  2. INTERCOLONIAL EXHIBITION. 1876.

    THE eighth Annual Exhibition of the Agricultural Society of New South Wales was opened on Tuesday. It is worthy of notice that this Exhibition stands so far down as the eighth in the series. At some of the ...

  3. SECTION VIII.—WINE.

    The exhibits of wine, though duly catalogued, are not shown in the building, but are retained at the Society's cellars in George-street. It might perhaps have been well if a few bottles of each kind were exhibited, to show ...

  4. SECTION IV.—PIGS.

    The last show was bad—this year it is a little worse; and if the same downhill course is pursued during the next two years, the section will be celebrated only for its pens. On this occasion ten pigs are on the ground, and they ...

  5. NON-AGRICULTURAL. SECTION I.—FINE ARTS.

    The walls of the gallery are, as usual, hung with paintings, photographs, engravings, and chromo lithographs, which constitute the fine art section of the exhibition. To comment upon the works shown, is a somewhat ungracious ...

    Article : 192 words
  6. SECTION V.—POULTRY.

    In no department of the Exhibition were the exhibits more deserving of prizes than those shown by the poultry fanciers. This season of the year is about the most unsuitable that could have been selected for birds, as they ...

    Article : 481 words
  7. SECTION II. — APPARATUS AND APPLICATION OF LIBERAL ARTS.

    The exhibits under this head are usually meagre and possessing few features of interest to the general observer. This year was no exception to the rule, for the majority of the articles displayed did not exceed what may be observed ...

    Article : 275 words
  8. SECTION IX.—SUGARS.

    Although this section includes sugar-producing plants, there is apparently no class set apart for them according to the catalogue, nor are there any exhibits. Indeed, the only exhibitors in this section are the Colonial Sugar Refining ...

    Article : 112 words
  9. SECTION III.—FURNITURE AND OTHER OBJECTS FOR THE USE OF DWELLINGS.

    This class generally is well represented, and the work generally is of a superior quality.In this class also New Caledonia makes a creditable show. ...

  10. SECTION IV.—CLOTHING. INCLUDING FABRICS AND OTHER OBJECTS OF PERSONAL WEAR.

    This is a very interesting section, and the following prizes have been awarded:— Class 581. Woollen Fabrics. Albion Mill Co. (Geelong). Colonial tweeds—1st prize, for ...

    Article : 254 words
  11. SECTION X.—FARM AND FARM PRODUCE.

    The collection of exhibits which represent the farm and farm produce section of the Exhibition is small, but it contains much that is well worth the inspection of farmers und others interested in farm husbandry. There are several ...

    Article : 741 words
  12. SECTION VI.—DOGS.

    The exhibition of dogs this year was, on the whole, not so good as some of the exhibitions of previous years, there being single entries only in as many as twelve classes, and very few in several others; but, nevertheless, some of the ...

    Article : 867 words
  13. SECTION V.—PRODUCTS OF MINING INDUSTRY, FORESTRY, &C.

    In this section the exhibits, thougn not numerous, are very choice. New Caledonia is well represented. It might have been expected that in a colony where coal ...

    Article : 392 words
  14. SECTION VI.—APPARATUS AND PROCESSES USED IN THE COMMON ARTS.

    By no means the least important, nor yet the least interesting portion of our Exhibition is that which has reference to the apparatus and processes used in the common arts because, in some instances, they are significant of the great ...

    Article : 1,220 words
  15. SECTION XI.—HORTICULTURAL.

    The display of horticultural products is less extensive than in former years. This is probably owing to the great demand for space by exhibitors of all classes of goods, and the inadequacy of the large building to hold all that ...

    Article : 184 words
  16. SECTION VII.—WOOL.

    The arrangements for exhibiting the wool have been much improved this year. Instead of a display of bales, the contents of which, as the exhibition progresses, become littered over the floor, each competitor has a glass case for ...

    Article : 458 words
  17. SECTION III.—SHEEP.

    The show of sheep is again but meagre, and were it not for the presence of a few good long wools, might be termed barren. The absence of fine-woolled sheep, which are the most popular in the country, is, of course, felt, but when ...

    Article : 584 words
  18. SECTION XIII.—IMPLEMENTS AND AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY.

    There never was a finer display, of implements or machinery at any previous exhibition in the colony than there is at the present one. The increasing displays we see year by year in this department, and the increasing inter st taken ...

    Article : 228 words
  19. SECTION XIV.—SILK.

    The display in this section does not afford evidence of sericulture being a progressive industry in this colony, for the exhibits of this year are not as numerous as those which graced the show of 1875. On that occasion there were ...

    Article : 206 words
  20. SECTION II.—CATTLE.

    This year's show is better than the last, which was considered at that time the grandest that could spring from the resources of New South Wales. It is indeed pleasing to report the success of the 1876 Cattle Show; for, be it ...
