Sir Nigel Kingscote, in announc- 
ing the names of two gentlemen 
who had been duly nominated for 
election as Governors at the next 
meeting of the Council, said it was 
very desirable that the number of 
Governors of the Society should be 
increased, and he hoped that 
Members of Council would kindly 
use their influence in their respective 
districts to induce other noblemen 
and gentlemen to become Governors. 
The reports of the various Standing 
Committees were then presented and 
adopted as below : — 
Finance. 
Sir Nigel Kingscote (Chairman) 
reported that the accounts for the 
month ended March 31, 1894, as 
certified by the Society’s accountants, 
showed total receipts amounting to 
3,023 1. 12*. id., and expenditure to 
2.814Z. 2*. 9 d. The balance at the 
bankers’ on March 31, 1894, allowing 
for cheques outstanding, was 6,7147. 
1*. 3d. Accounts amounting in all to 
3,528 1. 4s. lOd. had been passed, and 
were recommended for payment. The 
quarterly statement of subscriptions. 
arrears, and property to March 31, 
1894, had been laid upon the table. 
The Committee recommended that 
implement exhibitors be placed on 
the same footing as stock exhibitors 
as to the privilege of exhibiting as 
members at the Cambridge Meeting, 
viz. that they must have paid at 
least two annual subscriptions as 
members of the Society, including the 
subscription for 1894 ; or (if new 
members) must have paid the sub- 
scription for the current year and for 
a year in advance. 
House. 
Sir Nigel Kingscote (Chairman) 
reported various recommendations as 
to suggested alterations and improve- 
ments in Harewood House. The 
Committee had considered the 
question of the seating accommodation 
in the new Council Chamber, and had 
given directions for the necessary 
tables and settees to be put in hand 
forthwith. 
Journal. 
Earl Cathcart (Chairman) laid 
upon the table copies of Part 1 of 
Vol. Y. of the Journal, which was in 
course of issue to members. Various 
accounts in connection with the 
number had been passed, and were 
recommended for payment. An 
application from Mr. C. F. Archibald 
for 150 extra copies of his article 
on Wild Birds had been granted on 
the usual conditions. An application 
from the Ontario Department of 
Agriculture for an exchange of publi- 
cations had been acceded to, but 
another application had been declined.

mended that the thanks of the
