Report to the General Meeting, 
15. The authorities of Leeds, having found it impossible to 
provide a suitable site, were reluctantly compelled to withdraw their 
invitation to the Society to hold its Country Meeting of 1891 at 
that town. A cordial invitation from the authorities at Doncaster 
having been received, and the Inspection Committee having reported 
favourably upon the site and accommodation offered, the Council have 
resolved that the Country Meeting of 1891 shall be held there. 
A portion of the famous Doncaster race-course will be set apart by 
the Corporation for the purposes of the Show. This circumstance, 
and the exceptional facilities of access by rail, combine to raise the 
highest expectations of the success of what will be the Society's 
first visit to Doncaster. 
16. The Council have decided to offer, in connection with the 
Doncaster Meeting, three Prizes of 100Z., 50?., and 251. respectively, 
for the best combined Portable Threshing and Finishing Machine, 
to be worked by steam, and adapted to the preparation of corn for 
market. The regulations for this competition, which will be held 
before the opening of the Show, have already been issued, and the 
entries will close on Friday, August 1 next, in order that due 
arrangements may be made for the supply of the necessary corn for 
the trials. 
17. In accordance with the usual rotation of Districts, the 
Country Meeting of 1892 will be held in District F, which consists 
of the counties of Gloucester, Hereford, Monmouth, Salop, Stafford, 
Warwick, Worcester, and of South Wales. An invitation to the 
Society to visit Warwick in that year has already been received, and 
will be considered, with any other invitations from towns in the 
District, after the autumn recess this year. 
18. The Council have appointed as Provincial Veterinary Surgeons 
of the Society, Mr. Robert Roberts, of Wrexham, for Flintshire ; 
Professor W. T. Wilson, of Cirencester, for Gloucestershire ; and 
Mr. A. W. Mason, of Leeds, for the West Riding of Yorkshire 
(additional). * 
19. The Examiners on the diseases of animals of the farm other 
than the horse, in the examinations for the diploma of the Royal 
College of Veterinary Surgeons held last year, have reported that 
the following gentlemen attained the greatest distinction : — 
Mr. IT. II. Milw.yrd, Mareham-le-Fen, Lincolnshire. 
Mr. J. Golledge, Whaddon Grove, Trowbridge. 
The Society's Silver Medal has, therefore, been awarded to Mr. 
Milward, and the Bronze Medal to Mr. Golledge. 
20. At the last General Meeting it was reported that the Council 
had expressed to the Worshipful Company of Farriers their willing- 
ness to co-operate with it in its efforts to promote skilled Farriery
