 Edinburgh, there were a number of places in the neighbourhood 

 which might be visited, such as Dalkeith, Newbattle, Arniston,

 The Chairman said he had no doubt that the meeting would 

 be very pleased to leave the matter in the capable hands of 

 Mr Buchanan and his Committee.

 Aberdeen Branch would take the matter up very heartily, and, 

 considering the additional inducements offered this year by

 Exhibition, said that very good progress was being made 

 with the arrangements. They had an enthusiastic Committee

 would also give an enthusiastic response to the appeal which 

 had been made for offers of exhibits. They were, however, 

 short of funds, but he was sure he had only to mention that
