Mr. Frankish (Chairman) reported 
that various letters had been read from 
competitors in the several competi- 
tions at the Cambridge Meeting, and 
instructions thereon given to the 
Secretary. The question as to the 
advisability of admitting the public 
to view the trials of oil-engines at 
Cambridge had been considered, and 
the Committee recommended that no 
one be admitted to the trials of oil- 
engines except those who were directly 
interested in the engines competing, 
and the Judges and officials of the 
Society. 
General Cambridge. 
The Earl of Feversham reported

Bedin, of Trinity Street ; and Mr. 
W. P. Spalding, of 43 Sidney Street, 
Cambridge, be appointed agents for 
the sale of season tickets for the 
Cambridge Meeting. The question of 
the issue of tickets on the shilling 
days in large quantities at reduced 
rates had been considered, and the 
Committee recommended that bona 
fide employers of labour be allowed 
tickets at the rate of 1 1. for twenty- 
five, not less than 100 to be taken.
