ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

WORCESTEit, FRIDAY EVENING.
v..lay there was a general migration of the steam
..ultivators and grubbers from the groan& in the
t.e:gtilourhood of the show-yard (where they have been
in experimental trials for the last two days) to
fresh fields and pastures new" at the village of Wad-
about two miles distant. Here an enterprising
-,,scot farmer had offered for trial a large piece of old seeds,
v.:di had been Lid down for years on his farm (the pro-
Isrty of Earl Somers),and which, being of astiff blue lies clay,
it 039 expected would offer a severe trial for the ploughs.
sa or seven different cultivators entered the list, and the
tr.al drew a large number of spectators, notwithstanding
the difficulty of approach. The trials occupied until late in
the afternoen without any results being officially declared.
The attendance in the show-yard has been good, notwith-
":.beg the attractions elsewhere to day. The trial, have
been continued to-day here with the steam thrashing
Erwbieea, steam engines and corn sod seed separators. The
ebmbieq, eatehnies have been tested as before with 100
'heaves of corn each, sod the time occupied by those tried
srerag.l from four to five minutes, though by some
the work was over in less time. The trials of steam engines
pure also been continued today, and between 40 and 50
hove been tried up to this time, still leaving more than
enough to occupy the judges with to-morrow. The corn
red seed separators have also been put upon trial. The
results will not be announced by the judges until Monday
sot, when the cattle show opens to the public.
The stock has begun to arrive in the yard. The great
wiority of the horses have been received, and the cattle
are rapidly coming in. Among the shorthorns that have
strived to-day are some noble besets, and there was also
some remarkable pigs. The Herefords arrive by special
train to-morrow—at least that portion that come direct from
the main breeding places m the adjoining county of Here.
ford.
The town has been quite on the qui vire to-day, in 000se-
queoce of a rumour which has been pretty current to the
effect that after all the Prince of Wales will visit the show
next week. The rumour cannot be traced to any authority,
bat its verificatioe would no doubt add mach to the popu-
larity of the meeting.
His Worship the Mayor (A. C. Sherreff, Esq., who is
unfortunately confined to his mom by illness), has issued
invitatioes to the members of the council of the Royal Agri-
taitural Society, the corporation, and others, to a &leaner
at the Guildhall next Tuesday. It is feared, however, that
he wonhip will be unable himself to receive the visitors in
rrsoc.
To-morrow the concluding trials of machines will take
plsoa and Monday will be the grand opening day for the
cage department.
