THE DINNER 

 Took place in the lecture-room of the Athenaeum, well Isid 

 out, and accommodating a party of from between three to four 

 hundred. The Eiirl of Stradbroke was in the chair, supported 

 by Lord Manners, Sir E C. Kerrisoo, Bart., M.P., Sir Chas. 

 Rowley, Bart., Sir Thos. Gage, Bart., Mr. P. Bennet, M.P., 

 Col, Adair, Major Parker, Capt. Barlow, and Messrs. 11. 

 Wilson, H. J. Oakes, J. Parker, J. H. Heigham, J. G. Sbep- 

 pard, A. Arcedeckne, J. Josstlyn, J. H. P. (Jakes, F. M. Wil- 

 son, W. Gurdon, G. D. Badham, N. G. Barthropp, G. Apple- 

 ton, Crisp (3), Bidden (3), H. P. Hart, R. Garrett, P. 

 Stedman, Sexton (2), the Rev. J. G. Cooke, and nearly all the 

 leading agriculturists of the county. Neither the toasts 

 nor the different speeches had much refeience to the merits of 

 the show, nor to practical agriculture. la returning thanks 

 for his health having oeen given. 



Lord Stradbroke said : Permit me to express, in the first 

 instance, the deep satisfaction which I feel at the successful 

 result which has attended this the first union of the landlords 

 and farmers in this division of the county, in the common 

 cause of agriculture. It has long i;een my desire to see assem- 

 bled together the large masses of the various classes of this 

 county; first, because it gives importance to our meeting; 

 nest, because by increasing the amount of practical talent, we 

 are enabled to spread information through the length and 

 breadth of our land, and convey to our neighbourhoods what- 

 ever hints we may have had the good fortune to receive. This 

 being the largest of all societies in this county, it gives a tone 

 to agriculture, for which Suffolk has always been distinguished. 

 In alluding to the different objects f^r which we have this day 

 assembled, I will not state much of my own opinion as regards 

 the stock which was exhibited, although 1 saw very much 

 which must have attracted j'our admiration. I will leave that 

 portion of the subject to the judges, who are better informed 

 upon it. With regard to the machinerj', which at all times is 

 a most attractive and most interesting portion of any public 

 exlubition, I am h^ippy to say that those who live in this county 

 continue to maintain the character for superiority which I 

 trust will be exhibited at the Royal Society now about to take 

 place. Agricultural Societies have been established in this 

 country for a number of years, yet I believe the Suffolk Society 

 is about the oldest of any. I will not go through the many 

 subjects which, upon these annual occasions, have from time 

 to time been brought before you. There is one subject, indeed, 

 on which much has been written, on which much has been 

 said, and which certainly does excite very great interest, not 

 only iu the minds of agricilturists, but every man who wishes 

 well to his country : I allude more particularly to the cottage 

 habitations of this county. It is a subject which of late years 

 has interested many of you, and I am happy to say in some 

 parts of this county great exertions have been made to im-
