The County of Kerry Agricultural Show was held in Listowel on Tuesday, and taking all circumstances into consideration must be regarded as a successful exhibition. The weather was favourable, and the attendance of the public, particularly in the evening, was extremely large. All the arrangements were well attended to and left very little to be desired. Mr M W M’Elligott, hon sec, with the capable assistance of Mr E J Gleeson, was responsible for the management and discharged his duties in a highly satisfactory manner. The same observation applies to the other officials, all of whom appeared to give general satisfaction. With regard to the exhibits, the entries in the horse section were large, and some of the animals were of an excellent class, while numbers were not up to the mark. The entries in the cattle department were not so large, but the quality of the exhibits showed an improvement on last year. The sheep entered were fairly good, and the pigs exhibited, though not large in number, were of a particularly good class. The butter section afforded some first class exhibits, the fowl and honey departments very little interest was taken though some of the exhibits were of a good quality. Of the exhibitors Messrs Philip Healy, G Mullins, and J F Shea were most successful. Mr Healy won a number of prizes, while Mr Mullins bud Silver Beam, retained his title as champion of the county for three years in succession. Mr Shea , Glenbeigh got first prize for his handsome black filly, Biddy, and would have been awarded first prize for his bay gelding, Tommy, in the remount class but for the fact that he was disqualified for being ” docked ” They are both by his own horse, Hampton Moor, a sire that is sure to make his mark. The fily should distinguish herself in the hunting field or between the flags. Mr J J Galvin, Listowel, offered a number of special prizes for which there was keen competition. The number of industrial exhibits in connection with the Show, though not numerous, were interesting. Messrs McKenna and Kennelly, Listowel, and M MCowen, Tralee, had an imposing display of agricultural machinery, while the Derrymore Tweed Mills were also well represented, and their exhibits attracted considerable attention.
