South Devon Agricultural Society: The South Devon Agricultural Association has extended its size, which now nearly embraces the whole of the Southern Region of the county. The annual exhibition was held at Plymouth on Wednesday and Thursday in the Volunteer Drill-yard. There were 153 entries of livestock, but the smallness of the number must be attributed to the spread of foot and mouth disease; but the other departments were well represented … The dinner was then held at the Duke of Cornwall Hotel, under the presidency of the Earl of Mount Edgecombe. … [included] J. Jackman, Pinsent, and T. Wills. There were speeches, toasts, and prizes.
