Country Meeting of 1892. 
The Secretary reported that the 
Committee appointed at the meeting 
of Council in November last to inspect 
the sites and other accommodation 
offered by the local authorities of 
Warwick and Gloucester respectively 
for the Society's Country Meeting 
next year had made their ipspection 
last week, and the customary formal 
answers to the Society's queries had 
been signed by the Mayor and Town 
Clerk of each place. Deputations 
were now in waiting from both dis- 
tricts to support their applications. 
The Speaker of the House of Com- 
mons had called at the Society's 
offices on Monday last in order to 
express his regret that his Parlia- 
mentary duties would prevent his 
attending on that da}', as he should 
otherwise have made a point of doing, 
to support the invitation given by the 
local authorities of Warwick. 
Invitation from Warrvick. 
The deputation from Warwick, 
which was first received, consisted of 
Lord Leigh (Lord Lieutenant of the 
Coimty), Lord Brooke, M.P., Mr. P. 
Albert Muntz, M P., the Mayor and 
Town Clerk of Warwick, Mr. T. H. 
G. Kewton, Mr. Margetts, and Mr. 
Fredk. H. Moore (Local Secretary). 
Lord Leigh, in introducing the 
deputation, said they hoped most 
sincerely that the Council would 
select the town of Warwick for their 
Country Meeting of 1892. It was 
now thirty-two years ago since the 
Royal Agricultural Society visited 
their town, in 18.59, when the Show 
was one of the best that, up to that 
time, had ever been held. He had had 
then the honour of performing the 
same function which was his pleasant 
duty that day, viz., of introducing 
the deputation. The railway accom- 
modation of the district was ad- 
mirable, and Warwick was in the 
midst of a population which, within 
a radius of forty miles, numbered a 
million of people. He believed the 
sites which they were prepared to 
offer could not be surpassed in any 
county of England. They had the 
magnificent park of Lord Warwick, 
which was acknowledged to be one 
of the finest castles and one of the 
grandest parks in the kingdom, and 
they had also the racecourse, on 
which the Society held their Show in 
1859, and which was considered a 
very good site indeed. There was an 
ample supply of water, and, indeed, 
he did not know that there were any 
of the Society's reqnirements with 
which they could not comply. He 
earnestly hoped that their county 
town would be selected for the So- 
ciety's Country Meeting of 1892. 
The Mayor of Warwick (Mr. J. 
W. Mann) said that Lord Leigh 
had mentioned the fact that Warwick 
was very central : it was, in fact, 
situated in the centre of England. 
It was accessible from almost every 
point, being served by the Great 
Western Railway by its main line 
from London to Birmingham, and 
also by the London and North- 
western Railway. Leamington and 
AVarwick for this purpose formed 
practically one borough They had 
four stations, and the accommodation 
for traffic was ample. The interest 
of Warwick and its vicinity was very 
great, and Warwick Casile was a
