As already announced, the next territorial county for which claims are invited for the Silver Medal is
DEVONSHIRE,
and applications, on the special form, must be received on or before February 28th, 1899. We may add that Kent is the following county selected, the date-limit for claims in that case being March 30th, 1899. This county, in its turn, will be followed by the territorial county of Cheshire, for which the date will be one month later—viz. April 30th, 1899.
The names of members recently enrolled will be found in our advertisement pages.
