YORK COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Secretary's Report. 



Herewith I hand you the statement of the "financial condition 

 and doings of the York County Agricultural Society, for the year 

 ending Dec. 2d, 1863 : 



Financially, the year has been a very successful one. The 

 weather at the time of the Fair was admirable, and much of the 

 success of the Fair was owing to this fact, a great numjber of peo- 

 ple being in constant attendance throughout the several days of 

 the Fair. 



The show of fruit was smaller in amount than last year, as was 

 also that of vegetables and grain ; but the quality of that shown 

 ranked high, much of it. 



The show of stock on the grounds was better than for several 

 years, perhaps better than any former exhibition of the Society. 

 Among the most noteworthy on exhibition was the Ayrshire stock 

 of Messrs. Dane and Lord of Kennebunk, and McKenney of Bid- 

 deford ; the Devons of Mr. Perkins of Kennebunk, and the sheep 

 of Mr. Jordan. 



Yours respectfully, 



John Hanscom, Secretary.
