ROT AL AGRICULTIWAL SOCIETY.

LINCOLN, FRIDAY.

The show closes to-day, after one of the most.sucoess-
fill meetings, in a financial point of view, tlifit the so.
ciety has ever experienced. The number of persons
that visited the ground yesterday, paying 2s. 6d. for
admission, was upwards of 12,000, and the receipts
amounted to 1,5001. This exceeded the attendance and
the proceeds at Windsor, in the Great Exhibition year
of 1851. The society has throughout been most fortu.
nate iu the weather. The eastern districts of the county
have up to this time been as much deluged with rain
as London ; but this week summer has burst upon them.

The usual winding-up of the society's affairs took
place to-day in the Guildhall of the city, where the
members and council of the society held a general
meeting, Mr. Miles, M.P., president elect, in the
chair. The thanks of the society were voted to the
Mayor and Corporation of Lincoln, to the Hon.
Leslie Melville and the local committee, and to
the railway companies. This last vote was couched
in very significant language ; it was----thanks for such
facilities as they had afforded ; and Mr. Hamond, in
moving it, took occasion to refer to the indirect Miran•
tages which this society conferred upon railway compa-
nies as a reason for the latter looking upon agriculture
with a favourable eye.
Mr. B. Webster complained of the charge of 10s.
made for visiting the implement trial yard, especially
as many persons who paid it were disappointed in not
being admitted, as they had expected, into the gerrit
implement-yard. He also complained that -some o 4
ploughs, especially the sub-soil ploughs, were triedTlP°n
land that was not fitted for them.
Mr. Hamond, as senior steward of the -implements,
