The Secretary having read the 
Bye-Law governing the transaction of 
business at the anniversary meetings, 
the Hon. Atholl Liddell said he 
had great pleasure in moving “ That 
His Grace the Duke of Westminster, 
K.G., be elected President of the 
Society for the year ensuing the War- 
wick Meeting.” 
Sir Henry Simfson seconded, say- 
ing that his Grace was so well known 
for his exertions in the cause of agri- 
culture and horse-breeding — in fact, 
for everything that promoted the good 
of the country — that he felt sure the 
resolution would be received with that 
cordiality which it deserved. 
The motion having been carried 
by acclamation. 
The Duke of Westminster said he 
was extremely obliged for the honour 
which had been conferred upon him 
in his election as President of the So- 
ciety. It could not be for past services, 
but chiefly on account of their having 
decided on Chester as the place of 
Meeting for next year. Nothing should 
be wanting on his part to make that 
Meeting as successful as they hoped 
it would be. Sir Henry Simpson had 
alluded to his efforts in the depart- 
ment of horse-breeding, which, he was 
bound to say, had chiefly been in the 
direction of thoroughbred horse- 
breeding, and with partial success. 
He only regretted that his efforts in 
the direction of Shire horse-breeding 
bad been thoroughly rmsuccessful,
