General Meeting, July 4, 1912. xxvii 



A Report from the Implement Cummittee with regard to the Trials of Milk- 

 ing Machines which are to be carried out by the Society iu 1913 was received 

 and adopted. 



The Secretary read a letter from Mr. Kenneth Goschen, of Eastcote, an' 

 exhibitor, stating that as the Order of the Board of Agriculture prohibiting the 

 holding of the live stock portion of the Show was bound to cause great loss to 

 the Society, he had much pleasure in enclosing a cheque for ol. as a contribu- 

 tion towards that loss. He further asked that the entry fees he had paid 

 shoukl be placed to the credit of the general fund. 



On the motion of the President it was unanimously decided that a letter 

 should be sent to Mr. Goschen conveying to him the Society's best thanks for 

 his liberality.
