LIVERPOOL PLAINS PASTORAL A(GRICULTURAL) & H(ORTICULTURAL) ASSOCIATION, The President's Cup, 1875, in silver (approx 11.7cm high), elaborately engraved, one side inscribed, 'Liverpool Plains/Pastoral/A & H Association/1875', the opposite side inscribed, 'The President's Cup/Special Prize/Presented by P G King Esq/Awarded to/Peel River Land & Mineral Coy/for/The Merino Ram possessing/the best combination of/all the essential/qualities of Wool/and Carcase.' Very fine.

The 3rd Annual Show of the association was held at the Tamworth Showground on 27-28 April 1875. The President's Cup was offered by Mr P.G.King. When gold was discovered in the Peel River in 1852, Philip Gidley King (1817-1904) was appointed NSW manager of the Peel River Land & Mineral Company and moved his family to Goonoo Goonoo, south of Tamworth. In 1876-80 he was the first mayor of Tamworth. Read about his life and achievements in the Australian Dictionary of Biography, Vol 5 (MUP), 1974.
