Monthly Council, November 5, 1890. 
should, if necessary, move that classes 
for Welsh cattle be provided at Don- 
caster. 
Implement. 
Mr. Frankish (Chairman) re- 
ported that the trials of the cider- 
making plant entered for competi- 
tion in connection with the Plymouth 
Meeting had been duly carried out 
at Glastonbury, on Wednesday, 
October 15. 
The Committee recommended that 
trials of separators be held at Don- 
caster ; also that prizes be offered 
for a mechanical milking machine. 
A return of the silver medals 
awarded by the Society for the last 
ten years had been laid upon the table, 
and the general question of the giv- 
ing of silver medals discussed. The 
Committee did not recommend any 
departure from the existing principle 
with regard to these awards, but had 
amended the regulations so as to 
make it necessary, before a medal 
could be awarded, for a new inven- 
tion to have been subjected to actual 
trial. The draft regulations for the 
exhibition (not for competition) of 
implements at the Doncaster Meeting 
had been considered, and with some 
modifications approved and settled. 
The Committee had further con- 
sidered the question of the issue of a 
single combination catalogue of the 
Society's shows, and recommended 
the Council to incur the necessary 
increased expenditure in selling at 
one shilling a single catalogue con- 
taining particulars of all the exhibits 
— stock, implements, and produce — 
in the showyard.

been discussed, and referred back to 
the Local Committee for further con- ' 
federation. The Mayor of Doncaster 
had reported that the arrangements 
for regulating the Cab Fares, Local 
Police, &c, were in hand. 
Showyard Works. 
Sir Jacob Wilson (Chairman) re- 
ported that the whole of the 
Society's plant at Plymouth had been 
cleared away, and stored under cover 
on a piece of land provided for that 
purpose at Doncaster. The total cost 
on account of the various works in 
the showyard, after deducting the 
amounts realised by sale of materials 
and that received from exhibitors 
and purveyors (3,9292. 8s. 9d.), was 
5,092/. Four tenders for the supply 
of timber for the Doncaster Show 
had been received, and the Com- 
mittee recommended that Messrs. 
Richard Wade, Sons and Co.'s tender 
be accepted. 
Selection. 
The recommendations of this Com- 
mittee having been read, it was 
unanimously resolved, on the motion 
of Earl Catiicart, seconded by the 
Earl of Coventry, that the Honorary 
Membership of the Society be con- 
ferred upon the following gentlemen, 
in recognition of their distinguished 
services to agriculture : —

bruck, of the Imperial Ministry of 
Agriculture, Vienna. 
Chevalier Emanuel von Prosko- 
wetz, sen., of the Imperial and 
Royal Agricultural Society of Mo- 
ravia and Silesia. 
The diplomas as Honorary Members 
of these gentlemen were then signed 
by the President and the Secretary, 
and sealed with the Society's seal.
