THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S
SHOW, AT STOURBRIDGE.

It is with great pleasure we announce that the
Worcestershire Agricultural Society has decided
at their meeting on Saturday last, to hold the
next meeting in this town. Soon after the mat-
ter was mooted, Mr. F. Blakeway at once com-
menced to woik, and got a number of gentle-
men to promise subscriptions. The result was
that a special meeting of Commissioners was
held, and afterwards a public meeting yelled,
at which it was decided to have the meeting at
Amblecote, subject to the approval of the so-
ciety. £3OO, the necessary sum, was semipro-
wised by gentlemen of the district, and we may
say that the whole sum required by the Society
IMO at once promised to Mr. F. Blake way, by
gentlemen residing out of the town. At the
meeting a large and influential committee was
appointed, which has now considerably increased,
and they at once commenced to canvass the
town for subscriptions, the result of which is
very satisfactory. The whole of the money re.
quired being promised, and a oonsiderable sum
for extra prizes. On Saturday last was the an-
nual meeting of the society, and it was held at
Mr. Fugal's, the Crown Hotel, Worcester. Mr.
W. E. Dowdeswell, M.P., chsirman of the com-
mittee, was called to the chair, in the absence of
Sir E. H. Lechmere. There was a large atten-
dance. and a deputation from this town, consist-
ing of Messrs. H. Billingliana, F. Blakeway, T.
Yardley, T. Parry, B. Brooks, and Captain
Walker attended the meeting. From the report
read, it appeared that the shows, both at Kid-
derminster in 1870, and at Malvern in 1871, were
a success, and there is a balance in band of £2lB.
The gentlemen forming the deputation then
formally invited the society to hold its next
meeting in this town. They also demanded that
the local committee would give £l5O at least in
prizes to be equitably divided among the various
classes, including the Horticultural Show, and
that up to that time there was collected the sum
of £482 19s fid- This announcement was re-
ceived by the society with applause. We may
say that it is hoped before the canvass is com-
plete the sum of £6OO will be collected, and
those who have not yet promised we would urge
upon them to give in their names at once, and
so show our county friends that when the Stour-
bridge people are called upon to subscribe
money for such a purpose, they liberally respond
to the call.
There is a new feature in the show this year,
that of adding a Horticultural Show. This, we
have no doubt, will be an extra attraction, espe-
cially wilen we hear of such gentlemen as Lord
Stamford consenting to exhibit, and we have no
doubt that many others will follow in his lord-
allip'e footsteps.
k rom the amount collected, and the support
the Worcestershire show is likely to get, there is
but little doubt that it will be the beat that has
yet taken place in the county, and we congratu
late our townsmen on taking the matter up so
warmly, the great object being to do the town
good. This it no doubt will do, as a large body
cf men must be employed at least a month be-
fore the show, in erecting and making the neces-
sary preparations, which Will cause a considerabie
outlay of money while they are in the town. It
will also bring in large bodies of men from all
parts by train to the Stourbridge Station, who
will have to pass through the town to Amblecote,
where it is intended to hold the Show, so that
most tradesmen will benefit more or less
