50 The Journal of the Koyal 
have to report that there was not enough room to 
show the exhibits to advantage. By taking advantage 
of the shelter already in the gardens, and fitting it up 
as the Economic Section, the starches, etc., were 
saved from the drenching rain. Nevertheless, everything 
goes to show that something more is required, and it is 
suggested that, in future, the Economics be shown at a 
special Exhibition, at the Assembly Rooms, at another 
time of the year ; this would relieve the Show to some 
extent. The number of exhibits has now become so 
great, and appears to be so steadily increasing that 
something must be done. To deal properly with over 
5,000 in one day, and then check their delivery in a 
few hours, is virtually impossible. 
The Committee have to thank the Judges, the firms 
that lent tarpaulins, The Demerara Railway Company 
and Messrs. Sprostons for free freight, and the Mayor 
and Town Council for the use of the Gardens. 
I append a copy of the Financial Statement, and 
have the honour to be. 
Sir, 
Your obedient servant,

Acting Secretary

The following were elected a committee to inquire 
into the fisheries of the colony in accordance with the 
resolution passed at the previous meeting : — 
Messrs. T. S. Hargreaves, G. F. Franks, E. W. F. 
English and R. Evans. 
Mr. T. S. Hargreaves spoke of the desirability of 
reviving the evening lectures which, he thought, were of 
great importance to the interests of the Society.
