xxxviii General Meeting of Governors and Members , 
“ That the Society’s Show be held at 
Park Royal in 1905, on the present 
subscriptions and guarantees, and any 
further subscriptions and guarantees 
that may be obtained.” This resolu- 
tion was declared by the President 
to be carried by sixteen votes to eleven. 
On the motion of Col. Curtis- 
Hayward, seconded by the Rev. D. 
B. Montefiore, it was resolved to 
thank the Great Western Railway 
Company for their letter, and to state 
that the offer it contained would 
receive further consideration should 
the necessity arise. 
Date of Show of 1905. 
Sir Nigel King-scote then moved, 
pursuant to notice, Mr. Sanday 
seconded, and it was unanimously 
resolved : “ That the Show of 1905 be 
fixed for the period which has been 
customary for the last fifteen years — 
i.e., the week after Ascot — and that 
the Show be accordingly held at Park 
Royal on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs- 
day, and Friday, June 27 to BO, 1905.” 
Stock Prizes Committee. 
Mr. Sanday (Chairman) reported 
that in view of the understanding that 
the Show of 1905 (if held) was to be 
on the same general lines as the Show 
of 1901, the Committee had drawn 
up a prize sheet for this year, based 
generally upon that of 1901, with cer- 
tain modifications which had arisen 
out of the discussions of the previous 
autumn, and out of the suggestions 
which had been referred by the 
Council to the Committee for their 
consideration. The draft prize sheet, 
as proposed by the Committee, would 
be circulated amongst the Council 
with the agenda paper for the next 
Council meeting, to be held on 
February 1, on which occasion he 
would bring up a formal motion for 
its adoption by the Council. 
Mr. Ralph Palmer said he under- 
stood the Stock Prizes Committee had 
accepted the suggestion made on 
behalf of one particular breed that 
the ages should be calculated from 
December 1, instead of from January 
1 as in all other breeds of cattle. He 
thought this alteration was open to 
objection, and he proposed therefore 
to take the views of the Council on 
the subject when the Committee’s 
draft prize sheet was submitted for 
the Council’s approval next month. 
Special Charter Committee. 
The President announced that, 
although the Special Charter Com- 
mittee had no formal recommendations 
to present on that occasion, he might 
mention for the information of the 
Council that the Committee had 
unanimously decided in favour of the 
principle of making each county a 
separate division returning at least 
one ordinary Member of the Council, 
with two Members for a county com- 
prising 300 Members, and an extra 
Member for every additional 200 
Members. The Members of Council 
so appointed would hold office for 
three years ; so that there would be a 
triennial general election.
