Lenham Agricultural Association.

The annual ploughing match of this association took place on Friday last, in a field belonging to Mr. W. Powell of East Lenham. A list of the prizes described on the occasion will be found at our advertising columns.

The dinner took place at the "Lion Inn," Sir Edmunds Filnest, Bart., M.P. in the chair.
