combining heavy yields with high breeding was the result 

 of Mr. Taylor's efforts. 



He joined the Royal Agricultural Society in 1879, and in 

 the year 1905 was elected to a seat on the Council as the 

 representative of the division of Middlesex. He served on 

 two of the Society's important Committees — the StocE: Prizes 

 and the Showyard Works, at the monthly meetings of which 

 he displayed his keen knowledge of business. Mr. Taylor was 

 also associated with many other Ijodies connected with agri- 

 culture, and in 1911 was President of the Shorthorn Society. 



He always took an active part in public affairs, and for 

 many years was Chairman of the Keynsham Highway Board, 

 being invited to become their first representative on the 

 County Council — an honour he had to decline on account of 

 his leaving the district for Cranford. In 1910 he was elected a 

 county councillor for the Middlesex division. 



Mr. Taylor was a public spirited man and a sportsman, 

 with the reputation of being as good a judge of a horse and 

 hound as of a Shorthorn.
