The reports of the various Standing 
Committees were then presented aud 
adi'pted as below :— 
Finance. 
S'r Ntc.EL Kikgscote (Chairmin) 
reported that the accounts for the 
month of Jlarch, 1891, as ccrti.led by 
the .Society's accountants, showed total 
receipts amounting to 2,518Z. 18*. id., 
and expenditure amounting to 
2,075?. 5«. \d. Tbebalanceat the bank- 
ers on March 31 was 6,089?. 19*. Ud. 
Accounts amounting in all to 
2,55tJZ. 2s. Id. were passed, and were 
recommended for payment. The 
quarterly statements (1) of subscrip- 
tions and arrears, and (2) of the 
Society's property, were laid upon the 
table. The Committee recommended 
that the names of one governor, six 
life members, and twenty-seven an- 
nual members deceased, one governor 
and twenty-nine members who had 
resigned, eight members whose ad- 
dresses could not be found, and thir- 
teen members in arrears of subscrip- 
tion, be struck oS the register. 
Sir Nigel Kingscote further re- 
ported that the Committee bad 
again carefully considered the ques- 
tion of the limitation of the Society's 
prize-sheet for stock and produce, as 
to which they had submitted repeated 
recommendations in the past. They 
desired to referto their Slemorandum 
on the subject presented to Sir John 
Thorold's Committee on February 1, 
1888, and to again express their ad- 
herence to their resolution of Decem- 
ber 12, 1883, that in future the limit 
of 3,.500Z. for prizes for live-stock 
should not be exceeded. They thought 
that an additional sum of 600Z. should 
be sufficient for the poultry and pro- 
duce classes in the prize-sheet. In 
view of the large and increasing 
claims upon the Society's resouroes 
for other important agricultural ob- 
jects, the Committee felt that they 
could not properly assent to a sum 
greater than 4,000?. being placed at 
'the disposal of the Stock Prizes Com- 
mittee for prizes for stock, poultry, 
and produce at the anAual country 
meetings. 
Presentation of a Portrait of Jethro 
lull. 
The Secretary read a letter from 
5Ir. Martin J. Sufton, offering for the 
acceptance of the Society the original 
painting of Jethro Tull, which had 
been reproduced as a frontispiece to 
Earl Cathcart's memoir of Tull. ap- 
pearing in the current number of the 
Journal. Mr. Sutton added that tbi*
