PREMIUM LIST. 



The premium list was somewhat revised at last winter's meeting. 1 

 hope the premium list committee will look it over carefully and make 

 such changes as their good judgment may dictate; that each superintendent 

 will lend the committee such assistance as may make their departments 

 more efficient.

PRINTING AND ADVERTISING. 



The plan adopted for the past three years has proved so beneficial th;it 

 the plan should be continued. 



TRANS PORT AT ION. 



A\"bile transportation so far as it went was satisfactory, the traffic in 

 passengers was so much beyond the expectations of both the steam and 

 electric roads that many people were prevented from attending the last 

 exhibition. As this is a mutual benefit to both society and transport;! 

 tion companies, I dare say ample provisions will be made for the next fair. 



I would recommend the appointment of a suitable person to have 

 charge of the transportation in and out of the grounds during week of 

 the fair, assisting both exhibitors and visitors. 



EXHIBITORS' TICKETS. 



The plan adopted last year was an improvement over past years, and 

 so far as T am able to learn it was very satisfactory. 



EXHIBITS. 



The exhibits for 1901 were well up to the standard. The exhibits from 

 some of the northern counties were especially commendable, and I trust 

 the society will extend to them the most liberal treatment. 



ATTRACTIONS. 



The plan adopted for a varied class of amusements in vogue the past 

 year seems to be popular, as the grand stand receipts will verify.
