The exhibition of Agricultural Machinery and
miscellaneous articles comprised among the old stock
specialities a number of important novelties, and
the galleries each day have been filled with • busy
throng, wondering at the various incomprehensible
machines which manufacturing ingenuity provides for
the British farmer. Tne sausage makers wore, as
usual, in great strength, and the sewing-machines
stitched away vigorously in various corners, the
patentees in both cases seeming to be of opinion that
those specialities are articles of tint necessity with the
agricultural population. In the bazaar the "sensation"
was a hatching machine in full operation, and this ex-
hibition, which has had the advantage of a
very fluent lecturer, has been crowded each day
with successive audiences. The attendance on each
day has been such as to keep the Hall and Club
authorities in good humour. The shillings have
come rattling in merrily from nine in the morning till
near the time for closing : and the best show (all things
considered) that has yet attractod country excursionists
and metropolitan sightseers to lalintrton promises to be
one of the must successful in relation to cashbook
and ledger.

613€11. 34., and the expenditure 2,94 W.. 6s. 61., show-
ing an excess of expenditure over income of
2767. 18s. 64. This excess was partially Catl2o.4i by ex-
penses incurred in consequence of the cattle plague to
about 100/., in addition to which there were the fees
paid to the stewards and judges, and the rewards to
the feeders of the first prize animals; but at the pre.
Dent show there would be a saying of about 451. The
capital invented an a reserve in the Throe per Cents.
