clxxx Monthly Council, December 9, 1851. 
nection with an offer of prizes by the 
Warwick Local Committee for four 
classes of Highland cattle. A letter 
had also been received from the 
Polled Cattle Society on the subject 
of prizes for the Aberdeen-Angus 
breed at Warwick. After considerable 
discussion, the Committee had unani- 
mously resolved that no prizes could 
be offered in connection with the 
Warwick Meeting for Scotch breeds 
of cattle. The Committee could not, 
therefore, see their way to recom- 
mend the acceptance of the prizes by 
the Local Committee. An offer of 
a champion prize by the Red Polled 
Society for the best Red Polled bull, 
cow, or heifer exhibited had been 
accepted with thanks. The Com- 
mittee having now finally revised the 
prize sheet and regulations for the 
Warwick Meeting, recommended 
them to the Council for approval and 
issue forthwith. They also recom- 
mended that the Chairman be em- 
powered to accept any champion 
prizes from breed societies which 
might be offered before the prize 
sheet was printed, and which com- 
plied witli the regulations of the prize 
sheet. The Committee had met seven 
times, and made seven reports. 
Mr. Sandat added that since the 
meeting of the Committee an offer 
had been received from the Short- 
horn Society of two champion prizes 
of 25Z. each for the best male and the 
best female Shorthorn exhibited at 
Warwick ; and tliis offer was accepted 
with thanks. 
Mr. AsHWOETH announced that 
the British Berkshire Society had 
voted a cliampion prize of 10^. for 
the best Berkshire pig exhibited in 
the boar and sow classes. Thi/s offer 
was also accepted. 
An offer made on behalf of some 
breeders and feeders of Kerry or 
Dexter Kerry cattle of tlie prize 
money for an additional class of 
Kerry and Dexter heifers under three 
years of age, was declined. 
In moving tlie adoption of tlie 
draft prize sheet for Warwick, Mr. 
Sanday said that since the meeting 
of the Committee a suggestion had 
been made wliich scemcci a very valu- 
able one, that no pigs which had been 
exhibited as fat .stock at any show 
should be eligible to comi)cte for the 
Society's prizes ; and he therefoi'e 
moved the addition of a regulation 
to this effect. 
Mr. AsHWORTH thought the pro- 
posed rule was a most imporant one, 
and he strongly supported it. 
Mr. Garrett Taylor pointed out 
that notice had not been given to 
exhibitors, and moved as an amend- 
ment that the new regulation be post- 
poned until the show of 1893. 
Mr. C. W. Wilson seconded the 
amendment, which on a division was 
lost by nine votes to fourteen. 
The prize sheet, with the addition 
of the proposed new regulation, was 
then formally approved and ordered 
to be issued. 
Implement. 
Mr. Ceutchley reported that a 
selection of land suitable for the pur- 
poses of the plough trials next spring 
had been made, and the Committee 
recommended that the Local Com- 
mittee be requested to complete the 
arrangements for securing the land 
selected. Other arrangements for 
the trials were in progress. The Com- 
mittee had met seven times and made 
seven reports.

the Local Committee had nominated
