THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW.
Tcgarur.
The second, and what Is generally considered to be the
PoPular. day of the Royal Agricultural Society's Exhibi• ;
lion at Ki burn was greatly interfered with by the beery •
downpour, which laded from morning until late in the
afternoon. The judges who did not finish on Monday
night were unable to .-omplete the stock awards up to last
evening, and all idea of pending the cattle and horses, is
also • general view of the machinery in motion, had to be '
abandoned. The attendance, however, was very fair, con-
sidering the disadvantageous circumstances, upwards of
4,:oxi persons having paid for admission. Her Majesty had
Intended to be present. but sent • telegram announcing
the postponement of her visit.
The anneal meeting was held at one o'clock. the Prince
of Wales in the chair. A vote of thanks to lie Ro' al
Hight), no was proposed by the Duke of Richmond, who
expressed his belief that agriculture, more than any other
industry, was the pride ot Englishmen. They therefore
all felt much ~.vatitication at seeing members of the Itoyal
Family take no much interest in its development.
• • • •

The Prince of Wales. in reply, expressed his pleasure at
seeing so line an exhibition, his regret that the weather
had prevented the Queen from attending, and his belief
that she would visit the show before its concluidon. He
concluded by saying that, deep as the interest was which
he took in the show, he had none the lees for agriculture
generally.

The Duke of Bedford was alerted president for the next
meeting. which will be held at Carhale.

During the afternoon the Prince of Wales drove through
oertain sections of the show, acctauted by the Earl of
Beaconsfield, and was much cheered.

The Lord Mayor nf London last night entertained at
dinner the Prince of Wales and the Council of the Royal
Agricultural Society, together with a distinguished
company. The Duke of Ciuubridge was also present.
The Deify Nem says :
" Such a contrast as that between the Showyard of the
Royal Agricultural Society as it was on Monday and as it
was when the gates opened on Tuesday, morning has
never been seen and one must most fervently hope never
will be seen ,by any person now alive, and those who
can remember the dismal contlitini of the Royal yard at
Wolverhampton in 1071, and of the Rath and West of
England yard at Dorchester shout ten year* before that,
will bear out the statement that locomotion on those two
oecesions was quite easy and peasant as compared to what
it was at Kilburn on Tuesday. If her Majesty had not
countermanded the preparations which were being
made for her visit, she would not have seen the
show at all; for during the whole of the time
fixed for her progress through the yard, the rain was
falling in torrents, while the wind blew in fierce gusts,
which threatened atone time to strip the canvas rooting ,
off the sheds. The Prince of Wales accompanied by
lords Reaconetield, Laic-oder, and Aridport paid his
second visit to the large horse ring, on Tuesday. The rain
had, after ceasing for an hour or two, begun to fall eosin,
1 lest it was very light compared to that of the morning,
though the ground was in such a state that the horses
were not seen to the best advantage, the parade was none
the lees gone through, and the Prime M niste r seemed much
amused by the prenistency with which the same mule and
donkey which ex Monday dtedined to he led away from
the Royal leis attempted to prolong their stay in his
present*. The heavy agricultural horses seemed
rn
coeal-Ali', at corneal-Alive'', hom i e n the mud, but the riding-horses
were rather out of their element. Among Vie animals
which attracted most attention were Mr. Clare Vyner's
French stallion Due de Beaufort, bred by Count de
lagrange, and winner of the first prim in the thorough-
bred class, and the Stand Stud Company'e Star of the
East, who deservedly takes the first price in the Class
(15) for hackney siren. The parade of the horses was not
over until nearly four o'clock, and when it was com-
pleted the l'rince of Wales entered his carriage,
and drove hack to Marlborough House. appearing
once more in his capacity of President of the
Society at the Lord Mayor's banquet in the evening.
Following the Prince of Wales, Lontßeaconsfield'scarriage
was ne being engulfed in the mud which it had to get
through, and it wae only after a long pull, a strong pull,
and a pull altogether, that some of the sturdy onlookers
helped the Prime Minister out of his troubles. It might
have been expected that upon such a day as this the
visitors would have been very few and far between, but
whether because many of them had come long distances
by train, or because, unaware of the Queen's visit being
postponed, they had come in the loyal hope of greeting her,
the yard was not at all empty in the early part of the day.
and, lIA the Prince of Wale.' remarked, delicate ladies In
delicate dresses were to he seen struggling through the sea
of mud. This is the first time that there has been a
second ss. day. But surprising as such a statement may
seem, nearly 4,000 people paid for admission, and with
these whocame on Monday, the five-shilling days place
the Society in a letter position financially than it has
occupied in any previous year. If it should remain fine,
the fiasco which the pessimists anticipate may yet he
wanted off, for, thanes to the money spent upon draining
the land, the water runs off with surprising quickness.
