The Secretary said there had been no meeting of 
directors since these resignations had been sent in, and 
therefore by direction of the Vice President he had 
brought them before the General Meeting. 
Mr. Darnell Davis thought Mr. Russell, who had spent 
his money and his valuable time freely upon the Society, 
deserved complimentary recognition of his services, and 
suggested his election as an Honorary member. 
Mr. Foreman and Archdeacon Austin suggested that 
Mr. Russell be asked first to reconsider his decision. 
On the Chairman's suggestion the matter was left to 
be dealt with by the directors. 
The following notices of motion were given : — 
By Archdeacon Austin : — 
That the Directors of the Royal Agricultural and Commercial Society 
be requested to take steps to have the rooms opened on each evening of 
the week, except Sunday, between the hours of 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. 
By Mr. Darnell Davis :— 
To move at the next general meeting, for the names of any members 
of the Book Committee who have not attended a single meeting of that 
Committee from their first appointment to the present time. 
On the suggestion of the Secretary this notice was 
subsequently altered to extend over a period of two 
years only. 
By Revd. J. Foreman : —
