GENERAL MEETING AT WARWICK. 



Balance at 

 Bankers. 



1892 Show. 



Hunter

Mares. 



Societies 

 offering the 

 Gold 

 Medal. 



The balance at bankers on May 30th was £791 15s. 4d., of 

 which £500 was on the deposit account. 



The last Show, again held in conjunction with the Hackney 

 Horse Society, was noted for the largest entry as yet made, 

 the figures for the eight shows being : — 



The Eoyal Commission on Horse-Breeding and the Eoyal 

 Agricultural Society of England offered, as in the previous 

 four years, their Service Premiums for Thoroughbred Stallions. 

 The young stock — Mares, Colts and Geldings — were well cared 

 for by this Society, as £625 were offered among the seven 

 classes, a special feature of the prize-list being the Premiums 

 placed at the disposal of Breeders who have registered their 

 Mares in the Society's Eecord. The absence of Premiums for 

 Brood Mares caused some disappointment, but the Council 

 recognized the importance of the representations made to 

 them as to the risk to in-foal Mares travelling at the time of 

 the year, and they decided to offer Premiums and Medals at 

 the local shows. 



This departure has been well justified by the large increase 

 of applications from Societies which, by enlarging their prizes 

 for Hunter Brood Mares, have claimed this Society's Medal. 

 In 1891 the number of Societies co-operating was twenty ; this 

 year (1892) they are twenty-eight, and their names are : —
