a. a. j. FIELD FIELD Auditors.
1t was stated by the secretary, on in
quiry being made by Mr.. Peet, that the
500 was sent the secretary of the Nation.
al association by vote of the executive
board. The report of the auditors was
then accepted and adopted.
Secretary Chapman moved that the
constitution be so amended as to bring
the annual meeting on the fourth We'd
nesday in January, instead of the second.
He explained that the change was desir-
able for the reason that many other bod
les hold their meetings at this time. 1t
was so voted.
Secretary Chapman wished to know
the desire of the association respecting
the publication of another volume of the
Register. and, by request, reread the rec
ommendation on that point in his report
Ii. E. Sanford of West Cornwall moved
that the secretary be instructed to pub
fish fourth volume this year, and Mr..
Bissell seconded the motion. II. S.
Brookins of Richvile asked what the
extra expense to members would be.
Mr.. Chapman answered that the cash on
hand and the membership fees would
pay the cost. An edition of 1000 copies
would probably be sufficient. The sec
rotary said, in reply to questions by Ed
gar Sanford of West Cornwall, L. w.
Peet of Cornwall and II. G. Hubbard of
Orwell, that cloth binding would not
cost over ten cents volume less than
leather; it was impossible to tell the
length of time necessary to get out the
book, but the books were more nearly up
to date then for several years; it was for
the executive board to decide how far
down the new volume should come; he
did not agree with Mr.. Hubbard that it
was not a very big job to get out the
book. Mr.. Sanford's motion was carried.
The next business was the election of
officers. These were chosen: President,
II. 5. Jackman of Waltham; vice-presi-
dents, John II. Mead of West Rutland
and f. Z. Stickney of East Shoreham
secretary, Albert Chapman of Middle
bury treasurer, Virtulon Rich of Rich
vile: directors, ii. f. Sanford of West
Cornwall, Cyrus II. Smith of Brid-
port, c. p. Crane of Bridport, c. A.
Chapman of Ferrisburgh; pedigree COM
mttee, j. j. Crane of Bridport, ii. 5.
Brookins of Richville, W. r. Remele of
Middlebury. F. II. harrington was chos-
en- first director, but declined to serve
and Mr.. Chapman was chosen in his
stead. +. y. Bissell and G. Z. Crane
were nominated for second director, but
at Mr.. Bissell's request his name was
withdrawn. II. G. Hubbard was nom
mated for place on the board, but with
drew. The other officers were elected
without opposing nominations.
On motion of f. Kendall of Middle
bury the salary of the secretary was
fixed at $1,000. Mr.. Chapman thanked
the association for its action and briefly
pointed out misstatements made by the
Shropshire association. which claims
more than the facts warrant.
Edgar Sanford SAID he understood some
of the members did not keep flock rec
ords, and If this was the case they were
not living up to the rules. Further re-
marks on the same topic were made by
Judge Crane, c. A. Chapman, Mr.. Brook
ms and Secretary Chapman. The latter
said that every breeder ought to be able
to give individual pedigrees of his sheep.
Mr.. Sanford urged that pedigrees of ewes
be put in the Register, but Secretary Chap
man thought the time had hardly come for
doing it. &. A. Chapman moved that in
dividual pedigrees be published in the
next volume where owners would pay
the extra cost. 1t was finally voted, on
motion of Mr.. Bissell, that members
should be granted the privilege of print
ing, in distinct department of the next
volume, individual pedigrees of their
sheep, on condition that they pay FIVE
cents line for the space occupied and
prepare their own manuscript of the ped,
igrees.
On motion of l.. 5. Burwell the execu-
tive board were instructed to expend not
over 5000 for clerk hire the current year
provided that in their Judgment such ex-
penditure is necessary in order to insure
the printing of the new volume within
the year.
Secretary Chapman emphasized tn,
need of promptitude on the part of those
who wish individual pedigrees inserted
and also the Importance of making the
list of stock rams as large as possible.
The meeting then, at few minutes
past noon, adjourned.
ACTION OF THE EXECUTIVE ROARD.

day afternoon, decided that no sheep no
entered for record prior to Jan. l, 1891
could go into the new volume. The limi
Of time for handing in the manuscript o
