MEETING HELD IN THE SHOWYARD AT DERBY. 
MR. F. S. W. CORNWALLIS (PRESIDENT) IN THE CHAIR. 
Disposal of Harewood House. 
Mr. Adeane presented a detailed 
report from the Finance and House 
Committees on the progress of the 
arrangements for the disposal of Hare- 
wood House. The report recom- 
mended certain modifications in the 
provisions of the original Trust Deed 
made between the Society and the 
Trustees of Harewood House Deben- 
ture Stock on August 2, 1893. The 
present Trustees had agreed to these 
modifications on condition that any 
surplus revenue which might arise 
after payment of the debenture stock 
interest at the end of each year 
should be handed over to the Trustees 
as a further fund for the repayment of 
the stock. The Finance and House 
Committees were of the opinion that 
this condition was a reasonable one 
in the interests of the stockholders, 
and they recommended the Council to 
assent to it. They also submitted for 
the approval of the Council, a draft 
Supplemental Trust Deed embodying 
the modifications agreed upon. 
On the motion of Mr. Adeane, 
seconded by Mr. Carr, the Report of 
the Finance and House Committees 
was adopted, and the Supplemental 
Trust Deed was formally approved.

the Committee’s recommendation that 
the Directors of Park Royal, Limited, 
be requested to take the necessary steps 
to wind up the Company as soon as 
practicable after the completion of the 
sale of the estate. 
Mr. Adeane, in presenting the 
report, announced that a statement 
of accounts connected with the Derby 
Show had been prepared, from which 
it appeared that the result would be

to the Society’s contribution of 2,000k 
from Members’ subscriptions.
