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 
a ed 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 (1) 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 Chailenge 
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 :—Earl 
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 profit, 
with Memorandum and Articles of Association and Bye-laws. The 
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 of 
the Board of Trade, with the view of submitting the same to a General 
Meeting of the members.
