‘ Reinstatwl uiuler Bye-law 12. 
On the motion of Sir Nigel Kings- 
COTE, it was unanimously resolved: — 
That, in view of the desirable- 
ness of winding up the accounts of 
the Warwick Meeting as early as 
possible, authority be given to tbe 
President, the Chairman of the 
Finance Committee, and the Secre- 
tary, to issue during the recess 
orders on the Society’s Bankers for 
the payment of accounts connected 
with tlie Meeting, such accounts 
to have been previously submitted 
to and passed by a Steward of 
Finance. 
Journal. 
Earl Cathcart (Chairman) re- 
ported that Part II. of the current 
volume of the Journal was published 
on June 30, and issued to members 
immediately thereafter. An applica- 
tion from Dr. Fleming for permission 
to reprint Professor Brown’s article 
on Contagious Foot-rot in Sheep had 
been granted on the usual conditions. 
The Committee agreed in the recom- 
mendations of the Veterinary Com- 
mittee as to a reprint of this article, 
with additions, as a sixpenny pam- 
phlet. The Committee had approved of 
the granting of certificates to twelve 
farm servants, nominated by the 
Judges of farms at AVarwick, for 
distinguished merit in the discharge 
of their duties on the competing 
farms, and they recommended that 
each certificate be accompanied by a 
gratuity of one sovereign. The gene- 
ral question of the continuance of 
Farm Prize Competitions had been 
considered, and the Committee were 
of opinion that as these competitions 
had during the last twenty-two years 
been virtually extended all over Eng- 
land and Wales, it was desirable that 
they should now cease. They recom- 
mended, however, that a Commis- 
sioner or Commissioners be appointed 
and paid by the Society to visit 
typical farms of difEerent descriptions 
in the district in which the country 
meeting was to be held, sucli farms 
to be selected by the Local Com- 
mittee, and submitted for the appro- 
val of the Council. Various sugges- 
tions for articles and notes in the 
Journal had been considered, and the 
arrangements for the next number of 
the Journal settled. The thanks of
