and  Mr.  E.  W.  Beck  (Local  Secretary). 
The  President,  in  opening  the  proceedings,  said  that  since  their  last 
meeting  a great  sorrow  had  befallen  the  Royal  Family  by  the  death  of  Prince 
Francis  of  Teck,  the  brother  of  Her  Majesty  Queen  Mary.  He  was  sure 
that  the  deepest  sympathies  of  the  Council  had  been  with  their  Majesties 
the  King  and  Queen  in  their  bereavement,  and  he  begged  to  propose  from 
the  chair  the  following  resolution,  which  was  unanimously  carried,  all  the 
members  standing  : — 
“That  this  Council  desire  to  place  on  record  their  deep  sense  of  sorrow  for  the 
death  of  His  Serene  Highness  Prince  Francis  of  Teck,  and  to  convey  their  respeciful 
sympathy  to  His  Majesty  the  King  and  Her  Majesty  Queen  Mary  in  the  sad  loss 
which  they  have  sustained.” 
The  minutes  of  the  last  meeting  of  the  Council,  held  on  July  27,  1910, 
were  taken  as  read  and  approved. 
Forty-two  duly  nominated  candidates  were  admitted  into  the  Society  as 
Members  under  By-law  2,  and  one  Member  was  re-elected  under  By-law  14. 
In  presenting  the  report  of  the  Finance  Committee,  Mr.  Adeane  stated 
that  the  profit  on  the  Liverpool  Show  was  approximately  5,400/.  The 
Council,  he  was  sure,  would  like  to  take  advantage  of  the  occasion  to  thank 
the  City  of  Liverpool  and  the  whole  County  of  Lancaster  for  the  splendid 
reception  given  to  the  Society  in  connection  with  the  Show.  The  result 
announced  could  not  possibly  have  been  achieved  without  the  most  hearty 
co-operation  of  the  Corporation  of  Liverpool  and  the  Local  Committee — the 
Lord  Mayor  had  been  at  the  head  of  both  those  bodies — with  the  Council.  It 
was  a pleasant  task  to  the  Council  to  thank  the  Lord  Mayor  personally  for  all 
he  had  done  for  the  Society,  and  to  congratulate  him  on  the  result  of  his  efforts. 
The  President  also  expressed  his  personal  thanks  to  the  Lord  Mayor,  the 
Corporation,  Officials,  and  the  citizens  of  Liverpool.  He  also  desired  to
