The Sun.
London, England, 1852-07-17 00:00:00

with impunity, cc Lord Palmerston rightly said yesterday,
and some of the overtattened besets died from the excessive
heat, or were killed to save them the trouble. One ust-
rdeleie South own ram, a victim of sun stroke, weighed no
less then eeilb. per quarter. A remarkable effect of. the
weather was its tendency to send the country utgbre
into the refreshment booths rather than the show'
yard The f, rmer were largely patrom'sed by the
smockfrocks, who seemed to think their contents
far more wonderful and far more desirable than the
accumulated triumphs of the stcck breeders and the imple-
ment maker. The truth would seem to be that, apart from
the nnf.rtunate concurrence of the elections, Lewes was an
ieeudicious selection as the site for the society's country
t
meeting. Brighton would have been a far more convenient
and appropriate choice. Standing midway between the
eastern and western divkions of the county, its position would
have enabled the society to do justice to both, while the e2C°
tensive railway accommodation would have been a great
~
facil ty to visitors, and the proximity of the sea would bar'
helped people to keep themselves cool. Instead of this, the
society and its friends have been doing penance for a week
on the side of a chalk hill, singularly well placed to develop°
the full force of the sun, in a quiet country town, undis-
turbed by any ambition of progress, and with a miserable
little temporary railway station at command—where t p",
arrangements were not very good nor the officials olel
obliging. The woi thy inhabitants of Lewes did
the best they could under the circumstances, however, erli
the society, while it has gained little financially, has kW Y
sustained its reputation for utility. It would serve no For:
pose to re enter upon the distinctive leitures of the OW!.
yard, as these have already been described in sufficient detlit.
but to agriculturists the publication of the prize-list for 011 t
plements in a complete form will, no doubt, prove aeeePe,
able. The awards of the judges in this department werelli;
finished till late last night, and not announced till
morning ; consequently the list has hitherto appeared is "
