Mesin Main also show a new patent potato -ratting plough named "The Challenger," and midi by jslessrs Corbett Sons, of Shrowstan. ThiB plough, say the makers, is fitted with apsteit frame having two grooves cast therein on either of the back of the throat, and a corresponding round part in cast on each side of the inner front Dart or throat of tbe breasts, which slide into tin grooves of the frame, and by which the usual modi orhxing breasts with binges and ims is entirely dispensed with, and so renders the application oi new breasts a very easy matter, and one that cu be accomplished by any ploughboy. The pottto raising breasts are fitted with a series of round ban, whioh, aa the plough move along, allows the potatoes and loose soil to fall between, when tin revolving forks applied at the hock of breast tuia the potatoes (together with the weeds and top refuse), and spreads them ou the surface of the land, much more regularly and even than can be doM by manual labour and at the same time it raises the potatoes effectually it does not bruise or iniure them in the slightest The breasts cm be easily adjusted to any width, and the fork arranged to work at onv reauired anele.

Bv renioviufr the potato raising breasts and applying a pair of breuti with aerated edges, the plough becomes a firet claa cidgo plough, particularly adapted for strong heavy land, as, instead of compressing and glazing tbe bottom of the ridges, the soil is lifted and left loose and open, In the same stand may also bt seen Messrs Uoruett reeles new wiunovrer. which, while it winnows the corn, also raise) it in oupa, which are emptied into racti placed on a weighing machine, so that it accom plishes the treble task of winnowing, tillire, and weighing.

Dumdsb, Nine Hours Factory Act Assoaa-Hon. The committee of this association met last night, Mr Middleton, the chairman, who had been in London along with other delegates from England, gave an account of what took place in connection with the adjourned debate upon Mr MundeUa's Bill. He stated that Mr Gladstone had shown every desire compatible with tho rules of the House to give every opportunity to get the measure fully discussed and, on its beiDg talked out on Wednesday, he expressed his willingness to allow it to come on again on Friday.

A meeting of the supporters of the bill was then called, when it was discovered that a large number of members had left for home, imagining, no doubt, that nothing more would be heard of the bill this session, On counting those who were still in London, and favourable to the bill, it was deemed inadvisable to push it to a division, 08, under the circumstances, it would probably have proved an adverse ono. Mr Mundella, therefore, thought that the best course to pursue wss to withdraw the bill, and gave notice that he would introduce it upon the first day oi the next session, which was agreed to. A compromise of 67 hours had also been proposed by the opponents of the bill, but they were distinctly intormed that 54 hours only would be acaepted. After some discussion, it was agreed to call a full meeting of the delegates, for the purpose oi laying the present position and future prospects of the movement before them, Tub Ashahtbh Pbinoks, An Old Schoolfellow writes to the Times i "There are many of your readers who must remember Prince John Ossob Atisah, the narrator to your correspondent of the acobttnt of the' King of Ashahtee.

OivU Service Qwx ts. a death-blow to all the innumerable fledglings tnat nave not manage wj wu uw Assent? Let the vacation be made a period of suspended animation, and let measures ireappear at the beginning of a new session just as thev were left before Parliament separated. Suoh a plan would save' half the labour of Parliament, and it would prevent people like the. Lord-Advocate, who take a real interest in legislative progress, from being tempted every now and then to give up the whole thing in disgust.

Till something of the kind is done, we shall hear incessant complaints that Parliament is frightfully overworked, and that it doos nothing. It is the dead season at Berlin and Prince Bismarck is rapidly recovering his strength and his spirits at Yarzin, taking, say ill-natured gossips, the most effectual means of preventing his peace from being intruded upon by allowing the inns in the neighbourhood, and of whioh he is the suzerain, to sell only Good Templar liquors. Moanwhile, in his absence, events, would appear to be all conspiring for his good. The newspapers have forgotten the abortive attempt whioh was made against their liberties, and are now speaking kindly of him, and, hoping that when Parliament reopens he will be in his wonted health. General von Eoon has ceased to trouble, if, indeed, he has hot been fully reconciled to, his old friend and colleague.

