HUNTERS' IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY 



{Established to promote the Breeding of Riding, Driving and Military Horses) 



REPORT OF THE COUNCIL 



TO THE 



EIGHTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF MEMBERS 



HELD ON WEDNESDAY, March 1st, 1893, 



AT THE 



ROYAL AGRICULTUBAL HALL. 



Members. The Council have to report a constant and steady increase to 

 the Society's Membership during the past year, the list of 

 Subscribers being represented as follows :-^- 



1 Honorary 



803 Annual 



84 Life 



36 Life Lady Members 



Total 924 

 as compared with 860 Members at the time of last year's 

 Show. 

 Balance In their last Annual Keport the Council were enabled to 



present a most satisfactory Balance Sheet, to which the 

 enhanced Show receipts, consequent on the visit of Her 

 Majesty the Queen, largely contributed. The finances of the 

 past year have not been so favoured. A large increase in the 

 prize-money, combined with normal Show receipts, raised the 

 expenditure on the Show from £207 3s. lOd. in 1891 to 

 £557 7s. 2d. in 1892 ; while the increasing number of Shows co- 

 operating in the Society's scheme of Medals and Premiums for 

 Hunter Brood Mares, required a contribution of £155 14s. 6d. 

 in 1892, as against £112 4s. 6d. in the preceding year.
