yard, where aperiments were snide with various steam-
iate and other sieehisery. The wood's structures
required for the show occupy so area of between footmen
sad Shies acres of 'roiled apes what are called the
" Sauctries," nab meadows between the Castle and the
river &des. This space is separated into two divisioss, the
brow of whioh is appropriated to live stock, impleaidate,
004 agricultural esedr, the other to the ateast-enguies,
stationary and locomotive, and the more cemplicated pieces
of Elitalft Ty wkl.b 'squire steam-power to pat them in ope-
ratic... The former eampertanent contains thirty-sin wooden
elude or buns', resales across the ground and parallel to
each other; ',nutty of these sheds are appropriated to live
stock, iao.edieg horses, cattle, ant sheep, fourteen to 'Tn.
cultural implements. and two to agricultural seede and
poultry. A:Ogg:tier the total amount of shedding and
footing ezcieds two miles. The ursagements do not
'squat. rtally from those of former years. They are els-
enemata by their simplicity and adaptability to the par •

There were sews heed engines its the yard, all, with °le

Ceased. do much has already been said and written spos
this inventors that it is not necessary to exert descriptive
isisoney again in its behalf. Soydeli's steam hone is
looked ova, to see a classic Ireslism, as quite a new
"kick," and it maw! moo by the aunty of its capon
this it appeared to satisfy the spectators of the fusibility of
its pretension% which, however, are sot to be despised.
With bah the Seed and portable egoists the usual method
observed by the society was adopted in the trials—that of
supplying t i each eosins 1410 s of coal for each horse power,
with winch they ware to effect es large as amount of work
se the ca;acity and the economical sr/easement of the
ambioe would perma up ci the dyeanosseter or fires-resis-
ter supplied by the sixty.
So far as the first day's trials, MONIS. Barrett, Els% and
Andrew** have done the mast work, raising two both.,
one 'sinew aced a half, with one hundred weight of coal;
but from the bursting of the 8 sable steam pipe, the urine
of Meters. Ransoms end Sims was stopped in the midst, and
the eventual result would of course be affected by suing-
quest trials. The experieseuts of the day closed with the
performance of Yuen. Clayton and Shuttleworth'e ingine

three boars and twenty-raves minutes, being an eight horse
Guise with one Mildred weight of cool.
The micerdric locomotive, which eseited more curiosity, if
not as mach deep attention as any other =chits in the
yard, was Biydell's locomotive or steam traction urine.
Much amusement was occasioned by the manner in which
it plodded through the yard at the rater f about 4 miles an
hour, gong over two 3 inch planks laid upon each other
without any apparent check to the progress of the ergiur,
which was also run along the side of a steep embankment,'
throwiag It considerably out of keel, without a. all deranging
Its ma' hi cry or in the least deuessing its efficiency. It is
a, • tima s it the namthice, though 6 teas ,I 0 awl. in weight,
fs avelletie spcn say soft uneven ground. It is also as.
sorted that it can draw 70 tons, or something like a doses
held piton., or drag as many ploughs through the soil at one
and the same time. The ordinary speed is about fear mile,
and three tali** and s half an hose, but that can be iseneued
if necessary. One apparent obstacle to its service on very
heavy ground is that the tank containing the water is
placed so I tie that it would be liable to be damaged by any
strong ob.tructioft in linemen or rocky districts • but
whatever be its Diorite or defects, the judges will tit-day
decide.

Wt. b respect to the general show of implement', there it,
as far u we 111110 yet been, nothing very new or extraordi-
nary. The number of Dunhillo d threahi•g, Asking, and
winnowing machines, is en the increase, and severe' of them
appear to be much in advance of previous years.
The trials of the engiul were as heretofore condurGid
under the immediate it,pection of Mr. C. It. Amos, cossett-
ing engineer to the society. The judges of the engines
are Mr. J. V. Gooch, civil engineer and locomotive super-
intendent to the Eastein Counties Rills ay, and Mr. William
Owen, of Rotheram.
