Meeting held June l^th. — Mr. Luke M. Hill, Presi- 
dent, in the chair. 
Members present, 7.

George W. Schloss. 
The President informed the meeting that he had 
visited the late Agricultural Show at Wakenaam, which 
he considered to have been very successful for a first 
Show. He was glad to see that these Shows were being 
held in different parts of the Colony. He was also glad 
to see that the Board of Agriculture was fostering these 
district Shows, as it had been proved by the experience 
of the Department of Agriculture in Ireland that local 
Shows were more advantageous than those in the great 
centres. He thought that a series of such Shows would 
be preferable to only one in Georgetown. 
Mr. Hargreaves moved and Mr. Garraway seconded, 
that the standing rules be suspended, to discuss the 
decision of the Directors that no Horticultural Show 
could be held during the current year. 
The President and the Hon. Mr. Garnett objected to 
the re-opening of the question, but it was put to the 
meeting, which agreed to suspend the rules.
