of a very handsome entrance gate to this demesne. The mansion itself dominates from a distance the whole of the beautifully-sloped showground. The belt: of timber surrounding the whole yard adds to the picturesqueness of a naturally pleasing situation. ' Such attractive setting will increase the enjoyment of visitors.
Throughout the preliminary proceedings we were reminded of the large numbers of troops training in the immediate vicinity, never-ceasing attempts on the part. of bugler learners dinning our ears all day long.
The facilities for getting to the showground are good, a tra.rhline running to within 100 yards or so of the main entrance to the Show. As we write, we can but express the hope that the Show will be entirely satisfactory, considering the remarkable industrial conditions which have dominated its preparation. Our own opinion is that, while the ordinary public "gate " is extremely likely to be small, especially on account of the entire absence of excursion facilities, the opportunity will be a golden one to those many people who, in the present state of upheaval, are being forced to "make do" with plant of other types and patterns on account of the difficulty of securing exactly what they want when they want it. For that reason alone' there will be without doubt very numerous inquiries for all those kinds of exhibits in which we of this journal are particularly interested.
It is greatly to be hoped that it will be found.possible to take advantage of the remarkable business which is to be had by all those who can undertake it. As an illustration of this point, we may conclude these introductory paragraphs with a repetition of a statement made to us by a prominent manufacturer of agricultural machinery. "Things are in such a state at the present time, that you can sell almost anything, if you can deliver it; that will help to get the farm work done." What is true of farm work is also true of transport and other allied occupations.
