winner,came off with the first prize in the class for cow in calf .I)r Tnilk, Find was followed by the same gentleman's R,t-dale Duclies-i," In the two-year-old heifer l, nothing w is worth putting in competition i^ith Mr. Stratum's LUinwern XIX. a truly mag- nificent and compact roan. She wast unquestion- thbly the belle of the stiow,,nrd wzL-, with signal [propriety, given Lord Tredegar's champion plate !&>r the best, female horned bree ling animal. The .yearling heifer class was small, but good and the ,Yearling heifer class was small, but good and the ^heifer calf class—a strong, good one—was aiso beaded by one of Mr. Stratton's breed, viz., Rosy Morn." The Benford, though -cci)py,r, the second :place in the catalogue, were undoubtedly the choicest section of Wet cnttie, taken as a whole. 'The breeders were represented by such well-known Oames as those ot Lord Coventry, Mr. H. W. Taj lor, Mr. Tudge, Mr. Gough, Mr. Rees Keene, &lr. Crawshav, and ot hers. It must be a matter ■of much satisfaction to see that- 8ir Joseph Spear- man, who has only recently come out with any distinction as a breeder of Heretordp, has b^n so successful rt this show. Glancing over the classes, we find thai Lord Coven- try's grand bull Rtti-e Sovereign," which has taken several pri^p at the leading show?, was awarded the first place in his ela«p, and also won the corporation pktf? for the best male breeding animal in the yard, in which tatter lie beat Air. W. Eandley's Shorthorn Royal Ingram." Lord Coventry's bull is a grand one. and there Could be no mistake in giving him the high place issigned him. He is full of quality, his sire being ■he renowned co Urod Boy," which achieved many J'cce5eS in the leading shows. He is a massive, Compact animal, with great depth and length, Ihort, etubby legs. but able to move .asilv. He was followed in his class )y Mr. Edwards's Magnet," a very worthy Competitor. In the yearling bull class, Hereford rd. a good deal of uissatistaction was expressed t- the judges' awards. It was openly asserted that ;he order should have been reversed, Mr. Tudge's "Regent," showing !p.(,re merit- than Lord Coven- Cry's Rondeau." In the bull calf class Mr. Price. Court House, Pembridge, took first, and Mr. S. Robinson, Lynhales. Emgton, a comparatively new exhibitor, came off with second honours, Mr. Sees Eeene's "Bangle," which took first in the yearling heifer class, has taken off merit cards be- tore, and having for her dam the celebrated" Bang- j ham," from which Mr. Rankin, M.P., has obtained a good many prize-winners, she is sure to make her zoark in future shows. The better calf class was a ery strong and good one, h?ilf-a-do"en of the exhibits being worthy of prizes. The judge had considerable difficulty in picking out the best, but at length the honour fell to Mr. Hall's 'ay Lftss." In the fat ox or steer class Lord Tredegar was awardedfirstand second forasfineandnicea pair of animals as one could see anywhere, the first prize- taker afterwards being also awarded Messrs. Thor- ley's special prize. Lord Tredegar's second was a good specimen of the Scotch polled breed with a Shorthorn sire. One of the finest and most useful animals—from a butcher's point of view-in the show was Mr. R. Stratton's "Carmen," which took first in the class for the best fat cow or heifer. She Wa3 a. magnificent animal, with good quality and nice touch Her most near competitor was a good looking Hereford, shown by Mr. Williams, Red Bouae, Ely and the judges had to weigh the CQerits of the rivals very closely before coming to decision. The two classes of steers were rather tQiall, but there were some animals of splendid Quality in them. The champion classes were decided before a Collection of critical on-lookers in the centre ring. The corporation plate for the best cow was, as all admitted, properly awarded to Lord Coventry's Hereford, which thereby lowered the colours of Mr. Handley's Shorthorn, 11 Royal Ingram." The latter was very stiff and awkward in his move- ments, and did not look anything like so well as the Hereford bull. In the champion cow class for ,Lord Tredegar's plate Mr. R. Stratton's Shorthorn iroan Llanwern XIX." clearly had the iertd of all put in with her. The pig and sheep classes were somewhat small, especially the sheep, which, as will probably have ben noticed, considerably fell off in entries this year. The strongest classes of sheep were those of the short wool breed, but the long wool had the advantage in quality. The Royal Agricul- tural College, Cirencester, won in the three first classes of long wool, but their exhibits were beaten in the next class by Mr. Thomas's (The Hayes, Cardiff) pen. Sir J. Spearman had two firsts with ahort wool, and Mr. Pulley only one. as had also Mr. P. James, Abercarn. In pigs the best class Was that for the fat pig, and in this matter it was creditable to the taste of the judges to find tnat the award was not given in r?g<ird to mere bulk. Lord Tredegar took the prize in this class with a handsome pig of nice weight. Lord Moreton was beaten in three classes. The poultry was, as usual, a large and attractive show throughout, the game classes being specially meritorious, In this section Mr. Brierley, of Hose- dale, Tenbury, Worcestershire, was, as usual, well to the fore vvith successful exhibits. The Spanish classes were good, the first prize pullet taking the sectional cup. Dorkings were fairly represented, the winning cockerel, which also took the sectional cup, being a fine ?ame bird with good, sound feet. The winning Pullet would be better if shorter on the leg, but that defect was compensated for in points. The Bamburgs were a capital lot, Mr. Pickles being *vell to the front with a strong team, and other leading Yorkshire breeders were also well repre- sented. Buff Cochins made two good classes, the dinner leaving little to be desired in point of Quality. The hen was truly beautiful, and took not ::>nly the sectional cup, but the cup for the best bird in the show. It was shown bv Mr. Clatworthy, Morriston. Swansea. The other Cochin classes were hardly so strong, though some of the birds were very creditable. Light Brahmas were only moderate, if we except the two winners. Dark Cochins were a good average class, the hens being specially strong for their lumbers. The Polish classes were only moderate. 1"rench breeds were well represented, the winner in one section being a very good Creve, and in the other a splendid Houdan. Leghorns, Minorcas, and Andaluians wereall shown together, the Minorca? being by far the best, and taking the bulk of the prizes in both classes. The winners were as good as we remem- ber to have seen lately. Plymouth Rocks ere only an average class, though one or i two good birds were found amongst them. The Variety class was a strong one, the winner being a fine-looking black Hamburg, the second a strong-looking Malay, and the third a Sultan, whilst in the selling class the first v.-as taken by a Hamburg, the second by a white Dorking, and the third by a Malay. Bantams were well represented, especially in the gamf" sections. Ducks, turkeys, and geese were a good average class throughout. Pigeons were a fairly good class throughout, though the classification was not sufficiently exten- sive to bring out a reaily first-class show of birds. The judges were Shorthornsj Mr H. Gorrenge, Kingston-on-Sea, and Mr T. Morris, Maiseraore Court, Gloucester. Herefords: Mr A. Kogers, The Rodd, Kington, and Mr S. Goo e, Montpelier House, Hereford. Sheep, pigs, and cart horses: Mr J.
