230 TKANSACTIONS OF ROYAL SCOTTISH AKHORICULTUKAL SOCIETY. 



competitions held in connection with the Highland and 

 Agricultural Society's Show were started during Mr Galloway's 

 tenure of office, and here again his organising skill and devoted 

 energy has made this phase of the Society's activities the 

 success it is to-day. The exhibits in connection with the 

 National Exhibitions at Edinburgh in 1908, and Glasgow in 

 191 1, also owed their success to his efforts. 



Recently a very comprehensive and business-like scheme 

 for the formation of a company to promote forestry in all its 

 branches was drawn up by Mr Galloway, and submitted to 

 the Development Commissioners. Unfortunately the putting 

 into operation of this scheme has been delayed, but on all 

 sides this scheme is regarded as the basis of future develop- 

 ments. 



Last, but not least, to Mr Galloway is due the entire credit 

 for the conception and organisation of the recent Diamond 

 Jubilee celebrations which were so successfully carried out. 

 This was by far the most important and comprehensive 

 forestry meeting and tour which has ever taken place in 

 Scotland, yet not one detail in the entire arrangement was 

 neglected, with the result that not a single hitch occurred in 

 the entire programme, and Mr Galloway well deserved the 

 manifold expressions of appreciation which he received for 

 his work. In regard to his capacity as treasurer one need only 

 refer to the sound financial condition of the Society. 



From the moment Mr Galloway undertook the duties he 

 so faithfully discharges, the affairs of the Society have prospered 

 and its activities have increased. Our Secretary has a sound 

 knowledge of forestry, and takes a keen interest in all that helps 

 to forestry development. He is proud of the Society, and the 

 Society is proud of him.
