Several other societies, not able to

in writing their concurrence in the 
object of the deputation. 
The following official letter on the 
subject had since been received by 
their Secretary : — 
Railway Clearing House, 
Seymour Street, Euston Square, N.W. 
May 12th, 1893. 
Dear Sin, — I am in receipt of your letter of 
yesterday, with enclosures, and have the plea- 
sure to confirm what was stated verbally to 
your deputation— viz. that the railway mana- 
gers agree to revert to the arrangement in 
force last year, under which men travelling 
bond fide in charge of live stock (including 
horses) to or from shows will be conveyed free 
in the same train as the animals — one man for 
each vehicle — upon presentation of a duly 
authenticated certificate. This arrangement 
will include all railway companies in Great 
Britain, and will apply to both passenger and 
goods train traffic. — Yours truly, 
n. Smart.

The Royal Agricultural Society of England,

Country Meeting of 1895. 
Mr. Muntz said that, in accordance 
with the undertaking which he gave 
at the last meeting, he communicated 
with the Mayor of Birmingham -and 
with leading gentlemen in the county 
of Warwick as to the Society’s 
Country Meeting being held at Bir- 
mingham in 1895. He found the 
general opinion to be that, as the 
Meeting was held at Warwick last 
year, it would be too soon to hold the 
Country Meeting at Birmingham in 
1895, and it had, therefore, been con- 
sidered advisable by the local autho- 
rities to postpone an invitation to the 
Society until a longer period had 
elapsed. 
Sir Jacob Wilson said that under 
these circumstances he desired, as 
Chairman of the Special Committee 
appointed last year with regard to 
the rotation of districts, to move for- 
mally, “ That the Country Meeting of 
1895 be held in the Society’s District 
B, consisting of the counties of Cum- 
berland, Durham, Northumberland, 
and Westmoreland.” 
This was seconded by the Hon. 
Cecil T. Parker, and carried unani- 
mously. 
Jubilee of Kothamsted Experiments. 
On the motion of Mr. Dent, 
seconded by Mr. Martin, it was re- 
solved to present an address from the 
Society to Sir John Lawes and Dr. 
Gilbert on the occasion of the Jubilee 
of the Bothamsted Experiments. 
Dates of Future Meetings. 
Various letters and other docu- 
ments having been read and laid 
upon the table, the Council adjourned 
until Wednesday, June 21, 1893, at 
1 p.m., in the showyard at Chester, 
and it was at the same time arranged 
that a meeting of the Council should 
be held in the Council Pavilion in 
the showyard at 1 p.m. daily, from 
Monday, June 19, to Friday, June 23, 
inclusive. The general meeting of 
Governors and Members was fixed to
