obligation and thanks to the many ladies and gentle- 
men who undertook special duties in connexion with 
the Show, as well as to the various firms, corpora- 
tions and individuals who by granting special privileges 
and by loan and gift of material, so greatly contributed 
to the success of the undertaking. 
Mr, Hill said he thought it would be advisable to 
charge a small entrance fee, which would not only help 
to meet the increasing expenditure of the Shows, but 
would also tend to keep out exhibits that were quite 
inferior. 
The President said the suggestion might be considered 
by the Committee appointed to deal with next year's 
Show. 
The President gave notice of the following motion on 
behalf of the Dire6lors to amend Rules i and 2, Schedule 
B, and Rule 6, Schedule C, as pernotice attached,

Mf. Davis, the words " till dusk" in Schedule B, rule 2, 
were changed to " 6 p.m."
