EMMET DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. 



This Associatiou organized and filed its articles of association with James 

 Cogley, President; Dr. A. J. Abbott, Secretary; James Kennedy, Treasurer ; 

 and for Directors, John Dunnigan, Wm. Power, Wm. Cogley, Wm. W. Ross 

 and Byron Parke. 



A plot of land consisting of nearly seven acres was leased for ten years and 

 fenced with close board fence, about three-fourths of it 6 feet high and the rest 

 8 feet high. 



An exhibition building was erected whose dimensions are 31x76x12, which is 

 shingle roofed and floored with hardwood planed flooring. 



Also a convenient office at the gate. Upon the grounds were erected accom- 

 modation for about thirty horses and as many cattle in divided sections which 

 are roofed with boards. Pens for swine and sheep are provided so as to accom- 

 modate a goodly number. 



A first class well with pump was provided by the association, all of which is 

 in good condition. 



There is a good four rod track for exhibition purposes on the grounds 

 stretching about one-third of a mile. With a gay flag-pole of hickory and oak 

 towering one hundred feet above it, the grounds of the Emmet District Agri- 

 cultural Association are such as its projectors may well feel proud of. 



With the exception of three d<5uations the entire funds at the command of 

 the officers were the product of the fall fair of '85. 



Of amounts received from without, Emmet Village donated the handsome 

 sum of $100. A concert in aid of the building fund netted 158.37, and from a 

 fund from a spring fair held here in 1885,. the association received about 813. 



Since the organization the association has paid 



Sundry expenses including freight $102 00 



Lumber and shingles 410 73
