22 4 Report to the Annual General Meeting , 
President (Mr. Cornwallis), the Honorary Director (Sir Gilbert 
Greenall), the Stewards and other Members of Council. On 
arriving at the Royal Pavilion, His Majesty inspected the 
Crimean veterans of the Notts, and Derby Regiment, who had 
been drawn up in front of the Pavilion, under the command 
of Colonel Gascoigne, and afterwards visited the various 
departments of the Showyard. In spite of the inclement 
weather on the day of His Majesty’s visit the attendances 
were remarkable, the number of persons paying for admission 
(2s. 6d) being 25,666. 
31. The hospitality of the town and county of Derby 
was worthily sustained by the Mayor and other residents in 
the town and throughout the county. A pleasing feature of 
the Meeting was the cordial co-operation of the Members 
of the Local Committee with the Society’s officials in all their 
endeavours to make the Show of 1906 a great success. 
32. Formerly, the Showyard has been erected by the 
Society’s own officials, but on this occasion the Council decided 
to employ a contractor to carry out the work. Tenders were 
invited and the work was entrusted to Messrs. E. Wood 
& Sons, of Derby, who carried out their contract satisfactorily. 
The Council have arranged for this firm to erect the Showyard 
at Lincoln next year, at considerably reduced prices. 
33. A statement of the Receipts and Expenditure in con- 
nection with the Show will be presented to the General 
Meeting on December 12. It is estimated that the balance in 
the Society’s favour will approximate the sum of 2,00(R. 
The Council desire to congratulate the Members on the great 
success which has attended the Show on its return to the 
country, under the management of the Honorary Director, 
Sir Gilbert Greenall. 
34. Invitations for the Show of 1907 having been received 
from Ipswich and Lincoln, a Committee was appointed to 
inspect and report upon the sites and other accommodation 
offered by the two localities. Deputations from these two 
places attended the meeting of the Council on August 1 last, 
and, in each case, the Mayor tendered a very cordial invitation 
to the Society. The Council, after having considered the 
Report of the Committee, decided to hold their Sixty-Eighth 
Annual Show at Lincoln in 1907. 
35. The Show will open on the morning of Tuesday, June 
25, and close on Saturday, June 29. The prices of admission 
will be as follows : — Tuesday, June 25, Five Shillings ; 
Wednesday and Thursday, June 26 and 27, Half a Crown ; and 
Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29, One Shilling. 
36. The Prize Sheet for the Lincoln Show is now under the 
consideration of the Council, who wish to take this opportunity
