XXXIV 
General Meeting of Governors and Members , 
Journal Committee. 
Sir John Thorold (Chairman) 
reported that the suggestion made by 
Mr. J. W. Glover at the last meeting 
of the Council that Farm Prize Com- 
petitions should again be undertaken 
by the Society had been considered 
by the Committee, but they regretted 
that they were unable to recommend 
its adoption. 
Sir John Thorold added that the 
Committee had carefully considered 
the recommendation of Mr. Glover, 
and on reference to old volumes of the 
Journal he found that in some cases 
the expenses connected with these 
competitions amounted to over 1,000?. 
a year. It was therefore impossible 
for them to recommend the Committee 
again to embark on a scheme for 
giving prizes for farms. 
Mr. Glover said he was very much 
obliged to the Committee for consider- 
ing this matter, and hoped that at some 
future time the Council might see 
their way to take the matter up again. 
In his opinion the competitions had 
done good in the past. 
Show of 1907. 
Sir John Thorold (Chairman) 
reported that a letter dated May 28, 
1906, had been received from the 
Mayor of Ipswich inviting the Society 
to hold its Show of 1907 at Ipswich. 
The Committee recommended the 
appointment of a Committee of In- 
spection, consisting of the President 
(Mr. Cornwallis), the Honorary 
Director (Sir Gilbert Greenall), the 
Chairman of the Finance Committee 
(Mr. Adeane), the Chairman of the 
Stock Prizes Committee (Mr. Reynard), 
the Chairman of the Implement Com- 
mittee (Mr. Greaves), to visit Ipswich 
and any other sites which might be 
offered before the next meeting of the 
Council. 
The President announced that 
a resolution passed by the Essex 
Agricultural Society had been handed 
in by Mr. John Barker, the Member 
of Council for Essex, asking whether 
the Royal Agricultural Society would 
consider an invitation to hold the 
Show of 1907 in the county of Essex. 
Mr. Barker explained that next year 
the Essex Society would celebrate its 
fiftieth anniversary, and were desirous 
that the Royal Agricultural Society’s 
Show for 1907 might be held in their 
county, when they would do all in 
their power to make the Show a great 
success. It was an interesting fact that 
the Essex Show was instituted fifty 
years ago on the occasion of the 
Society’s visit to Chelmsford in 1856.
