honour which had been conferred

Suggestions made at General 
Meeting. 
The Council then considered the 
suggestions made by the members at 
the General Meeting on May 22 (see 
page xciii), and agreed, on the recom- 
mendation of the several Committees 
concerned, to reply as follows : — 
Mr. George Barham : (a) That 
the report should be sent by post to all 
the members in anticipation of the 
meeting. 
The Council have on two previous 
occasions within the last two years 
reported that it did not appear neces- 
sary that the serious expense should 
be incurred of printing, addressing, 
and posting to every member the 
reports to the general meetings. 
This expense, including the cost of 
addressing the wrappers, would be 
from 40/. to 50?. on each occasion. 
The May report is issued to the daily 
and agricultural press as soon as the 
final figures of the entries for the 
forthcoming country meeting have 
been ascertained and verified ; and 
the room in which the meeting is 
held is available after eleven o'clock 
to members who may wish to attend 
and consider the report in anticipation 
of the public meeting. Moreover, if 
any member who desires to have the 
report sent to him by post before 
the meeting will communicate his 
wishes to the Secretary, a copy will 
be sent to him as soon as ready. As 
the report to the December General 
Meeting is only settled on the pre- 
vious day, it would not, of course, be 
possible to make the same arrange- 
ments with regard to that report. 
(*) That the Implement and Stock 
Catalogues of the Country Meetings 
should be issued together in one 
volume. 
It is now too late to make any 
alteration in the arrangements for the 
catalogues for the Plymouth Meeting, 
but the question of amalgamating the 
two catalogues will be again consi- 
dered after the recess. 
(c) That the refreshment arrange- 
ments at the Shon-yard should be 
improved. 
The Council are at all times 
desirous of making the refreshment 
arrangements at the showyards as 
convenient and satisfactory to mem- 
bers and visitors as possible, and will 
gladly consider any practical sugges- 
tion having this object, regard being 
had to the necessarily temporary 
character of the arrangements, and 
to the fact that most of the visitors 
resort to the tents at about the same 
time in the day. 
Mr. H. D. Marshall and 
Mr. John* Richardson : — That 
there should be a larger re pre- 
sentation of agricultural implement 
makers on the Council. 
This question will be duly con- 
sidered by the Committee of Se- 
lection as vacancies occur on the 
Council.

the Plymouth Meeting a daily meet- 
ing ot the Council in the Council
