Carcase Competition therein, and that a sum of 15 per annum 

 be paid to the Hall Company towards the expense of removing the 

 implement exhibitors' packing cases and boxes." 



Also that the animals in the Carcase Competition be removed for 

 slaughter at 5 p.m. on the Monday of the Show. 



Resolved, that the recommendations of the Committee be adopted. 



Resolutions passed by the Highland Cattle Society, the Galloway 

 Cattle Sales Association, and the Hereford Herd Book Society, 

 respecting the selection of judges at the Club's Shows for the breeds 

 which they represented, were received. 



The Committee appointed to consider the question of the appoint- 

 ment and arrangement of the judges at the Club's Show brought up their 

 report, recommending practically the present arrangement of two 

 breeds in a division, with a judge for each of the two breeds acting 

 together, but that all champion prizes should be awarded by a single 

 judge. 



An amendment was moved that a single judge should judge each 

 breed, and this was carried. 



Further amendments were moved (i) that three judges be appointed 

 to award the championships, and (2) that two judges be appointed, with 

 umpires as at present, to award the champion prizes, but were not 

 carried. 



It was thereupon resolved 



That each breed of cattle, sheep, and pigs be judged by a single 

 judge, with the exception that Kerry, Dexters and small Cross-breds 

 be judged by one judge, and Leicesters and Border Leicesters by 

 one judge, and that two judges make the awards in the Carcase 

 Competition. 



That the champion Cups and Plate and H.M. the Queen's Chal- 

 lenge Cup for cattle be awarded by one judge, the champion plate for 

 Long-woolled sheep by one judge, the champion plate for Short-woolled 

 sheep by one judge, H.R.H. The Prince of Wales's Challenge Cup by 

 one judge, champion plates and H.R.H. the Duke of York's Challenge 

 Cup for pigs by one judge, and that one judge award the champion 

 prizes in the Carcase Competition. 



Resolved, on the motion of Mr. C. W. Tindall 



"That in view of the Smithfield Club having now entered upon the 

 second centenary of its existence, it appears desirable that a 

 Special Committee should be appointed to inquire into the whole 

 subject of its present constitution and administration, and report 

 to the Council whether any, and if so what, changes would in 

 their opinion conduce to its extended usefulness in the future. 



The following were appointed members of the Committee : Eari 

 Winterton, Mr. J. Bowen-Jones, Mr. W. Cooper, Mr. J. D. Fletcher, 

 Mr. T. Latham, Mr. Clare Sewell Read, Mr. R. Stratton, Mr. Garrett 

 Taylor, Mr. C. W. Tindall, and Sir Jacob Wilson. 



The Committee recommended that the Club be incorporated under 

 the Companies Acts, 1862 to 1898, as a company not formed for P' 

 with Memorandum and Articles of Association and Bye-laws. Ih 

 Report of the Committee and the Memorandum, Articles of Association, 

 and Bye-laws were adopted, and the Solicitor instructed to submit the 

 Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended for the approval o 

 the Board of Trade, with the view of submitting the same to a General 

 Meeting of the members.
