THE INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF THE
ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

To-day visitors are invited to inspect the imple-
ment', and surely amongst some 5,000 machines
made for theexprees purpose of economising human
labour in the production of food there must be somo-
thing worth seeing. Thoseleasteueceptibleof impres-
sions from such sights cannot fail to be struck with
thediversity of inventions, the beauty of thecontriv-
laces, the harmony of parts, and thepower obtained.
The agricultural section at the International Exhi-
bition is child's play to this. Those who wish
tw observe the vast proportions of this trade
must visit Battersea, and national pride should
stimulate all to behold an exhibition that can
be seen in no other country in the world.
The farmer and the mechanic working together have
aliceeeded to admiration. There is no sort of
land which cannot now be tilled. Farmers
are rendered to a great degree independent of con-
ditions, and superior to circumstances" before
thigh they used to cringe in slavish fear some fifty
yeas ago. All farm operations can now be con-
ducted with increased expedition and security,
and in consequence of the encouragement which
the Ho* Agricultural Society began to reoder.

without extension, ft made to meet the wants of an
increased population. The prize system, though it
has found lately many opponents, and those prin-

invention in a wonderful way, for no year
since the first meeting at Oxford in 1889,
is without it. distinguishing mark : now •
new steam engine, then a thraahinir maohineLnext
a reaping machine, or a steam cultivator. Those
leading. firms who separated from the society on
this point have, we are glad to observe, returned
this year to occupy their weal places. The leading
novelties now are to be found amongst the appara-
tuses for steam tillage. Mr. Fowler, as usual,
brings out something new. He made that advance
at which we hinted when touching upon the stesin
ploughs at Kellam' gton. His system he now con-
siders to be adapted to the common portable eight-
horse power steam engine. Such farmers as pos-
sess these engines are enabled to commence plough-
ing by steam without going to the expense of a spe-
cial engine. The additional tackle is all they must
purchase. On another occasion we shall have coca-
eon to notice this invention together with those of
Mesas. Howard, Burrell, Collinson, Hall, and
Coleman, when they are exhibited in operation to
the public. The machinery in motion affords much
attraction.

The live stook is to be the main feature of the
show. This afternoon, at four, all the tenants of
the stalls are to be in their places. Already the
Swiss, and French, and Highland cattle have
arrived. On Saturday evening the picture formed
by the arrival of the Swiss cows, headed by the
bulls, and escorted by the mountain attendants all
in full native costume, was such an one as
would have pleased Landseer. The French
cattle, two and two, male and female of
their principal breeds, were all similarly at-
tended, and mired from Boulogne in ten hours.
Mr. Hale Maxwell has marshalled his con-
tingent with wonderful efficiency. The cattle
are superb ; but the attendants, what shall we
say of them ? all dressed with scrupulous care in
costumes which have ever possessed singular at-
tractions for lovers of the picturesque : our own
shorthorns, too, in double number ; the Herefords,
and Devona, and Channel Islands breeds, the
Welsh, and the hones. If this meeting is but
fairly advertised, the Kensington building will be
thinned indeed for the time of its duration. We
beg to invite Mayfair and Belgravia on the Thurs-
day, the first ss. day. Those who wish to behold
the mode of judging in public had better make their
way to Battersea on Wednesday—that will be a
grand day for the knowing and the " fancy" and
for any who desire to see the Prince of Wales,
and the Minister of Agriculture, M. Ronber, from
France, with other celebrities. But Thursday is
the day for the West-end, and the first day on
which the public will have entire range over
the whole enclosure. The numbers in the live
stock classes are very good ; the quality is extra-
ordinary. The sheep form a great feature, particu-
larly the Merino classes, which our breeders must
carefully inspect. We may learn something from the
sheep of our neighbours, if not from their cattle. On
Friday and Saturday visitors are admitted at hall-
s-crown, and surely all who can do so will come.
The modes of reaching Battersea are easy. Most
people will choose the water-way.n The Citizen and
Iron Boat Companies have engaged to place 32
boats at the disposal of the society, running to and
fro from London-bridge every ten minutes, from
eight o'clock in the morning till eight at night,
some making the passage direct, and others stop-
ping at piers by the way. For all who come by
way of the Eastern or Northern Counties Railways
the river is also the best highway, while those
who use the Brighton, and London, Chatham,
and Dover lines will, of course, be simply set down
at Battersea station. For the sake of those who
are apprehensive of crowded boats we may as well
say that they are under police regulations, and
allowed only, to carry a certain safe number. Mon-
day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, from eight in the
m6rning till eight in the evening, are shilling days,
when the press of the observant and holiday-malung
millions is expected to be felt. We wish all who
have any interest in bread and meat may oome and
see how they are manufactured.
For such as are inclined to see the steam-engine
at work in the field a sight is provided at Farming-
ham station, on the London, Chatham, and Dover
line of railway. The society has there hired 160
acres of land upon which some 12 or 14 exhibitors
are about to test their contrivances, new and old.
The ignorant will be instructed, the curious
pleased, and novelty seekers will find most pro-
bably the very thing they are wanting. The ex-
hibition—not the trial—will commence on Thurs-
day and on Saturday afternoon.
Yesterday his Imperial Highness the Prince Na-
poleon paid a visit to the show-yard in the after-
noon. He was accompanied by M. Le Play, Com-
missioner of the Great Exhibition ; M. Lafour,
