£50 extra came into the Society's coffers on Tuesday, 

 and £525 was the amount of the take for the first three 

 days. At the general meeting of the Society the open 

 judging was alluded to, as "having cut the ground com- 

 pletely from under the feet of disappointed exhibitors, 

 by letting them see with their own eyes what pains was 

 taken to arrive at a correct decision ;" and any new 

 building will be arranged specially with a view to it. 



The Lord Lieutenant spoke with all his wonted 

 elegance at the meeting on Wednesday evening. Last 

 year the portly figure and colour of Dr. McIIale sug- 

 gested to him his Virgilian recollections of the snowy 

 herds of Clitumnus ; and this year, in expressing the 

 hope that the Society might shortly have a spot of its 

 own,"apart from the Museum, he drew on Roman history 

 for the story of how the sheep once strayed into the 

 Forum. The following is a list of the awards :—
