show of live stock and implements was exceptionally good, and 
in this connection it is worthy of note that the County of 
Lincolnshire possesses three distinct breeds, namely, the 
Lincolnshire Red Short-horn, the Lincoln Long- wool Sheep, and 
the Lincolnshire Curly-coated Pig, and in each of these sections 
the Classes and Prizes were augmented by the respective 
Breed Societies. The same privileges in connection with the 
Show were accorded to the Members of the Lincolnshire 
Agricultural Society as are enjoyed by Members of the Royal 
Agricultural Society. The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society’s 
“ one day ” Exhibition of Live Stock and Produce was held in 
the Showyard, on Friday, June 28. His Majesty the King, 
accompanied by The Grand Duke of Hesse, honoured the 
Society by visiting the Show on Wednesday, June 26, and was 
received in the Showyard by the Earl of Yarborough (President 
of the Society), Sir Gilbert Greenall (Honoi'ary Director), the 
Stewards, and other Members of Council. His Majesty 
inspected various exhibits of interest in the Showyard, includ- 
ing the splendid horticultural exhibition arranged by the Local 
Committee. A statement of receipts and expenditure in 
connection with the Show will be presented to the General 
Meeting on December 11. It is estimated that the profit on 
the Show will be 5,056Z., in addition to which there will be the 
contribution of 2,000Z. from the ordinary funds of the Society 
to the Show account.

by two routes of electric tramways.
