Further letters had been received 
from Mr. Swan as to the award of the 
English Jersey Society’s champion 
prize in Classes 116a and 116ft at the 
Chester Meeting ; but as the Council 
had already decided that the award of 
the champion prize had been made in 
accordance with the regulations, the 
Committee recommended that Mr. 
Swan be informed that the question 
could not be reopened. The Com- 
mittee had considered the prizes pro- 
posed to be offered by the Local 
Committee, and had arranged a pre- 
liminary prize-sheet for the Cam- 
bridge Meeting, which would be 
printed and sent out to all members 
of Council before the December meet- 
ing. Offers of champion prizes at the 
Cambridge Meeting of 15 1. each for

animal of the Aberdeen Angus breed, 
from the Polled Society ; and of 20 1.

Suffolk Sheep Society, had been

Implement. 
Mr. Frankish (Chairman) reported 
that the draft prize-sheet and regu- 
lations for the exhibition and trial of 
implements at the Cambridge Meet- 
ing had been considered and amended, 
and the Committee recommended that 
the regulations be reprinted, and a 
copy sent to each member of Council, 
with a view to their formal adoption 
at the December meeting. The regu- 
lations for the trials of oil engines at 
Cambridge had been further con- 
sidered, and the Committee recom- 
mended that in the first trial of the 
engines one of the well-known brands 
of oil, e.ff. Russoline oil, should be 
used, but that in the second run each 
exhibitor should be allowed to use 
any brand of oil he thought proper, 
the judges to take into consideration 
the actual market price per gallon at 
which such brand could be purchased. 
The Committee approved the recom- 
mendations of the Dairy Committee 
with reference to the classes and 
prizes for churns at Cambridge. 
General Cambridge.

mittee had considered the [list of

Local Committee, with the sugges- 
tions thereon of the Stock Prizes 
Committee and the Dairy Com- 
mittee, and had referred back cer- 
tain of the prizes to the Local Com- 
mittee for further consideration. A 
proposed schedule of prizes for grain 
and mustard seed would be con- 
sidered by the Local Committee, who 
would report their decision at the 
December meeting. The Local Com- 
mittee had nominated as Agent for 
Lodgings Mr. E. Peters, estate agent,
