In the various classes, in which numerous prizes were ot- fered, there was a good muster, and some excellent animals were noliced. Ihe iud'rns were Mr. Jonas Bleazard, of Jlurnley, and Mr. J.

able exponent, and added an air to the whole. . The concert was highly successful, and the


committee are able to announce a substan­ tial b-alai-Kje of ;£'i6 as a result. .
