and its immediate contiguity to the Great Western and South 

 Western Railways, will no doubt tend to the access and accom- 

 modation of a larger number of visitors than have attended on 

 any former occasion. Notwithstanding the short period during

 of the Society who apply to the Secretary for their Pavilion 

 Dinner Tickets between the 20th June and the 5th July, will 

 receive them on the usual conditions. The Council have nearly 

 completed with the principal railway companies throughout the 

 kingdom the arrangements for the conveyance of the stock to and
