This evening Mr. Thompson opened a discussion at
All Saints' parochial school room by reading a paper on
the subjoct of the comparative advan ages and disadvan-
tages of the thick and thin sowing of wheat.

At eight o'clock the Earl of Egmont read the judges'
award of prizes for live stuck.
I have, at the last moment, obtained a list of the
judges' awards, which I send by express.
