nndor the charge of Mr. John Furley, Director of the Ambu- 
lance Department of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in 
England. During the Show forty-four cases of accidents, 
wounds, or general ailments were dealt with, but only nine of 
these were at all serious. Mr. J. W. Gooch, M.R.C.S., of Wind- 
sor, kindly acted as medical officer in charge, and he was assisted 
by his partner, JNIr. Norris, and by Mr. E. W. Phillips, house- 
surgeon of the Royal Infirmary, Windsor. Mr. S. Osborn gave 
two days, and Mr. W. H. Pi'att and Mr. F. G. Brown each one 
day, so that there was at least one surgeon on duty every day of 
the week, besides fifteen trained first-aid helpers. The facilities 
afforded by the ambulance station were greatly appreciated, and 
the Societj^'s warmest thanks are due to the Association antl to 
Mr. Furley for their services in the matter. 
A special office, with an interpreter, was provided by the 
Society for the convenience of foreign visitors, and 115 persons 
availed themselves of it. More than half of these were Germans, 
the remainder comprising Belgians, Swedes, Spaniards, one or

States Department of Foreign Agriculture; the Baron Lucius 
von Ballhausen and Herr von Thiel, of the Berlin Ministry of 
Agriculture ; and Paul de Vuyst, of the Ministry of Agri- 
culture, Belgium. Most of the inquirers were professors in 
agi'icultural colleges, delegates from agricultural societies, and 
breeders of stock. 
The number of visitors to the Show exceeded the expectations 
of those who from long experience realise the effect which a 
railway journey of any length or difficulty has in checking the 
attendance of the general public. That the total was so great 
must be attributed not so much perhaps to the proximity of the 
vast population of the metropolis, as to the enthusiasm aroused 
among agriculturists of all classes throughout the kingdom. 
Never probably in the history of the Scciety have its members 
flocked so unanimously to its support. The Secretary of the 
Society has prepared a Memorandum as to the attendances and 
receipts, which I think it best to reproduce in his own words in 
an Appendix. 
It is impossible to conclude an account of the Great Show 
without referring to the loyal and hearty co-operation of all con- 
cerned in its management. It is little short of marvellous that 
so vast an organisation — pieced together, so to speak, with infinite 
pains and care for one brief week — should have worked with so 
little friction. This result could only have been attained bv the
