conveying,  on  behalf  of  The  King  and  of  Queen  Alexandra,  Their  Majesties’ 
thanks  for  the  Society’s  Addresses  of  Condolence  on  the  occasion  of  the  lamented 
death  of  His  late  Majesty  King  Edward  the  Seventh.

King  George  the  Fifth  had  been  graciously  pleased  to  become  Patron  of  the 
Society  in  succession  to  the  late  King  Edward.

In  view  of  the  necessity  for  the  Society’s  Showyard  Buildings  and  Plant  to 
be  removed  without  delay  from  Liverpool  to  Norwich,  authority  was  given  to 
the  Honorary  Director  to  settle  the  Contract  for  the  erection  of  the  Showyard 
of  1911. 
A letter  was  read  from  Lord  Rothschild,  expressing  his  Lordship’s  willing- 
ness to  undertake  to  procure  and  send  to  the  Woburn  Farm,  free  of  all 
expense  to  the  Society,  thirty  calves  for  the  proposed  demonstration  to  be 
carried  out  in  order  to  show  that  it  is  possible  for  calves  which  are  the 
off-spring  of  tuberculous  cows  to  be  brought  up,  under  proper  conditions,  free 
from  disease. 
Mr.  Bowen-Jones  said  he  was  sure  the  generous  offer  of  Lord  Rothschild 
would  be  fully  appreciated  by  the  Council.  Not  only  would  it  relieve  the 
Societv  of  considerable  financial  cost,  but  it  would  also  facilitate  the  carrying 
out  of  the  experiments  very  much  more  completely  than  if  the  Council  were 
thrown  on  their  own  resources.  They  would  wish  to  respond  to  the  generous 
offer  made  to  them,  and  he  therefore  moved  a hearty  vote  of  thanks  to  Lord 
Rothschild  for  his  liberality.  Mr.  Adeane  seconded  the  motion,  which  was 
unanimously  adopted. 
On  the  motion  of  the  Duke  of  Devonshire,  seconded  by  the  Hon.  Cecil
