Summer Show had taken in this matter, and also the County Committee of Agriculture who had allocated the Grant to the Summer Show instead of the Autumn Show.

Second Day Horses should take place on the second day of the Summer Show, and he would like to hear the views of the members on same.

Mullins re judging of Children’s Ponies be judged on the second morning
Three-year-olds & of the Show, as this would be an added attraction for
Children’s Ponies the second day’s programme. After discussing the matter, it was agreed to refer proposed Sale of Hunters to a Meeting of the Show Committee. On the motion of Mr. D.
