Monate reeolleetioa. It was matter for ormarainia leo
that tile entries of dock at this exhibition were more
numerous than at any preceding it, showing that the
efforts of this society were appreciated by agriculturists.
While this was not one of toe most populous district'
of England, it had brought together perhaps the most
Important ex'libition of stock that bad yet graced the
meetings of this society—(applanse). It triseepeelall

were distributed over a large portion of the dietrict.
Remembering this was their second visit to Do-ci,
the Mayor sod local committtee were entitled to
especial thanks for the reception they had given them.
The situation and circumstances of the meetiog
rendered it unnecessary for him to enlarge upon toe
subject, but i.e was sore none of them would have been
satisfied if the report bad concluded without expressing
thanks which were so justly tine. He proposed that
the report be received and adopted.
Mr. J. FLOTEL H.P. seconded. He felt (anti/eta
that all the members must regard the report as emi-
nently satisfactory, first, Wawa of the happy event
to whioh the report fret alluded, for amongst all the
wonderful manifestations of feeling that wee exhibited
throughout the length and breadth of this empire, in re.
femme to the reoovery of our patron H.R. H the Panetta
Wales,ke felt that so public body took • deeper interest
in it than the one he had the honour of addreseing—
(applanae)—aast that they united most heartily with
all other subjects of our gracious Sovereign in the
thankfulness expressed by Sit John D aok worth—thank-
Mows to Almighty God for restoring HALAL to Ile
blessings of health and to their benefit and advantage.
But, aa the report well said, there was an element of
sorrow mingled with the many elements of satisfaction ;
and oongratulatioc, viz., for the good men who hal I

The implements seemed to maintain their position van