And finally, two events which have happened reoently, and made a great stir in Berlin, must tell very decidedly in his favour the one covering his enemies with confusion, the other disclosing to him a very strong body of reliable friends. The Spiteeder which was all the talk in Germany a few days ago, is a somewhat romantio and a very dirty business; and it would appear that in a great deal of the dirt, but in none of the romance, the fingers of Ultramontanes, and, we regret to say, of journalists, have been mixed. Two aotresBes, Adele Spitzeder, described as a little, pallid, hard-featured lady, and Rosa Ehinger, young, dark-eyed, stylish, and attractive, get tired of the stage, with its hard labour and its Bcant returns, and, striking into a totally different line of activity, start what is known as a usury bank," especially for poor people, offering from 70 to 120 per cent, annualinteresfcwithout capital. Adele was the superior, Rosa the assistant both played their cards with remarkable oleverness. While Rosa's youth, beauty, and vivacity attract attention from impressionable young men, and ultimately their deposits, Adele betakes herself to devotion.

She is at prayers in season and out of season; she always wears a heavy gold cross dangling from a heavy gold chain, which she affirms she received consecrated from a clergyman of the Church of Rome; according to her own statement, by the bent of her whole being she was always made to move within the domain of religion. Gradually, through her piety, she works her way into the good graces of some leading UltramontaneB, and through' them obtains the services of the editors of the clerioal newspapers in Bavaria. She further obtains their good-will by judicious "loans," one incorruptible gentleman receiving 14,000 florins, another 13,000. By these plerical and editorial backers her bank is so. bepuffed that depositors flock to it from all quarters, and orowds of poor bless her as they take from their chimney-corners and old stooking-feet their hard-earned florins.

When Adele goes through the provinces, the "peeple," upon whom she lives, treat her with almost all the honour they would give to a reigning Pria-oess. When she is at home Bhe lives magnificently, and gives dinner parties almost every day to her friends, the clergy and the journalists; and at these the champagne flows like water, although her own modest wants are -satisfied by a copious supply of getreidekummel (a cheap whisky) and cigars. Until eight months ago all went, in short, merry as a marriage bell, when the whole concern came down' with a smash, and Adele became a bankrupt, with liabilities to the amount of eight millions of florins I The bank is proved to have been a systematic swindle from first to last thousands of small eapitalists and other poor people are irretrievably ruined and yet, after being tried at Munich, the pious Adele was sentenced to only three years' imprisonment, while Rosa's charms are to be concealed from the publio eye for only six months. But, whatever may be thought of the character of the punishment, the exposure of the swindle is complete; and even in the commercial annals of Britain and America a more heartless or systematic series of frauds has never been brought to light. Although the factof this trial having taken place in Munich the centre of Ultramon-tanlsra may have saved Spitaeder.

and her confederates from the full punishment which was their due, it oannot save the Ultramontane leaders themselves, who have been mixed up ac discreditably with the swindle, from feeling the full weight of public odium. The gullibility of some who mistook the sanctimoniousness of an ex-actress for piety --tho venality of the herd of clergy and journalists whoacceptod her bribes and drank her champagne, although they must have known that it was bought with the savings of the poor are all things that cannot but tell in, favour of Prince Bismarck and his severe policy against the Ultramontanes, if, indeed, it would not almost justify his abandoned Press Bill. The religious press has 'been proved to be, la Germany as every where, in the hands of mere literary hirelings, who do far more evil thin good to' the'-J'cause which they profeas to. auppbrti No cause can hope to succeed whose supporters are of sucfe ifiprok as that shown, in the Ultramontane testifiers of the Spitzeder swindle, Wtfle' the Roman Catholio roes of ths Chancellor have thus done themselves an immense injury in' 'the of j'tWat publie upon whose favour both he and they depend, an edict has been issued at Berlin which can scarcely fail to attach, to' the former what Is rapidly becoming the second most important ecclesiastical body in Germany. The; High Court of Justice has recently given a deci sion overruling a previous decisions of the Court of Appeal in Cologne, and affirming! members of tbe Old Catholic community to be Catholics fa the sense contemplated by the law, and, therefore, to be entitled to all the privileges granted by the.OoMtitution to the religious communities of Prntala.

