G. U. Macdonald, and G. Mowat), said it was thought that 

 at Aberdeen the Exhibition had reached its zenith, but Stirhng 

 had beaten any Exhibition the Arboricultural Society had held 

 anywhere. He also referred to the Exhibits sent in by the 

 President, and to the fine collection of timber in the log, and 

 the model house shown by Messrs James Jones & Sons, Ltd., 

 which, he said, must have cost them a great deal of thought 

 and expense. 



The President returned the thanks of the Council for the 

 Exhibits which had been forwarded. After all, he remarked, 

 it did not matter whether they got medals or not; they were 

 all there for the good of forestry, and the more they could 

 help it the better. He had seen a good many of these 

 Exhibitions, but he never saw one that was more interesting or 

 practical.
