Reports of Committees. 
lix 
trances and pavilions were nearly 
completed ; that 5,500 feet of shed- 
ding were built ; and that the grand 
stand, dairy, and refreshment rooms 
were well in hand. The Local Com- 
mittee were laying the water mains, 
and had nearly completed the level- 
ling of the yard. The Committee 
had settled the tenders for the supply 
of refreshments at Warwick. 
Selection. 
Earl Cathcaet (Chairman), in 
moving that the Duke of West- 
minster, K.G., nominated at the last 
meeting, be elected a member of the 
Council, in the room of Viscount 
Emlyn, appointed a Vice-President, 
said that a cordial letter of accept- 
ance had been received from his 
Grace in reply to the invitation sent 
to him by the Council. 
Mr. Bowen-Jones had much plea- 
sure in seconding the election of his 
Grace. The Duke of Westminster 
was a great territorial magnate in 
the neighbourhood of North Wales, 
and his selection as a member of the 
Council would be a matter of satis- 
faction to all the members in the 
Principality and in those important 
agricultural counties adjacent there- 
to. 
Education. 
Lord Moeeton (Chairman) pre- 
sented a report from the Text-book 
Sub-committee as to further issues 
of the Society’s Text-book on Agri- 
culture, and reported that arrange- 
ments had been completed for the 
translation of the book into German, 
and its publication in Berlin by the 
celebrated publisher of agricultural 
works, Herr Paul Parey. Twenty- 
eight entries had been made for the 
senior examinations to be held next 
month — the largest number of candi- 
dates yet reached. 
Dairy. 
Mr. Daeby reported that the settle- 
ment of a schedule of prizes for 
cheese at the Chester Meeting of 
1893 had been postponed, pending 
the proposals of the Local Committee 
in regard to prizes for Cheshire cheese. 
Directions were given for the reprint 
of the Society’s pamphlet on Che- 
shire cheese, the first edition of which 
had been sold out. Copies were laid 
upon the table of a Welsh edition of 
the simple rules for butter-making. 
A further letter had been received 
from the English Jersey Cattle So- 
ciety upon the subject of butter tests 
by the churn.
