SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE
SHOW.-THIS DAY.

The Cattle Show opened this morning, at the
Bazaar, in Baker-street, Portman-square, and at-
tracted as large a crowd as on any former occasion.
We believe, however, that as far as regards the
quality of the animals, the show is not one of more
than-average merit. Earl Spencer and some others
of our principal graziers throughout the coun-
try, seem to have been less successful this
year than usual; and some of the highest prizes have
been awarded to less known competitors. Still the
show is a remarkable one, and is now one of the
sights" of the season. A host of- country gentle.-
men, farmers, and citizens, throng the rooms, ealeu-.
lating, examining, gazing. They may talk of " agri-
cultural distress," but here, at least, we have nothing
to indicate it.

Attached to the Cattle Show is another room filled
with improved implements of husbandry; and we
were glad to find that to these much of the curiosity
of the visitors was directed. The agriculturists of
England seem at length to have become awakened to
the desirableness of effecting in their pursuits im-
provements corresponding with those which have
taken place in so many others.

Noah asked a man to help him in the building of
the ark—the reward to be, admission when the flood
came; but the man declined the job. When Noah
was sailing along in the ark, he passed near his lazy
friend, standing on the top of a mountain up to the
lips in-the rising flood, and asked him tauntingly if
he wished now that he had lent a hand. "Go along,"
said the fellow, as the water began to flow into his
mouth—" Go along with your old ark—l don't think
it's going to be much of a shower!"—American paper.
