On the motion of Sir Nigel 
Kingscote, it was unanimously 
resolved. : — 
That the Secretary be authorised to receive 
nominations of new members, and to admit 
them to the privileges of membership for 
the Cambridge Meeting, on condition that 
they sign the usual contract and pay their 
subscription for the current year. 
1 Reinstated under Bye-law 12. 
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 
period ended April 28, 1894, as certi- 
fied by the Society’s Accountants, 
showed total receipts amounting to 
3,509/. 10s. 7d., and expenditure to 
3,543/. 9s. 10 d. The actual balance 
at the bankers’ on April 28, 1894, 
allowing for cheques outstanding, 
was 6,680/. 2s. Accounts amounting 
in all to 2,199/. 14s. 4 d. had been 
passed and were recommended for 
payment. The Committee recom- 
mended that Mr. Sanday and Mr. 
Ashworth be elected Stewards of 
Finance for the Cambridge Meeting. 
The Chester Agricultural College. 
Sir Nigel Kingscote said he 
might perhaps be allowed to call the 
attention of the Council to the 
announcement that they might not 
all have remarked, but which had 
appeared in The Times and other 
newspapers a short time since, to the 
effect that the Royal Agricultural 
Society of England had promised 
1,000/. towards the fund that was 
being raised to start an Agricultural 
College for Cheshire. The immediate 
result of that announcement was 
perhaps what was to be expected, 
viz. inquiries addressed to him as the 
custodian of the Society’s finances as 
to whether the Council would be 
likely to be equally generous towards 
other Colleges of the same kind. It 
was hardly necessary for him to tell 
them that the Society had not 
(indeed, could not) make grants of 
this description ; but, as he had not 
observed any contradiction of the 
statement in the daily press, he 
thought it might be desirable that 
the actual facts of the case should be 
placed before the public. The 1,000/. 
in question was not, of course, given 
by the Society, but represented the 
balance of the amount collected by 
the Chester Committee towards 
defraying the local expenses incident 
to the holding of the Society’s annual 
show at that city last June. The 
Local Committee’s accounts, when
