The present Show of the Club being held in a scheduled district 
under the Pleuro-pneumonia Act of 1891, animals coming into the 
district can only be allowed out again for slaughter within four days 
with a licence of the local authority of the district to which the animal 
is to be taken, unless under Regulation C of the Act a licence of the 
Board of Agriculture could be obtained, for the removal of cattle out 
of the district not for slaughter. 
Resolved— 
“That no cattle from the scheduled districts of London and 
Edinburgh shall be admitted to the Show. 
That it be a condition of éntry—That cattle be moved in 
conveyances only, direct from the railway termini to the Club’s 
Show, and shall return from the show ina similar manner, unless 
removed for slaughter within the metropolitan scheduled 
district.” 
The Board of Agriculture were then approached on the question 
whether, with these conditions, permission could be given under 
Regulation C for the return home of the young cattle exhibited, for 
further feeding. The Board were, however, unable to grant this 
permission, but they readily acceded to the further request for an 
extension of the time for slaughter, after leaving the district, from 
four days as mentioned in the Act to eight days. 
It was resolved to inform exhibitors at once of these regulations, 
and to give them the option of withdrawing the entry of any cattle 
they might wish to retain for further feeding, and to return the entry 
fees paid thereon. Forty-three head of cattle were withdrawn under 
this permission. 
The death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence and 
Avondale aroused throughout the land feelings of the deepest sympathy 
with Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales, 
and the Council felt that they were but echoing the sentiments of every 
member in passing the following resolution, which was graciously 
received by Her Majesty and the Prince and Princess of Wales :— 
“That the Council of the Smithfield Club desires to convey to 
Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, their Royal Highnesses

and the rest of the Royal Family, its heart-felt sympathy and 
condolence in the great blow which has befallen them and the 
country in the lamented death of His Royal Highness the Duke 
of Clarence and Avondale.” 
Resolved, that the prizes in the Cowclasses 5, 10, 15 and 20 be £15, 
fto and £5, instead of £15 and £10 as at present, and that the age be 
not restricted to six years.
