or will forward a supply of application foruis to the nominating 
Member. A form of nomination is printed in each number of the 
Journal. 
6. The vacancy caused by the deatR of the late Earl of Powis has 
been tilled by the transference of Sir John Lawes, Bart. (Vice- 
President), to the list of Trustees. Mr. H. Chaudos-Pole-Gell has 
been elected to the A'ice-Presidency thus A acated, and Mr. J. !Mar- 
shall Dugdale of Llwyn, Llanfyllin, ^Montgomeryshire, to a scat 
upon the Council. 
7. The entries of live stock at the Society's Country Meeting 
held at Doncaster last June were laT'ger by nearly -400 than at any 
previous ordinary Meeting of the Society, despite the new rule 
limiting to three the entries in the same class that could be 
made by any Exhibitor ; and the number of Implements shown 
was also above the average. The Show week was favoured (with 
the exception of one afternoon) with fine we;xther, and everything 
possible was tlone by the local authorities, the railway companies, 
and others concerned, to make the Show a success. The Meeting 
fully answered its primaiy object by bringing together a tine re- 
prescut^itive collection of live stock of the different bi'eeds, and in 
introducing to the notice of the public the latest developments 
in farm machinery and appliances. 
8. The large number of entries of live stock, especially of horses, 
involved the Society, however, in an unusually heavy expenditure 
for stables and buiklings, which was not recouped by the entry 
fees ; and, in consequence of the enormous quantity of timber to be 
disposed of at the sales held after the Meeting, only moderate prices 
were realised. The magnitude of the Show had also its effect in 
increasing the cost of administration of various other departments ; 
and as the Prizes were about 500^. more than at Plymouth, the 
total expenditure exceeded that of last year by about 2,800/. On 
the other hand, the receipts' were 5,000/. niore than at Plymouth, 
the chief items of this increase being 1,100/. for implement entries, 
500/. for stock entries, and 2,750/. for receipts for admission. 
9. As a final result, the accounts of the Meeting, as passed by 
the auditors on November 16 last, show a profit of 103/. 17s. Sd., as 
against a deficit of 2,197/. at the Plymouth Meeting. This result, as 
the balance is on the right side, can hardly be described as unsatis- 
factory ; but, considering the special efforts that were made, parti- 
cularly by the railway companies, to attract visitors to the Show, it 
is in some measure disappointing. 
10. The Council have decided that the Warwick INleeting shall 
open on ^Monday, June 20, 1892, and close on the following 
Friday evening. The Implomont Yard and the Dairy will be open 
to Members of the Society and the public on the previous Saturday, 
June 18. The last day for making entries in the Implement De-
