before passing the chair. One of his Lordship’s predecessors had been a 
Member of the Council for many years, and he had also occupied the position 
of Chairman of the Education Committee. The present Earl was Lord- 
Lieutenant of Salop ; he took the very deepest interest in the work of the 
Society, and had also been a very successful exhibitor at the Shows. His 
Lordship was a large landowner in Montgomeryshire and in Shropshire, and 
he farmed an estate within half-a-dozen miles of Shrewsbury. He had taken 
a very active part in connection with the Society’s forthcoming visit to 
Shrewsbury, being chairman of the Executive Committee, and he (Sir Bowen) 
felt sure that under his Lordship’s Presidency they would hold a show next 
year that would be worthy of that great Society and a credit to the ancient 
borough of Shrewsbury and the county of Salop. 
The motion was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously. 
Authority was given for the Seal of the Society to be affixed to the 
Diploma of Honorary Membership of the Hon. James Wilson, ex-Minister of 
Agriculture at Washington, U.S.A. 
Other business having been transacted, the Council adjourned until the 
week of the Bristol Show.
