it may be confidently expected that the trials to be carried on at 
Warwick, under the direction of the Society's Judges, will prove 
an interesting feature in the meeting, by affording agriculturists 
an opportunity of personally inspecting the different inventions 
that will then be brought together in competition, 
Tlie Council has decided that the Country Meeting of next 
year, for the South-Eastern district (comprising the counties of 
Kent and Surrey), shall be held at the city of Canterbury, The 
accommodation offered and guaranteed by the authorities pro- 
mises to be unusually convenient and complete. 
The Council has the satisfaction of recording that the interest 
taken by agriculturists generally in these annual exhibitions 
appears steadily to increase, and that year by year greater anxiety 
is manifested by the authorities and inhabitants of tlie principal 
towns v/ithin the district proposed to be visited to secure the 
Society's meeting in their respective localities, and to offer every 
facility in their power to aid the Council in carrying it to a 
successful issue.
