the  Council  had  been  determined  to  pull  the  Show  round,  and  those  who  were 
at  one  time  in  favour  of  a Show  at  some  fixed  place  had  now  thrown  in  their 
lot,  and  were  doing  everything  they  couid  to  make  the  migratory  system 
a success.  They  all  hoped  that  Show  would  be  a great  success,  and  that 
the  Shows  would  be  successful  for  many  years  to  come.  He  could  assure  them 
that  as  long  as  they  did  him  the  honour  of  having  him  as  Honorary  Director  he 
would  leave  nothing  undone  on  his  part  to  make  it  so.  Before  he  sat  down 
he  desired  to  thank  all  those  with  whom  he  had  come  in  contact  in  Liverpool, 
and  in  Lancashire  and  Cheshire,  in  connection  with  that  Show.  Everything  he 
bad  suggested  that  was  possible  to  do  had  been  done  by  the  agriculturists 
in  that  part  of  the  world.  They  had  done  all  they  could,  and  now  only  three 
fine  days  were  wanted  to  make  the  Show  a success. 
The  meeting  then  terminated.
