ESSEX AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The annual meeting of this Society was Iield on Friday, 

 Jan. 4, at Chelmsford. Ur. T. W. Bramstone, M.P,, 

 presided, and there was an influential attendance. 



The Seceetaey (Mr. E. Emson) read a very satisfactory 

 report and statement of accounts, from which it appeared 

 that a fui'ther sum of i;200 bad been invested in Consols, 

 making a total of ^86'J stock held by the Society, and leav- 

 ing a balance of ^6124 in the treasui'er's hands. Every 

 succeeding exliibition of the Society had showed a signal 

 imijrovement over the preceding ; aud last year's meeting 

 at Saffron Walden would have reflected credit on any so- 

 ciety in the kingdom. The interest felt in it was shown 

 by the fact, that notwithstanding the unfavourable state of 

 the weather, the receipts for admission amounted to £157, 

 while the sums awarded in prizes reached the large total 

 of £518. 



Mr. R. B. Wingfield Baker proposed that Sir T. B 

 Lennard should be elected President for the ensuing year

 ried unanimously.
