by the auctioneers under the name 
and pedigree with which he had 
entered her. The circumstances of 
the case having been fully investi- 
gated by the Committee, they re- 
commended that, as the heifer 
exhibited at the Show was not the 
animal described on the certificate of 
entry, the award of the first prize to

Second Prize of 51. to Mr. James Blyth 
for Alpha (Reserve No. and H.C.).

A letter had been read from the 
Hunters’ Improvement Society offer- 
ing medals for hunter brood mares 
under certain conditions ; but the 
Committee were unable to recom- 
mend the acceptance of the offer. 
Several cases of infringement of the 
regulations by stock exhibitors’ 
servants had been reported by the 
Stewards, and the Committee advised 
that the fines imposed by the Stewards 
be enforced. The Committee had 
made progress with the draft prize- 
sheet for the Chester Meeting, and 
would give further consideration to 
it when the proposals for local prizes 
to be made by the Local Committee 
were before them. Various letters 
as to exhibits of live stock at the 
Warwick Meeting had been read, and 
directions given thereon. 
Implement. 
Mr. Frankish (Chairman) pre- 
sented the recommendation of the 
Committee that a prize of 20Z. be 
offered in connection with the Chester 
Meeting for the best sheep-shearing 
machine worked by power. The 
Committee had considered the re- 
commendation of the Judges of 
miscellaneous implements at Warwick 
for competitive trials of petroleum 
engines and “ hay-kickers.” As it 
had already been decided to have 
trials of sheaf-binders, and also of 
sheep-shearing machines, at the 
Chester Meeting of 1893, the Com- 
mittee felt that no fm-ther trials of 
implements could be undertaken for 
next year, but they recommended 
that the question of trials of oil 
engines and hay-kickers should re- 
ceive first consideration when the 
arrangements were being discussed 
for the Meeting of 1894. The Com- 
mittee had considered an application 
from Mr. Frank Proctor as to his 
steam digger, and recommended that 
no further facilities be given him in 
connection with it. The Committee 
had considered the case of a firm of 
exhibitors who had been reported for 
the infringement of No. 58 of the 
Implement Regulations by nailing 
their signs with large nails through 
the canvas, and recommended that 
payment of the fine and damage be 
pressed for.

Surveyor, the Hon. Claud H. Vivian,

commend that the Chester Meeting

the Implement Yard and Dairy being