This decision has an importance of its own, on accsunt of the bearing it The re-appearance of this great aotresa in Glasgow is the event of the theatrical season, She was' seen last night in "Medea," and, from the moment she came upon the stage till' the scene ef horror in whioh the play closes, she hold her audience spellbound. The part is unfortunately better to English playgoers through the riva! efforts of Miss Bateman, who is altogether incapable or giving a pioture of the wife of Jason, suoh as tho Greek tragedians conceived hen It is almost an insult to oompare Madame Ristori with the American tragedienne. No two wonaeffi could well be more different. Miss Bateman is hard and monotonous. The impression Madame Ristori creates at oneo, and keeps up from the beginning to the end of the play, is that of a nature so rioMy and yet so terribly endowed that it is familiar with all forms and strains of paaaion.

She has the stain of murder on her soul; but the love for her husband, for whom she oommitted her orimes, is as rich and as joyous as tho love of a newly-wedded bride. The wild, half-starved stranger from Colchis who leads her ohildren down the rocks to the gates of the temple from whioh her husband's new bride, the daughter of the King of Corinth, is about to emerge, has at times little doubt, and at times terrible suspicions ol her husband's love. When the discovery comes, even nor ohildren are hateful to her for a moment, because they recall his face and eyes. But it is but for a moment, for the mother's passion is stronger than jealousy or the torture of despised love. The first great soene is that in which she meetti Greusa, all un-consoious that she has bean supplanted by her in Jtuon's affections.

The kindness of the Princess touches her heart, and the hard, cold, fierce thoughts bred of her long wandering- in poverty and pain pass like clouds whioh melt in rain. She tells her that she has even terrified her own children, and she unburdens her soul by the confession that the stain of murder lies upon it. The audience shrunk from her as horror-stricken as from Greusa herself when she told the Princess that the sign with whioh Heaven stamps the murderer was on her brow. And when she describes tho consuming fires of jealousy that burn within her, and shows her how she would tear her false husband to pieces as the leopard in the forest depths fcoars his prey limb from limb, the very soul of tho Scree, stealthy, and revengeful beast looks out from her eyes. Even more awful perhaps was tho dialogue with Jamn in the second act, when she reminded him that all her crimes had been committed for his benefit.

and recalled the pioture of her dying brother with his last ottort Hinging the blood Irom his fatal wounds in his murderers' faces, and yielding up his soul with a curse upon the fratricides. The first part of this scene, in which Medea seems to listen to Jason's offer, and her voice and manner just indicate the irony she is careful to repress, is a miracle of art. When she is alone, the thought that she can strike Jason through the heart of his beloved grows npon her, and she gloats over the idea that she may visit the chamber of the happy girl hoping soon to Bee her bridal mom, and search her very soul with, her avenging dagger. But it is in thb third act that the terror and power of the tragedy and of the actress have their widest scope. Jason offers her one of her children, if she will choose one; and' at lost, after an unavailing attoumt to do it.

she asks the children to say which will share her poverty and exile. The children both cling to their new mother, and turn away from the ear- tul woman to wnom tbey owe tneir lite. It is too much for her, and with" a wild ory, "My sons niy sorts I I have lost my sons! "she falls at the feet of the statue of Saturn. In the awful soliloquythatfollows, terror andpathosreach their highest expression, and when the children are brought back to her by their nurse, for one last farewell, the whole mother's heart in her overflows for the lost time, and the fierce and revengeful murderess is the tenderest of women. Had the actress spoken in a tongue familiar to her audience there would hardly have been a dry eye in tho house, aB she clasped them to her heart, just before the news of Creuia's fate is brought to her, and her destiny rushes to its accomplishment.

There is hardly on actress at present on the stage within comparing distance of Madame Ristori. Perhaps Miss Glyn, in her great part of Constance in King John," is the least unworthy to be named beside her. But in breadth and wealth of illustration, in subtlety and variety of passion, she is as far above Miss Glyn as Miss Glyn is above Miss Bateman. Wa Bincerely trust that no lover of tragedy in our neighbourhood, and no one who cares for the highest kind of art, will lose the opportunity of these three nights. Even although the play ib in Italian, the accessories extremely poor, and the Italian company who go with her very mediocre, nobody can resist her spell, THE REPRESENTATION OP DUNDEE, preparations for tub election, 4c.

