Treasurer, 
The meeting was then addressed by Prof. Williams, Mr. Hunting, 
Mr. Rushall, Mr. Whittle, and others ; after which the following 
resolution was proposed by Prof. Williams and seconded by Mr. 
Rushall: “That one more application be made to those gentlemen 
whose subscriptions are in arrear, and that, if not responded to in 
the course of one month from the date of application, their 
names be erased from the list of members.”—Carried unanimously. 
The President gave notice that at the next meeting he would move 
an alteration of Rule II, as far as regards livery stables and 
repositories. 
Mr. C. Hunting intimated his readiness to become one of the 
acceptors of the President’s challenge for £10, and his name was 
accordingly added to the list. 
Since then the name of the Hon. Montague Alostyn has also been 
added, so that we are now only one short of the number. 
It was unanimously agreed that the next meeting of this Society 
be held in Edinburgh. 
After a cordial vote of thanks to the President for his able address 
and his services in chair, the meeting terminated.
