owing to the protracted nature of 
their proceedings thatday, he thought 
it would be preferable to reserve a 
decision as to the recommendation of 
the Education Committee until the 
next meeting. He claimed, there- 
fore, under Bye-Law 2G, that the 
sense of the meeting should be taken 
as to whether the question should 
be postponed until the December 
Council. 
After a discussion in which Mr. 
Foster, LordMoRETON, Mr. Martin, 
and others took part, it was decided 
on a division, by 12 votes to 4, to ad- 
journ the debate until December ; 
and it was agreed that the Education 
Committee’s report on the subject 
should then, as postponed business, 
take precedence of the reports of other 
Committees (see page clxxix). 
Lord Moreton (Chairman of the 
Education Committee) said that as 
the recommendations of the Commit- 
tee on this subject would be circulated 
amongst the Council before the De- 
cember meeting, he would confine 
himself to dealing with the other 
parts of the Committee’s report. A 
total of thirty-five candidates from 
nine schools had been entered for the 
Society’s Junior Examination to take 
place next week. The ten pupils who 
won the Junior Scholarships last year 
having now complied with the So- 
ciety’s regulations, the Committee 
recommended the payment of the 
Scholarships and the despatch of the 
certificates. The Committee recom- 
mended that the next Senior Ex- 
amination be held from May 7 to 
11, 1895. A communication had 
been received from the Charity Com- 
missioners, asking whether the So- 
ciety would be prepared to appoint a 
representative Governor on the foun- 
dation at Egham known as Henry 
Strode’s Charity, and the Committee 
recommended that the Secretary be 
authorised to reply in the affirmative. 
The Committee gave notice that at 
their next meeting they would move 
for the renewal of their annual grant 
of 500 1. 
Dairy. 
The Hon. Cecil T. Parker (Chair- 
man) reported that the Committee 
had agreed upon a preliminary sche- 
dule of prizes for dairy cattle, poultry, 
and dairy produce in connection with 
the Darlington Meeting of 1895, 
which it was proposed to include in 
the draft prize-sheet to be settled next 
month. The Committee recommended 
the acceptance of prizes offered by 
the Local Committee in the butter- 
making competitions, and tor dairy 
cattle, cheese, and butter, subject to 
arrangement of details. A resolution 
from the Eastern Counties Dairy Far- 
mers’ Society, as to the sale of sepa- 
rated milk as whole milk, had been 
read, but the Committee did not re- 
commend any present action in regard 
to it. 
The Committee gave notice that at 
their next meeting they would move 
for a renewal of their annual grant of 
1007. 
Miscellaneous. 
An invitation to the Society to hold 
its Country Meeting of 1897 at Cardiff 
was read, and the thanks of the So- 
ciety ordered to be sent therefor, the 
invitation to be further considered 
when the district for the 1897 Show 
was formally resolved upon next year. 
Various letters and other documents 
having been laid upon the table, the 
Council adjourned until Wednesday, 
December 12, 1894, at noon.