Yesterday morning, workmen commenced to erect polling booths ia the different wards, and in most oases they completed their work by night. The booths ore of considerable size, and internally are well arranged, nnd it is not expected, so far as accommodation and facility for voting is concerned, that there will be the slightest dimcnity. The gentlemen who are to officiato as polling sheriffs are 38 in number, and are to oe orougai irom Arbroath, i'orfar, Montrose, and Brechin, All of them arrived in town yesterday. Last night the supporters of each candidate held meetings in different ports of the town, when arrangements for the election-day wore mode, in order that tho electors might be assisted to come forward in tim.J. Mr Stephen addressed various district meetings yesterday, and also spoko at Lochee and Dundee in the ovening.

He was well received wherever he went, and appears to be growing in favour. Mr Jenkins spoke at the West Port and in the Kinoaird Hall in the evening, and at both places there were good audiences. The probable issue of the contest is being freely talked about. Some, who declare themselves to be well acquainted with what has been doing in the different wards, have no hesitation in saying that ex-Provost Yeaman will be at the top of the poll, and that Jenkins, who has also a good many supporters, will possibly be nowhere. Others state, on the other hand, that it is very doubtful what the result will be, and consider that Mr Stephen, who has been gaining many supporters within the last few day8, may poa-eibly, to the surprise of a vast number, go in over his opponents.

This, however, ia true, that some who had identified themselves with Mr Jenkins' supporters at first have now deserted them, because they do not consider him the man that should be returned, and have given their support to either of the other two candidates, 1 It is expected that on this, as on the occasion of the previous Parliamentary election, arrangements will be made at the public works by which the' workmen will bo granted an. opportunity, of recording their votes in the course of the day; so as to prevent anything like overcrowding and eonfuBion st the booths at. meal Th number of elector on tho toll at this date: is 16,662, while the number; in 1868, when Sir John Qgflvy and Mr Armitstesd' were returned, was 14, 796.

Tun asstiitioa that lswysrs hd There ia' a great deal of vague nonseriBe of fen talked, as if individual qualities were, losing their importance in the growth of the "general mind," and as if men counted for less than they used to do. We confess that read tbe history of our days very differently. Whenever a man appears with distinct opinions, clear and resolute will, he seta his mark upon the events that occur around him, in whatever department of life his lot may be cast. In Parliament, indeed, it is almost ludicrous to notice what an enormous amount is done or prevented by the direot personal agenoy of individuals.

Without the Lord-Advocate's untiring energy we might have waited perhaps for a generation more for a Sootch Education Bill. The equally untiring energy of our townsman, Mr William Kidsston, and our neighbour, Dr Begg, almost defeated him and had Dr Begg been a Bishop, and Mr Kidston a Peer of Parliament, it would probnbly have done so altogether. The determination of Lord Cairns that the Judicature Bill should either fail or pass, if it passed at all, in auoh a form that' it must come up next year for reconsideration on the Scotch and Irish amalgamations with the new English Byatem, had only to be expressed with sufficient firmneBS to secure its being obeyed. And the struggle oyer the two Sobtoh measures this year has practically been a long drawn battle between Lord Colonsay and the Lord-Advocate, or, as they' are affectionately known in the Parliament House, between Duncan M'Neill and George Young. The latter was resolved to abolish all the exclusive rights of corporate, bodies to admit lawyers to the profession, and the former was resolute to maintain them.

The Commons accordingly struck their privileges away from Solicitors to the Supreme Court and Writers to the Signet and the Glasgow Faoulty of Procurators and everybody else and, at the bidding of Lord Colonsay, the Lords restored them to the two former Ediabiagh bodies. The Lord-Advocate made the Commons decline to agree with the Lords' amendments, and Lord Colonsay ohose to give way. The Lord- Advocate thought, doubtless, that he had established an invaluable precedent, and that he might treat the Conveyancing Bill in very much tho same spirit. Even our non-legal readers know that there have been two rival Conveyancing Reforms before the publio for the last few years the one pro posed by the late Conservative Lord-Advocate, Mr Gordon, and the other by tho Whig Lord-Advocate, Mr Young. It is needless to discuss the two moa-suroB.

