cxdi Monthly Council , December 6, 1893. 
Showy ard Works. 
Sir Jacob Wilson (Chairman) 
reported that the Committee had con- 
sidered the arrangements for refresh- 
ments at the Cambridge Meeting, in 
connection with plans kindly for- 
warded by Mr. Marshall Stephenson 
as to the procedure of the Yorkshire 
Agricultural Society. The thanks of 
the Committee were due to Mr. 
Stephenson for the valuable infor- 
mation given by him. After careful 
consideration, the Committee recom- 
mended that in place of the one open 
bar for sandwiches and light refresh- 
ments advised by them at the last 
meeting, two such bars be provided, 
and that there be also one large din- 
ing-room, with open bars, on the same 
plan as that of the Yorkshire Agri- 
cultural Society, together with two 
small dining-rooms, two temperance 
sheds, and one workmen’s shed. 
The Committee recommended the 
acceptance of the tender of Mr. John 
Unite for the supply of chairs at the 
Cambridge Meeting on the same terms 
and conditions as at Chester ; and that 
the offer of Mr. Munsey, of Cam- 
bridge, to supply the turret clock and 
clocks for the several offices in the 
showyard be accepted with thanks; 
also that the same arrangements be 
made for the supply of weighbridges 
for the Cambridge Meeting as at 
Chester. The Committee had decided 
to meet in future at 2. 15 p.m., instead 
of three o’clock. During the year 
they had met nine times, and made 
nine reports. 
Selection. 
Earl Cathcart (Chairman) pre- 
sented the recommendations of this 
Committee that the Committee of 
Inspection for the Country Meeting 
of 1895 be constituted as follows : — 
The President, the Earl of Feversham, 
the Hon. Cecil T. Parker, Sir Joseph 
Spearman, Bart., Mr. E. V. V. 
Wheeler, and the Secretary, the 
Committee to report to the next meet- 
ing of Council on February 7. The 
Committee recommended that the 
honorary membership of the Society 
be conferred upon Professor Auguste 
Cliauveau, M.D., LL.D., Inspector 
General of the Veterinary Depart- 
ment of (he French Government, in 
recognition of his distinguished set* 
vices to veterinary science as applied 
to agriculture. The Committee'had 
met seven times during the year, and 
made seven reports. 
Election of an Honorary Member. 
Earl Cathcart, in formally moving 
the election of Professor Chauveau as 
an Honorary Member, said he had 
high scientific authority for stating 
that Professor Chauveau stood pre- 
eminent as a pathologist, physiologist, 
and veterinary anatomist, and was 
eminently worthy of their honorary 
membership. 
Sir Nigel Kingscote said that he 
had the greatest possible pleasure in 
seconding the proposition made by 
the noble Lord for the election of the 
distinguished veterinarian, Professor 
Chauveau, as an Honorary Member of 
that Society. Their Society had 
always — and rightly so — been jealous 
of its honorary membership, be- 
stowing it but rarely, and only upon 
men of high attainments. In asking 
Professor Chauveau to associate him- 
self with the Society as one of its 
honorary members, he (Sir Nigel) felt 
that the Society would be conferring 
a distinction upon itself. Professor 
Chauveau’s renown as an investigator 
was world-wide, and it was only 
necessary to mention his classical 
researches on the subject of anthrax 
to secure for his election an unani- 
mous vote. He had had the pleasure 
of making Professor Chauveau’s per- 
sonal acquaintance in August, 1891, 
when he was one of the pillars of the 
section of the International Congress 
of Hygiene over which he (Sir Nigel) 
presided ; and he was sure that all 
those associated with that section 
would cordially support the propo- 
sition of his election as one of their 
Honorary Members. 
Education. 
Lord Moreton (Chairman) re- 
ported that of the thirty-two candi- 
dates from eleven schools who 
entered for the Society’s Junior 
Examination on the 7th and 8th 
ultimo, sixteen obtained the number 
of marks necessary to qualify them 
for scholarships and certificates, in 
the event of their complying in the 
forthcoming year with the conditions
