The judges(tated, that they bad adjudged the above three the beſt of the eight ploughs tried. Mr. Pott"s Bedfordſhire plough having performed much to the ſatisfaStion of the judges, his'Grace preſented Mr. Potts, who was- himſelf the maker and holder alſo of his plough, with a bounty of two guineas-?

Eis Grace expreſſed bis concern, that no trials of the merit of broad cat and drill evlture, in Bedfordſhire, had this year been ſent to him,

"The ſhepherds who were rewarded for ſaving the gteatelt number of lambs, were:=- John Holland, five guineas, Charles Pain, four guineas, Luke Cole- wan; three guincas, James Allen, two guineas, and Joſeph Pouch, one guinea. His Grace proceeded to the new premium for irrigation;, and ſtated, zhat Lord Shefield, Lord Wm. Ruſſel, and Mr. Marſhall, were of opinion, hat the new water-meadow made by Mr. Cowley was not formed on the beſt feſtem, or ſuſſicient]y raiſed for the water to have the proper effet, and not, zheyefore, entitled to the premium of fifty guineas; but his Grace begged to preſent him with the ſum of twenty-five guineas, which gave great fatisfac- tion to the company.

The Duke of Clarence, who ſeemed exceſſively to enjoy the buſineſs of this day; roſe, and jaid--After the very Kind invitation they had all received, he <ould not leave them without propoſing to drink another bumper;“ may we meet the Duke dgain next year, 1> the fame good health and ſpirits, as at Preſent."]