There is little doubt -that if all things were to begin anew in this country Mr Young's plan was calculated to be far the more successful, but Mr Gordon's plan started from and rested on the basis of the existing law. His improvements' would have given comparatively little trouble to conveyancers now in the profession, and Mr Young's would have given a good deal. The fact is one of considerable importance, for lawyers who are not quite sure of the meaning of new laws under which they are working may cause infinite confusion in the most important affairs. However, Mr Young's Conveyancing Bill went up to the House of Lords, and lay there for a very considerable time, waiting the convenience of Lord Colonsay. It was not till the I9th of July that it passed through Committee, and was made ready to go down to the Commons with the Lords' amendments.

The praotical effect of these, which were exceedingly numerous, and whioh were passed by the House in pages at the dictation of Lord Colonsay, was to put Mr Gordon's Bill into the framework of Mr Young's measure, and send the latter down to the House in a shape in which its own father could hardly recognise it. The Lord-Advocate adopted as much of Lord Colonsay'a amendments as he could manage to swallow, but he had no difficulty in inducing the Commons to send what was substantially his Bill back to the House of Lords on Friday night. When it got there, it tound Lord Colonsay inexorable. He had not accepted the Law Agents Bill on Tuesday back from the Commons without any of his amendments in it, to have Mr Young's hardly amended Conveyancing Bill stuffed down his throat on Friday. Athis bidding, the Lords at once refused to look at the measure farther, and flung it aside by 43 to 25.

The measure is gone, and all the labour upon it is to begin over again; and other business, and especially other Scotch business, will be postponed for another year to get this tiresome little omnibus, that had almost squeezed through Temple Bar, set up on its wheels and shoved on again. The extravagant exercise of Its veto this year by the House of Lords forces on us a question of great importance. We have only six months for legislation from the first week In February till the first week in August, and the entire legislative business of Great Britain, Ireland, and India has to be transacted in these six months. Every year ts wasted over what properly was last year's business, but which somehow got blocked out or choked off before the end of the session. As the beginning of August draws hear, hundreds of valuable measures that have been rolled up the hill of legislation, with great toll and effort, tumble back again into the pit oil Siayphus, to be'rolled up a second time next season, with.

equal toil and probably no, better success. Every year the Lords are restive about the end of July, and will hardly pass any thing that requires thinking or discussion; LordColonBay fbrinstance, rejected the Conveyancing Bill because it was the 1st of August, 'and everything mupt begin afresh next cession, What ia tho use We could understand it If the measure were tie gs beforea new Parliament, for would be absurd for it to take over any acts of ita pro-' docessdr. But Why should the same Lords and "Commons who shayo considered the1 matter this year not have been allowed, as the1 1st of August was late, to' re-solvo to take up the bill next year 1b the condition in which it came before them on that evening! Some such plan is necessary to prevent tho block becoming intolerable. A bill gets through the Commons, let ua say, in the; mifldle1 of July. Why not let the Lords take it np in February next, unless therohas been a dissolution in interval, the Commons are not the same House: which approved it? Why should TUESDAY-MORNING, AUG.

5. i Tho Duke of Edinburgh Annuity Bill passed the House of Lords yesterday. A Hmmber of other measures, among which was 4he Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill, fjso passed through the various stages. Lord Denraan gave notice that next session he would call attention to the difficulty of Obtaining returns of tho results of eleotions i-cunder tho new system of voting, In the Commons, a large number of members gave notices for next session. I Among them were Sir Wilfred Lawson with Ilia Permissive Bill, Mr George Anderson 'Trith a motion for returns in regard to the Civil List, Mr Newdegate with his motion iior inquiring into oonventual institutions, and Mr Butt with one on the administration Ireland.

Mr Vernon Haroourt, when the 'lords' amendments to the Conspiracy Law Amendment Bill came up for discussion, dtnoved that the amendments be considered rthat day three months. He urged the Government to put an end to the bill and aaserve the subject for the deliberate, (discussion of another session. Mr Bruce, on of the Government, conourred, nd the amendment was agreed to. The adjourned debate on the Factory Acts Amendment Bill was resumed Mr Hughes and Mr Leith supporting the second reading. (Ms Mundella defended the measure at considerable length, and replied to the remarks made by Mr Fawcett on a previous occasion.

