AGRICULTURAL SOC ETY.

ANNUAL SHOW

AT WIGAN

(FROM OUR CATS REPORTERS
The annual show of cattle, farming stock, and imple-
ments, under the direction of the Manchester and Liver-
fool Agricultural Society, was held in Wigan yesterday.
o every respect the show was eminently successful, the
number of entries being nearly double as many as those
of the St. Helen's show last year, and the receipts at the
doors reaching a sum almost unparalleled in the exhibi-
tions of the Society. The appearance of the town of
wlgan itself, which is not usually particularly attractive
or gay, was on this occasion quite ornate and brilliant,
almost every window being dressed with flags of all
colours, and bearing mottoes appropriate to every
imaginable occasion of public, rejoicing. Every train
Which came in during the day from Liverpool, Manchester,
Preston, Bolton, and all the surrounding towns, was
crowded to an extent one might have rashly imagined
Wholly incompatible with the state of the thermometer.
Ilia show took place in a large and open field, known as
the Mesnes, very picturesquely dropped down between a
smoky town and the gentle sloping hills and green
gowns of the country adjacent. The ground all around
Nas studded with tents, and covered with moving crowds,
01 all classes, and in almost every variety of costume.
The show yard itself was crowded to the utmost extent of
Its capacity. An idea of the numbers who attended may
be formed, from the fact, that at four o'clock, when the
chow closed, there had been received at the doors between

_., ........
.*360 and £370. Among the distinguished visitors who
attended the show during the day was—Sir Robert Gerard,
the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, M.P., Thomas Townley
Parker, M.P., the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, Rev.
Itector Gunn,ng, of Warrington ; Messrs. King, John
