Proudest remarked Mat it had been stated by same tint
our army •ae not large enough when compered with those ,
of other countries. The comparison was un'a ras we
have no compulaory service, and he believed to. men were
as plucky as they used to be. He thought the navy
ought to his kept up to the highest state of efficiency, for
our ships, although not now " Hearts of Oak," et,lll the
tors were as jolly and as brave as ever. (Applause.) The
Yeomanry trsioad their men as good .cldiere for the line,

Lord 3 bait abort%
The lion. H STORY thanked Whim. HYOIDS for
his flattering terms, and lino persist or the cordial
manner in which they bat received the tout. This
society had been formed about 14 years, and although
comparative/T. young moiety, it cromparied very favour-
ably with others of longer standing, both with regard to
the SWOON of the meetnere and its popularity. He could
assure them that when be received the invitation he was
Oiled with a genes of gratitude at the holour, and was
%flair' he could not perform the duties aatafacturily. A
hUt warn passed durine Met gassiest in Parliament called
the Agricultural Holdings Bill—a great deal like the one
of 1875. lie himself thought it beet for landlords and
tenants to act amicably together without the aid of tis
State, but on the whole he thought the Bill aa acceptable
one, for it has in it the principle of giving see:emit, to the
ten int for the capital be has embarked in bee holding
and which he would be deprived of in the event of his
hawing the farm. Tins was not • questlan of such
uni venal Importance to a reiculturists as • measure would
be for • protection of cattle from diseases. as DM
, affected three clames—o senors of land occupiers, and
' agricultural labourers, for the interest of all three were
identical. and when one golfers all suffer. They had
' had the cattle plague, foot and mouth disuse', pleuro
pneumonia, due to foreign importation. They bad not
, been free from foot and mouth disease MDOO 1880.
In 1980 155 were affects! ; in 1881 4.01; and in 1882 5142,
and divine the first six weeks of the present year 10 per
cent, per diem. Some said that if the importation of
for e*a cattle were prevented, the price of meat would be
raised to the consumer, but the ODISOMMM aid the
producer were the sarne. The producer had all the
t,ouble and oars, and he did not see why he should be
the loser, and if the price of meat were raised It would
only be temporary. We had a deal meat trade with
Russia, and be could not see why • dead meat trade could
not be carried on with other oountriee We must keep
larger amount of stock to have more roots to feed them.
The he thought a gaiety like this of great Import-
ance. bringing out competaion in ploughing, roots, gle,
and a benegoial one, and better than a show of stock.
He considered the Government was greatly to blame for
not carrying int) effect Mr. Chaplin's motion, prohibiting
the importation of animals from those countries where the
&ream wee known to exist.
Other toasts followed, and the party dispersed attar
spending • olmvivial arming.
At the close of the matting the Hot. President kindly
promised £5 towards prise money for the next exhibition.
