The Secretary read the report of the Traiisportatiou Committee, which was 



accepted : 



To the President and Executive Committee of the Michigan State Agricultural Society: 



Gentlemen — Your Committee on Transportation would respectfully report : 

 We made the best arrangements with the railroad companies that we could, still they 

 were not quite satisfactory. For some years our Society has been favored with better 

 railroad rates than other State Fairs have enjoyed — which made it the harder for us to 

 submit to the change. There seems to have been quite a falling off in the sale of excur- 

 sion tickets by the railroad companies. The total number sold by the M. C. R. R., G. 

 R. & I., and L. S. & M. S. was 14,531. Over half of these were sold by the IMichigan 

 Central, the balance being about equally divided between the two other roads 

 named. The amount paid for switching was $68.00 ; the expense of the Committee 

 was $16.75. We would acknowledge valuable assistance from Mr. Sprong, agent of the 

 G. R. & I. , and our Secretary during the Fair, in making the receipt and shipping of 

 stock a success, while the Chairman of the Committee was helpless at home. Mr. H. 

 H. Hinds, one of our Assistant Marshals, also rendered valuable service in getting 

 freight to and from the State Fair Station, Wishing you a pleasant meeting and 

 regretting I cannot enjoy it with you, 



I am respectfully, 



J. M. STERLING, 



Chairman.
