GENERAL COMMITTEE. Mr E. Eagle, juur., occupied the chair at a meeting of the General Committee held subsequently, when a number of apologies for absence were received. It was decided to ask Mr McHardy, of Palmerston North, to represent the Society at tho annual conference of the International Sheepbreeders' Association at Liverpool in June uext. The annual meetiug is to be hold on Thursday, April 28th. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr G. W. Dellpr for the fat wether recently sold at auction ou hehalf of the Society, aud to the buyers aud auctioneer. It was decided to recommend the incoming committee to consider the question of holding a stock sale at the Society's next show, this being considered to be iv the interests of tlie farming community aud the district. The judge's Loudon report on the cheese exhibited at the show in October was read, showing Daleheld Factory to be first, Belvedere second, and Taratahi third. It is interesting to note that at the show eight factories were bracketed for first place. As the Loudon report on the other exhibits was vague, the Natioual Dairy Association lias promised to secure a full report.

The Gisborne Farmers' Union wrote stating that a representative meeting had passed a resolution urging that the Government appoint meat-graders exercising powers similar to other produce graders.—The Society docided to rafer the matter to the annual meeting.
