MIURTHER information is to hand concerning the agri cultural shows of 1926 and the commercial motor exhibits thereat, and this will serve to supplement the paragraph on page 458 in our issue for June 1st. Certain of the shows that were to have been held during the period affected by the general strike, and which were postponed, have now been fixed for later dates, and these dates are given below. The Glasgow Agricultural Society's Show, which was to have been held at Scotstoun, Glasgow, on Tuesday last, has had to be postponed until August 10th because of an outbreak of foot-and-month disease at Carlisle.
