Excursion in 1900. 



Mr D. P. Laird, Convener of the Excursion Committee, reported 

 that, owing to the unsettled condition of public affairs, the Council 

 had reluctantly decided to postpone the proposed Excursion to 

 France, and recommended that instead a visit should be made 

 either to the north of Ireland or to Ayrshire. The matter was 

 remitted to the Council, with powers. 



Glasgow International Exhibition, 1901. 



The Secretary mentioned that further correspondence had taken 

 place between himself and the Manager of the Exhibition, and 

 that a deputation from the Council had met the Exhibition Com- 

 mittee in charge of the Agricultural Section in Glasgow, and had 

 discussed with them the proposal that the Society should get 

 space for an exhibit. A plan was submitted showing the space 

 offered, but it was considered by the Council that the space was 

 not suitable, and that the expense of erecting the necessary 

 buildings — which it was stipulated by the Directors of the 

 Exhibition should be borne by the Society — would be out of 

 proportion to the benefit likely to be derived. He also men- 

 tioned that the Directors of the Exhibition could not see their 

 way to enlarge their Committee by adding to it representatives 

 of the Society. It was decided to allow the matter to drop.
