COOMBEINTEIGNHEAD: Cottage Garden Society: The annual exhibition in connection with this society took place in the National Schoolroom at Combeinteinghead on Friday last. The weather on the occasion was unfavourable, and this affected the attendance of the gentry of the neighbourhood very much indeed. The obliging hon. sec. (Mr. J. Franklin) and the committee, however, left nothing undone as far as the arrangements were concerned to secure the success that attended former meetings. The room in which the show took place was very tastefully decorated, and the production of the cottagers were fully equal to those of last year. The judges were Mr. W. Hannaford (florist, Teignmouth), Mr. J. Pinsent (Rocombe), and Mr. Smart, foreman to Mr. Hannaford. Miss Creed, of Coombe, exhibited a very pretty model of Coombe Parish Church, while Mr. Hannaford, nurseryman of Teignmouth had a very fine show of greenhouse and stove plants, besides a very beautiful lot of cut balsams. The Teignmouth Artillery band (Mr. Valentine, leader) was in attendance and played well during the afternoon. Among those present were the following: Sir W. Carew and the Misses Carew, Mr. H. B. Wrey and Hon. Mrs. H. B. Wrey, Capt. and Mrs. West, Mr. Huddlestone, Rev. and Mrs. Best, Misses Morris, Mr. Tolcher, Rev. S. H. Sherard, Rev. E.C. Cole and Mrs. Cole, Misses Guild, Rev.

The Torquay Harriers: On Wednesday (boxing day), according to annual custom, the meet was at Illsham, near Torquay, to give all and everybody — and some thousands were present chance of seeing this celebrated pack “set to” with the ”living creature,” for which they were born and bred, and under command of their gallant huntsman Yelverton, who cheered them on, they obtained the victory. The first hare was soon killed after a merry little spin. No 2 showed the multitude some splendid sport, and, much to their amusement started near Wallborough lane; thence to the cover, doubled about, and broke away for Bishopstowe, and on to Lady Wrey’s and Illsham, then straight away for Hobbs’ Nose, and was killed in the cliffs, near a gentleman’s seat called “The Dykes.” After this was over, Yelverton got his hounds together, and trotted away through Babbicombe and Mary Church; and when near the “Palk Arms,” a little cross-country work was to be seen, and a chapter of accidents occurred to those that were not accustomed to horsemanship, and they had regular “croppers, ” much to the amusement of the vast assemblage. While this was going on, No. 3 jumped up, and went away like lightening to Rocombes, and from there to Daccombe Village, returned and skirted the hills around Mr. Pinsent’s farm, and away for Haccombe; and, after taking another view of the same country, made away at a terrific pace for Coffinswell, and on to Millburn Down, near Newton. The shades of evening having now set in, all present appeared willing to return to their homes.

COMBEINTEIGNHEAD, Near Newton Abbot and Torquay, Devon: CAPITAL FREEHOLD INVESTMENT: MESSRS. BUCKLAND and RENDELL are instructed by the Proprietor to offer for SALE by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Globe Hotel, in Newton Abbot, on Thursday, the 11th day of October, 1866, at Three o’clock in the afternoon, the fee-simple and inheritance of and in the Manor Lordship of Combeinteignhead (otherwise Combeintinhead), and the ESTATE or FARM called “Middle Rocombe,” situate in the parish of Combeinteignhead, and in the occupation of Mr. Pinsent, as tenant. The Farm is very compact, and comprises a recently erected Dwelling House and all necessary Outbuildings, Cellarage, Yards, Gardens, Labourers’ Cottages, and about 164 Acres of Land, of which about 36 Acres are fertile Pasture and Watered Meadow, about 18 Acres of Orchard in full bearing, and the residue, about 110 Acres, superior Arable Land, and is very conveniently situated about four miles from the excellent market town of Newton Abbot, and from each of those favourite watering places, Teignmouth and Torquay. The Property being thus in the immediate vicinity several populous towns, having Railway Stations, and the navigable portion of the river Teign, being also within short distance, every facility for the disposal and conveyance of Corn, Cider and other produce is afforded to the occupier, and an extensive business in the Cider trade could, if required, be carried on. Mr. Pinsent holds a lease of the Farm for 14 years, from Ladyday, 1865, but such term can be put an end to, by either the landlord or the tenant, at the end the 7th year. To Capitalists an opportunity now offers for making good investment, whilst the existence of a Manor in connection with the Estate cannot but materially add to its importance, irrespective of the value of the Manorial Rents which amount to about £11 per annum, and which with all other rights appertaining to the Manor will be included in the sale. To Sportsmen also, excellent opportunity is presented of becoming possessed of property which would minister to their enjoyment, game being plentiful thereon, and fox hounds and harriers being regularly hunted in the neighbourhood. For viewing the Estate apply to Mr. Pinsent, the Farmhouse, and full particulars of the Property, with plan, will be ready 21 days prior to the sale, and may be had of the Auctioneers, Newton Abbot; of Mr. Philip Michelmore, No. 1, Claremont, Torquay; or at the office of Mr. HOOPER, Solicitor, Newton Abbot. Newton Abbot, 8th Sept. 1866.
