The President, in his opening remarks, said, in the first place, he would 
like to express on behalf of the Society their thanks to the Agricultural Hall 
Company and the Smithfield Club for their courtesy in again allowing the 
Society to hold the meeting in that room, thus affording a great convenience 
to large numbers of Members of the Society. He had received a letter from 
Lord Middleton expressing regret at his inability to be present that day. 
Accounts. 
The first item on the agenda was the presentation of the balance-sheet, and 
the Council formally submitted the balance-sheet for the year 1912, which, 
with the statement of ordinary receipts and expenditure, was published in the 
last volume of the Journal. The Society was in a somewhat stronger financial 
position than it was a year ago, and from the accounts which all those present 
had in their hands it would be seen that the net profit to the Society on the 
Bristol Show was 3,115k, which had recouped them for the loss which, owing 
to unfortunate circumstances, was incurred at Doncaster last year. 
Report. 
It would be noticed from the Report of the Council that during the past 
year the Society had lost by death a good many of its supporters, and that 
among those were several Members and ex-Mem bers of the Council.
