THE BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND

SOUIETY'S NE,Xf BikETTl•ki,

The public will be glad to learn that local- at. then has
already been taken in reference to the next year's meet-
ing of the Bath and Wald of England Society, ...bleb,
according to presioe• arrangement, will be held In
Salisbury in the month of July neat. If this notion is
,ontinued, and ihe inhabitants of this district lake the
Matter up in • proper spirit, there is bet little doubt
. . .

that the eihibition of 1867 may be made one of the most
iitocessful in the history of the society. There is (arta-
'lately every proepect at present that next year's show
will be held under much more favourable circtimstairies
thin tbit of 1866. 't is true that the rinderpcst has
not been entirely stamped out of the country ; but it
is gradually anti steadily disappearing, and even the
mimes of some of Its most fatal ravages are being deolared
"disinfected." This, in itself, is most cheering for mei-
militarism', and though we cannot hops to have • show
of horned settle under the auspices of the society in
July, 1867. there is little doubt that if the diseme con.
Mimes to diminish, sheep may be exhibited. In this dis-
trict • ahow of sheep is al sriys specially attractive. and en
Another moat tut portaht feature will be added to the next
meeting as tempered with the last one. If all who in this
district take an active interest Intl. improvement of the
various breeds of sheep, will but manifest thst interest
by individual efforts to promote the object in view,
the retell cannot fail tn be • most oomnli te success.
The local committee met at the Council Chamber, in
this city, on Thureday last. The Mayor presided, and
the other members of the committee present, were
rildertnen Kelsey and Woodlands, and Messrs. Whitman,
Witter., Style, and John Marsh. Communications, ex-
go,ssive of regtet at inability to attend the meeting, were
re eivetl from Mr. Marsh, up'., Mr. Hamilton, 111.1...
'lit Edward Belie, Bari.' Mr. Rawience, and Mr.
fiquirey. Letters were read from Mr. Josiah Goodwin,
the ycostary of the Rath and Went of &gland Society,
informing the ittoal committee that at the request of Um
Council the inentbsrs of the deputation appointed at •
former me iting would attend that day,
The ciddinittee thee proceeded to ILIT&Olge the local
nil. sheet, anti it was resolved to offer to the society
the sum if £l5O, it being stipulated that .£lOO of that
no l to sub.cribed for the purpoie of enabling
the society to hold this year, as last, a dog show in con-
nection with the general exhibition. It will be seen
front this arrangement thet it is intended to have • dog
show on a far more extensive scale than that a lent
.ear, the poises being considerably larger in amount.
It is hired, ton, that if snore generally announced, the
*how will ixtrset • very much larger list of exhibitors,
and that almost, every variety of the CilliDO species will
be well represented.
Tire resusining £5O of the situ voted it was resolved
should he dii•trilinted in plisse for Hampshire Ihtern
obiep atoi Berktild,e pigs. the proportion in which the
itortey should he apnin printed in shot way, heing left to
the decision of Mr. John Marsh, and Mr. %sidebar., of
Bulbs iilge.

deputation from the society, including Mr.
Jonathan Gray, Mr. John Gray, Mr. H. P. Jones, and
Mr. Knoilys, then arrived, and were introduced SI tl.•
eoennitteo hy Mr. Josiah Goodwill. TLess gentlemen
etated, and blear explained, what the society expected
nom the oily lo nspret to the meeting of 1867, the
requires* to bring butetantially the same as those for
the last .h .e, with he eau Wien that no money I ay•
oo lit would be reqon.ti, and that no land would he
em.ded for the trial I ploughs and Cultivators; but
instead of the latter, the society require to be provided
eith Inn. 25 to :10 acre. of meadow and other Knit., for
the trial of mowing machines, for which aosommodation
they wit , of eouzse, pav • certain rate per acre. The
society alto want from 17 to 50 acres of rye, for the
trials of reaping and mowing machines. Aces ,ing to
these requests, suitable trial grounds wets entreated,
and these having been inspected by the deputation, were
much approved of.
The deputation afterwards welted upon the Mayor at
hi. neldence, where the memorandum of agreement
was aimed by his Worehip as the local representative,
and by Mr. Goodwin, on behalf of the aottiety. The
whole party, inoludirg the members of the local coon
mittee, were then entertainei to an excellent drkaster
by the Mayor.
About 1310, we understand, will be required In order
to carry out the arrangements of the local committee in
• proper wanner; and on this occasion, when there is
every probability that sheep will be exhibited, it is eon-
fldently hoped that the agriculturists themselves will
evince a deeper Interest in the suncesa of the society's
exhibition than they did in reference to **show of
1866. Indeed, on ths last °emotion, they by no means
did as much as was expected of them, and in looking
over the list of members of the meiety, it is really
...toughing that eo few Wiltshire fanners are seen yet
to be found among those enrolled.
