Vote of Thanks to Mayor and Cor- 
poration of Doncaster. 
Earl Cathcaet then said it was 
his very agreeable duty as Senior 
Steward of Stock to move, " That the 
best thanks of the Society be given 
to the Mayor and Corporation of 
Doncaster for their cordial reception 
of the Society." His Lordship said, 
as Senior Steward of Stock, he had 
been connected with the heavy- 
weights. He himself was only a 
light-weight, and he should find it 
difficult to carry upon his shoulders, 
metaphorically, the weight of obliga- 
tion they were under to the Mayor 
and Corporation of Doncaster. To 
see the interest which Doncaster had 
taken in the Society, they had only 
to look at the decorations in the town 
on their way to the Showyard. He 
reminded them that they were on 
classic ground. If they could recall 
the shades of the grand horses that 
had appeared on the Doncaster race- 
course, they would have in their minds 
a noble procession. He had the 
honour to propose a vote of thanks 
to the Mayor and Corporation of Don- 
caster. 
Sir W. GiLSTRAP (Suffolk) se- 
conded, sa}'ing he lived in a distant 
part of the country, and it was a 
great source of satisfaction to them 
that they could come to that great 
Meeting and have their exertions 
fructified by the Society. Every 
facility was given them in their visit, 
and he hoped that the Corporation 
■would receive gratification from the 
favourable circumstances of fine 
weather and a good Meeting. 
The motion ha^-ing been carried 
with acclamation. 
The Mayor of Don'CASTEE (Mr. 
Alderman Stockil) returned thanks 
for the cordial manner in which the 
vote had been proposed and passed, 
assuring them that when it was first 
suggested, and when they knew, that 
the " Koyal " of England was coming 
to Doncaster, they made up their 
minds to make the Meeting a great 
success. He thought the prospect 
they had before them was a sure sign 
that their exertions had been re- 
warded. But they had had most in- 
valuable assistance from all the 
officials connected with them ; and he 
■would not be doing his duty to 
his colleagues if he did not bear 
testimony to the indefatigable exer- 
tions of their ex-Mayor (Jlr. Joseph 
Firth Clark). He believed that all 
the town hailed the visit of the 
Society with pleasure. He could as- 
sure the Society that all their hopes 
would be realised if the Meeting were 
a great success to the Society itself. 
(Cheers.) 
Vote of Thanks to Local Committee. 
Mr. James A. Caiud, as Senior 
Steward of Implements, moved a vote 
of thanks to the Local Committee for 
their exertions to promote the success 
of the Meeting. The Local Com- 
mittee had had a good deal of hard 
work, and they had done it uncom- 
monly well. The ground had been 
well looked after, and it was to be 
hoped the Show would be a great 
success. 
Sir Jacob Wilson seconded, say- 
ing that if he miglit add his own 
personal thanks to the Ldcal Com- 
mittee he should only be doing tliat 
which his heart dictated. In his 
capacity as Honorary Director it hail 
been his duty to pay frequent visits 
there in making the arrangements for 
that great Meeting, and he could only 
say that, with the experience of a 
quarter of a century, he had never 
known tlieir wishes more thoroughly 
anticipated. 
The vote of thanks having Ijeen 
unanimously accorded, 
Jlr. G. B. C. YARUOitoucJH, in reply, 
Baid that though their work had been
