242 The Norwich Show, 1911. 



Mrs. Stuart and Miss Colman greatly added to the pleasure 

 of those who visited the Show. 



Mr. Henry Giles, the agent for the Crown Point Estate, 

 like his predecessor, the late Mr. Garrett Taylor, on the 

 occasion of the Society's earlier visit, was indefatigable in 

 doing everything possible to make the Show a success. The 

 Local Honorary Secretaries — the Town Clerk, Mr. Miller, and 

 Mr. Edmund Beck — too, rendered most valuable services, 

 both in the preliminary preparations and during the Show. 



In addition to a Showyard with such natural beauties as 

 that possessed by the site at Crown Point, the County of 

 Norfolk also provided the Acting President for the year. 

 Sir Ailwyn Fellowes, in addition to being the Deputy of His 

 Majesty, was Chairman of the Norwich Local Committee, 

 and was also very closely identified with the railway arrange- 

 ments as Deputy-Chairman of tlie Great Eastern Railway 

 Company. 



The following letter, received by the Acting President, 

 forms a very happy conclusion to the Report on the Norwich 

 Show of 1911 :— 



Buckingham Palace, 



June SOth, 1911. 



My Dear Fellowes — 



The King wishes me again to convey to you the expression of his sincere 

 thanks for all that you have done during the past year on his behalf as 

 Acting President of the Tloj-al Agricultural Show, and especially for your 

 efforts to make his visit to the Show on the 28lh inst. a most enjoyable one. 



All the arrangements for his reception and general comfort were greatly 

 appreciated by His Majesty. 



The King congratulates you upon the very large attendance in the show- 

 yard, and he is much gi'atified to see by the papers that the number of 

 visitors yesterday was almost double that of the coiTesponding day of last 

 year's show. 



Believe me, 



Yours very truly, 



ARTHUR BIGGE. 



The Right Hon. Sir Ailwyn Fellowes, K.C.V.O., Acting President, Royal 

 Agricultural Show.
