sion on. Horse Breedifig, of the Hunters' Improvement and Hackney 
Hoi'se Societies, and of this Society, and which was honoured by 
the presence of Her Majesty the Queen, their Royal Highnesses tlie 
Prince and Princess of Wales, and other members of the Royal

Stallions serving mares in District E during the pi'esent season were

from the morning of Monday, J une 22, to the evening of Wednes- 
day, June 24, are located for the season as follows : — Linnaeus at 
his owner's stables, Bainesse, Catterick, travelling also to Bedale,

13. As already repoi-ted, invitations for the holding of the 
Society's Country Meeting of 1892 in their respective localities 
were received from the city and county of Gloucester and the town 
and county of Warwick ; and on the 4th February last deputations 
from both districts waited upon the Council in support of these invi- 
tations. After duly weighing the mei-its of the sites and other 
accommodation offered by both Gloucester and Warwick, the 
Council decided to accept the invitation of the latter ; and the 
Country Meeting of 1892 will therefore be held at Warwick, in the 
grounds of the Castle Park. The historic interest of this site, its 
beautiful situation, and the proximity of Birmingham and other 
large centres of population in the Midlands, lead the Council to 
anticipate at the Warwick Meeting a highly successful gathering. 
14. The Council have already decided to hold, in connection 
with the Warwick Meeting, trials of Ploughs in competition for 
prizes in eight classes, as follows :
