The Devon County Agricultural Show: The arrangements in connection with the Devon County Agricultural Society for holding the annual exhibition on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are very complete in fact, everything so far as the contractor (Mr. J. H. Foaden) is concerned was in “applepie” order even long before the time announced for the opening … …The show of sheep was of a most satisfactory description, but as in the cattle classes most of the prizes were awarded to exhibitors from a distance.

County Agricultural Association: The Newton Meeting: The sixteenth annual exhibition of the above Association opened Wednesday at Newton … The Devon Long Wool Sheep, which generally attract so much notice at the other shows, lose a great deal of their interest at Devon County Exhibition by the absence of any of Sir John Heathcote Amory’s well-known flock. There are, however, two exhibitors who were not represented at the Somerset Show: Mr. Pedler and Mr. Radmore. The other exhibitors of this breed are Mr. Chas. Norris, Mr. Skinner, Mr. Ham, and Mr. Pinsent. The entries therefore, were pretty numerous, and some excellent specimens of the breed were brought under the attention of the judges … … Class 1: Game, Black or brown-red: Cock and hen, £1, 10s, 5; 1, Charles Wm. Brierley, Tenbury Worcester; 2, T. Stanbury, Collaton, near Torquay; 3, J. C. Huxtable, Southmolton, E. and H. Michelmore, Totnes, h.c., John Frayn, St. Stephens, Launceston, William S.
