I should like to inform exhibiting members that some 

 medals this year have not been awarded, as there were not 

 three members competing. 



If any member has atn- suggestion to make respecting the 

 awarding of medals, with the object of making foreign bird 

 exhibiting more popular, I shall be very glad if they will open 

 a discussion on the matter.
