excluded. By using to the utmost 
the available space in the Showyard, 
there would only be just room to 
accommodate the number of entries 
already made. The size of the Show 
had been increasing for a considerable 
number of years past, and some 
means had to be adopted to reduce 
the amount of space required. It 
was on that account more particularly 
that the number of entries was limi- 
ted as alluded to by the Duke of 
Richmond. 
The Hon. Cecil T. Parker said 
that a glance at the plan of the Show- 
yard would show that it was abso- 
lutely impossible to get in more entries 
than had been arranged for. 
The proposed resolutions were then 
put and carried unanimously. 
Implement. 
Mr. Frankish (Chairman) re- 
ported that upwards of 13,400 feet of 
space had been applied for in the 
Implement Department of the Cam- 
bridge Meeting, and that 442 stands 
had been allotted by the Allotment 
Committee. The Committee had 
given detailed consideration to the 
arrangements for the trials of oil- 
engines, spraying machines, and 
sheep-dipping apparatus. The Con- 
sulting Engineer had reported his 
proposed arrangements for the trials 
of oil-engines, which were approved. 
It was arranged that one large tank 
of Russoline oil should be provided, 
in order that a trial of all the engines 
might be conducted with oil from 
the same reservoir. The Committee 
recommended that competitors be 
informed that their machines must 
be delivered on Monday, June 11, 
1894, and that the trials begin on 
Monday June 18, 1894. The Com- 
mittee also recommended that the 
trials of sheep-dipping apparatus 
commence on Friday, June 22, 1894, 
at 2 p.m , and that they be held at 
the farm of Mr. J. B. Ellis, Redlands, 
Lolworth, situated five and a-half 
miles from Cambridge, on the high 
road to St. Ives. 
General Cambridge. 
Sir Nigel Kingscote reported 
that preliminary consideration had 
been given to the draft programme of 
VOL. V. T. S. — 18 
the Meeting, and that it would be 
finally settled at the next meeting of 
the Committee, to be held at 4.15 p.m. 
on Tuesday, June 5 next. Applica- 
tions from various societies for 
permission to hold meetings in the 
Showyard had been granted on the 
usual conditions, the times of such 
meetings to be settled at the next 
meeting of the Committee. Various 
other details relating to the trials of 
spraying machines, the supply of gas, 
floral decorations, &c., had been 
discussed, and the Local Commit- 
tee had undertaken to make 
the necessary inquiries in regard 
thereto.

Mr. Sanday also reported that the 
classes for poultry had been distri- 
buted amongst the three Judges as

The Committee recommended that 
Mr Thomas Stirton be appointed a 
Judge of Miscellaneous Implements 
at Cambridge in place of Mr. C. Gay 
Roberts, unable to act. The Umpires, 
to act in case of necessity for the 
several classes of live stock, had also 
been selected. 
Showyard Works. 
The Hon. Cecil T. Parker 
reported that the implement shedding 
at Cambridge was complete, and that 
about 3,500 feet of horse boxes had 
been built. The grand stand, band 
stand, dairy and offices, and all of 
the pavilions were in a very forward 
state, as well as the water-mains and 
the sleeper-roads to the entrances, 
which were being laid by the Local 
Committee. Instructions had been 
given with respect to a large number 
of other details, including the ar- 
rangements for refreshments, the
