Mr. Bowen-Jones handed in a 
formal nomination, in writing, signed 
by himself and Mr. Charles Howard, 
of Mr. H. P. Ryland, of Moxhull Hall, 
Erdington, Birmingham, to fill the 
vacancy on the Council caused by the 
retirement of the Duke of Portland. 
Earl Cathcart observed that he 
understood Mr. Ryland was a practical 
agriculturist, and likely to prove of 
great advantage to the Society as a 
member of Council. He thought that 
at this time it was right and proper 
that a practical agriculturist should 
be placed on the Council, in order to 
keep up that balance which they all 
desired should be maintained. 
Dairy. 
The Hon. C. T. Parker (Chairman) 
reported the settlement of a variety 
of details in connexion with the 
Cambridge Meeting, including the 
size of the dairy, the supply of milk, 
the provision of motive power, and 
the penning and feeding of poultry, 
&c. 
Miscellaneous. 
On the motion of Viscount EmlyN, 
seconded by Mr. Martin, it was re- 
solved that Sir John Thorold and Mr. 
Charles Whitehead be re-elected as 
the Society’s representatives upon the 
Lawes Agricultural Trust for a term 
of five years. 
The Secretary reported that 
thirty-two entries had been received 
for the Society’s forthcoming Senior 
Examination, to be held from the 8th 
to the 12th May next. This compared 
with thirty-seven entries last year 
(the highest total reached) and 
twenty-eight entries in 1892. 
Letters were read (1) from Professor 
Liveing, of Cambridge, thanking the 
Council for his election as an Hon- 
orary Member of the Society ; (2) 
from the Charity Commissioners, 
asking if the Council would be pre- 
pared to nominate a Governor upon 
the Sandbach School and Almshouses 
Foundation, when completed, which 
was ordered to be answered affirma- 
tively; and (3) from the Poard of 
Agriculture, announcing that an In- 
ternational Exhibition of Fruit Culture 
would be held at St. Petersburg 
from September 22 to November T2 
next, and that particulars of the 
regulations as to the taking of space 
could be obtained on application to 
the Administration de la Socifitfi de 
Culture Fruitiere, Musee Imperial 
d'Agriculture, Fontanka 10, St. 
Petersburg. 
Date of Next Meeting. 
Various letters and other docu- 
ments having been laid upon the 
table, the Council adjourned until 
Wednesday, May 2 next, at noon.
