DEPUTATION TO BRISTOL. 



cvii 



Y.M.H.. Mr. H. B. May, V.M.H., and the Rev. W. Wilks, M.A., V.M.H., 

 visited the Flower Show held in connexion with the Royal Agricul- 

 tural Show at Bristol. 



On arriving at the station the Deputation found its way to the 

 somewhat distant Show ground on Clifton Down and were welcomed 

 at the entrance by Mr. McRow, the Secretary of the R.A.S., and 

 directed by him to the still distant flower tents where the Hon. John 

 Boscawen was in readiness to escort the Deputation round all the 

 Exhibits. The Show proved to be a really magnificent one, and the 

 Deputation appreciated it very highly, as may be seen by the number 

 and grade of the awards which they made. 



After finishing their work the Deputation were very handsomely 

 entertained at luncheon by the Right Hon. Lord Northbrook, Sir 

 Gilbert Greenall, Bart., and other members of the Council of the Royal 

 Agricultural Society. The Deputation returned to London the same 

 evening after a very strenuous day — the heat of the sun on Clifton 

 Down having been somewhat excessive.