He said he continue to introduce the measure again and aain, as the manufacturing olasses were beginning to see its importance, and concluded by moving that the order be discharged. After a few words from Mr Bruce, the bill was withdrawn. On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the fresh contracts for carrying the mails between Table Bay and Zanzibar, and i Zanzibar and Aden, were agreed to. Mr took the oath and his seat for Greenwich. Two executions took place yesterday one at Derby, another at Aylesbury and in both oases the crime punished was wife-murder.

The ninth annual meeting of Artillery Yolunteerg at Shoeburyiieas was inaugurated yesterday. From various causes the men 'had not come i6 well, but the numbers were i rapidly increasing. A very distrpoirig accident ocourred in the English Channel yesterday morning. The Hamburg American Company's steamer the Alamenia, when sailing for Southampton, came into collision with the schooner Emily, of Saleombe. The schooner immediately Bank, nnd the captain, his wife, and two children, with two of the crew, were drowned.

The protracted dispute between the miners and the mine-owners is fortunately at an end, A conference of workmen, held in Glasgow yesterday, resolved to accept the "concessions" to which the masters recently Agreed and Mr Macdonald's comment on the result was, that while the workmen "had not got all they desired, they had got nearly all that reason dictated. The election at Greenwioh has resulted more unfavourably for the Liberals than was expected. The official return of tho voting not only places the Conservative candidate, Mr Boord, at tho top of the list, but shows- that the number ot votes recorded rn his favour exceeds by 759 vthe number polled for the three Liberal candidates together. Naturally, Mr Boord is very happy. As soon as the official return was issued, he informed bis supporters that he would at once take his seat in the House of Commons opposite his colleague, Mr Gladstone.

No authoritative explanation of the cause ef the dreadful accident at Wigan has yet been given, but it is expected that a ifoard of Trade Inspector and a Civil Engineer appointed by the Coroner will make a joint inspection to-day. Regarding the accident itself little remains to be added to the very full details we published on Monday. Another death is reported, and several of the injured passengers who remain at Wigan, and others who have been removed home, continue in a very dangerous condition. Two additional accidents of a serious character are reported. One occurred last night at the Bridge Street Station, Glasgow.

While the train from Wemyss Bay, due in Glasgow at 8.9 p.m., was nearing the station, it was run into by a donkey engine, to which ft number of empty carriages were attached, and which had been taken out from the departure platform, notwithstanding that the signals and points were set for the incoming train. Nine of the passengers were injured twooftheraratherseriously. Theother accident occurred at Clayton Bridge, a few miles from Manchester, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. A passenger train from Leeds was half-an-hour late at Clayton Bridge, but for some unexplained reason the officials began to shunt a coal train on the line. At this momeafe the passenger train came up at great speed, and, notwithstanding the efforts of the driver to stop it, ran into the coal train.

Seventeen persons were injured, but with one exception they were able to return to their homes after having had their wounds dressed. The efforts to effect a Bourbon-Orleanist fusion in France have been renewed since the prorogation of the Assembly, and the apprehensions of a coup d'ttai entertained by ithe Liberal Republicans, which had been quieted by Marshal MacMahon's judicious message of last week, have been revived. The vierilance Committees of the Left and Extreme Left have resolved to hold frequent meetings with the view of checkmating the Itoyatists. General Kaufraann, the leader of the expedition against Khiva, has been counted amongst those whom the Czar delights to honour. He has received from his Imperial master the appointment of Knight of the Second Class of the Imperial Order of the Great Martyr and Victor St George," and the letter in which intimation of the' appointment is mado contains a generous acknowledgment of the brilliantly successful manner in which the General accomplished the objeot of the expedition.

HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S SHOW AT STIRLING. The forty-sixth annual show in connection with the Highland and Agricultural Society, is this year baiug held at Stirling. The locality chosen, for the show is the King's Park a nicely situated spot about half a mile from Stirling. It was at one time expected that the Frisco and Princess of Wales would have honoured the meeting oi the Society with their presence, but a letter was lately re ceived stating that owing to unavoidable cir cumstances they would be unable to be present at Stirling during the show.

