Thanks to Lord Mayor and Corporation. 



Sir Gilbert Greenall, moving a resolution of thanks to the Lord Mayor 

 and Corporation of Xorwich, said that was a business meeting, and therefore 

 he hoped that, in simply and briefly proposing the resolution placed in his hands, 

 it would not be thought that the Society was not fully alive to the great work 

 and hospitality of the Lord Mayor, supported by the Corporation, of Norwich. 

 Ever since the Show officials had been working there tliey had received every 

 kindness from the Lord JIayor. He had done everything in his power to 

 make the Show a success, and hatl been backed up throughout by the Cor- 

 poration of the City. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, he begged to move : " That 

 the best thanks of the Society are due, and are hereby tendered, to the Lord 

 Mayor and Corporation of Norwich for their cordial reception of the Society." 



Mr. C. R. W, Adeane, in seconding the motion, said their Chairman that 

 day had paid him the compliment of being stubborn in the interests of the 

 Society, but, however stubborn he might be, he could assure those present that 

 he needed no driving to second this resolution, which was no formal matter, 

 because they all realised that, however perfect their Show might be in itself, 

 it could not be a success unless it received the good will and hearty co-operation 

 of the locality to which it made its visit. The Society had always been 

 extremely fortunate in the welcome it received, but never could the warmth 

 and kindness of the reception be greater than had been the case in the present 

 instance. This was almost entirely due to the Lord Mayor and Corporation 

 of Norwich, and the Society gave them their most hearty thanks. 



The resolution having been adopted. 



The Lord Mayor of Norwich, on behalf of the city, acknowledged the 

 cordial expressions of thanks for the little they had been able to do to make 

 the meeting this year a success. He need hardly remind those present that 

 the city and county lived almost entirely, directly or indirectly, through 

 agriculture. It had been a great pleasure to welcome the Society that week. 

 If the efforts of the citizens met with the Society's satisfaction, they were 

 very amply repaid. (Applause.) 



Thanks to Local Committee. 

 The Earl of Northbrook had pleasure in moving that the Society's thaidis 

 be tendered to the Norwich Local Committee for. their exertions to promote the 

 success of the Show. He thought it would be obvious to all of them that the 

 success of those Shows must depend to a great extent upon the local support 

 they received. They were fortunate this year in having been associated with 

 an able aufl business-like Committee, and also in having the co-operation and 

 assistance of a number of influential gentlemen resident in the city and county. 

 They desired to express to the Local Committee their appreciation of the good 

 work that they had done, and the help they had given in promoting the success
