THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW AT WOLVER. 
HAMPTON. 
The success hitherto attending the visits of the Royal 
Agricultural Society to the manufacturing districts has not 
been so fully realised at Wolverhampton as had been ex- 
pected. The receipts, although they have exceeded those of 
Oxford and other meetings in purely agricultural districts, 
have fallen far short of Manchester and Leeds. The total sum 
received for admission to the yard during the week does not

at Manchester the receipts at the doors were considerably over 
£15,000. On Monday, the 5s. day, only 2654 persons paid 
for admission ; and on the two following days, when the 
entrance fell to 2s. 6d., 18,578 passed the turnstiles. The 
first shilling day, Thursday, brought 52,466 visitors, and the 
second 33,624, making a total for the five days of 107,322.