This, however, thouirh it may have the effect of lessening the num ber of visitors to the yard, will not in the least degree affect the show, which, to all appearance, will be the best that has yet been held under tho auspices of the Society. With the exception of the show which was held in Edinburgh in 1869, the present will be the largest exhibition of stock that has yet been held by the Society: and as Stirling may be said to be the centre of a large agricultural district which is famed for the excellence of its stock, there con be little doubt that the show of cattle will be one of great excellence. It is also well situated tor an exhibition of Highland stock, and there can be no doubt that the breeders and rearers of this class of stuck, though unwilling to drive their stock a long distance, will yet feel themselves as it were bouud to make creditable show in a place so near to the Highland district. In the yard itself there is scarcely anything fully ready. Though workmen have been busily engaged for the lust week there is yet a great deal to be done.

Indeed, the work of prenaration aDoeors to be farther behind than it has been for some years. The space enclosed amounts to twenty-seven imperial acres, being about four acres more than was found necessary at Kelso last year. The principal entrance gate toces tbe ease, ana in the centre of the yard ore the committee rooms, where Mr 'the secretary, wir.h his assistant, Mr Duncan, transact the business of the society, and answer with the utmost civility and kindness the numerous request that are made to them. At the back of the committee room is placed tho horse-ring in which the hunters and jumpers will be exhibited, a large cover id stand having been erected on the west side for the convenience of visitors. The whole of the north side of the yard ia devoted to implements, which there are no fewer than 131 stands, comprising 1400 At Kelso last year there were 1777 articles exhibited in the implement class, but though the number is fewer, there art awantinu some of those articles of husbandry which are chiefly interesting to those agriculturists who look upon fanning as a science, and are anxious to get tbe best and 'the mo3t useful.

articles for the cultivation of their laud. The south-west part of the yard is reserved for cattle, while the south-east portion is set aport ror sneop, swine, and poultry. Hound the south, south-east, and south-west sides, a range of sheds have been erected for the accommodation of horses and, instead of having them open to a certain extent, they are this year comnletclv covered in, and entrance doors put upon each lot of ten or twenty stalls, in tins way, tbe Horses will be kept just as comfortable as in their own stables at home, and no owner need feel the lsast anxiety ae to the condition of bin horse, so far us tbe weather is concerned. The cattle, on the' other hand, are ranged in sheds, which ate all coveeedonthe top though open at the In fact everything has been done which can conduce to the comfort of the stock, and in that way induce breeders and rearers to send forward their choice animals for exhibition and comnetition. Looking at the list which we give below, it will be seen that the number of cattle entered this year is 406, as against 274 at Kelso laet year, and 397 at Stirling ioih; tuat the norsea number 'zfj, ob against 214 in 1872, and 181inl8G4; that the entries of which are 582, as against 665, at Kelso in 1872, and 614 at Stirling in 18G4 that swino stand at 96, as against iu 1872 and 70 in 1864 and that poultry number 534, as against 291 in 1872 and 252 in 1864.

The implements also show a decided increase as compared with the lost show at Stirling. being 1400, as against 973 in 1864. ThiB year there is a alieht reduction in the list of nremiuniB the amount being 1.860, on against 1880 at Kelso last year but when we compare the amount with that given at Stirling in lbo4, we nnd that there is an mcraase to tbe extent ot olu The entries for the last nine years have been as touows LtWBlftp. aft fc Ifsm 8 Stirling Glasgow, DlUDfriu, Pertb Koiso BtliHog 1844 397! 381 586 18651 253 1520 29flM2 073 1350 7071300 1431MV1600 11581600 1M0'16M 83 194311600 44OO1S60 1867 IMS 1869 373 310 1011 4801631 71711085 021l7fi3 3011543 18701 374 1871 96' 534'l915' 281100 Tho entries iu the various classes are as follows omu, Short-horn, 83 Polled Angus or ilbeitrdaeQ 68 Galloway, jo Ayrshire 12s 47 Pat Stock Bllra Total. notism, Por ssrtcultural purnnara, Hunter and roadsters, Pcmiea, Ejtr holioa Total, 38 406 40 27 9 Cheviot, BUckhiced Border Leicester, Umg-noolled, other than IielcesCer and Border 67 65 SS IS 3 LcioMter.
