NOTICE. In consequence of the impossibility of providing, at present, proper covered accommoda- tion for Cattle, so greatly needed at the Winter Shows, the Council have deferred holding the Show of Fat Cattle in December next. In the meantime it is confidently hoped that the exertions now being made by the Society will enable it, ere long, to have the Cattle Yard completely covered in, when these Shows will be resumed.—{See other leaf of the Cover.)
