STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



TENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 



The time fixed by the Board of Directors for the annual meeting of 

 the society was January twenty-eighth, eighteen hundred and sixty- 

 three, at two o'clock p. m., at which time a few members met at the Pa- 

 vilion, and adjourned to the twenty-fifth of February, at two o'clock 

 p. M., to await the result of the action of the Legislature in amending 

 the organic law of the society. 



On the twenty-fifth of February another meeting was convened, and 

 an adjournment had to the eleventh of March, for the same purpose. 



Sacramento, March 11th, 1863. 



Agreeably to adjournment, the members of the society convened at 

 the Pavilion at two o'clock p. M. 



The President called the meeting to order, and stated its objects to be 

 to hear and act upon the reports of the officers of the societ}^, and to 

 elect officers for the ensuing year. He understood that a new law, essen- 

 tially changing the government and Constitution of the society, had 

 passed the Legislature, but by some mishap had not received the signa- 

 ture of the Governor, but would soon be signed by him. 



A number of communications from different parties were then read, 

 and the report of the Board of Managers presented, and ordered on file. 



The Financial Secretary's annual report, and that of the Treasurer, 

 were then presented, and referred to a committee for examination; and 

 as these reports are necessary to keep up the chain of the financial his- 

 tory of the society, they are inserted in this year's transactions, the 

 transactions of eighteen hundred and sixty-two never having been pub- 

 lished.
