THE SEVENTH ANNUAL FAIR. 



The Society's Seventh Annual Fair was held at Detroit, on the Jones 

 and Cass farms, between the Chicago and Grand River roads, and west 

 of Third Street, on the second, third, fourth and fifth days of October, 

 1855. The weather was mild and very pleasant excepting the last 

 day, at which time the rain fell heavily and steadily all day. 



The exhibition was extensive, and superior to former ones in nearly 

 every particular. 



Entries of stock and articles were made during Monday and Tues- 

 day, the 1st and 2d days of October. 



At 3 o'clock P. M. a meeting was called for the purpose of filling 

 vacancies in committees, and for other purposes. 



On motion of Mr. Bartlett, the motion relative to a Horse race upon 

 the Hamtramck course, which was laid upon the table last evening, was 

 taken up, and by a full vote of the board, with one exception, the 

 proposition was rejected. 



On motion, 



Resolved, That the filling of vacancies in committees be postponed 

 until to-morrow morning, at 8 o'clock. 



The Committee adjourned to 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. 



On Wednesday the 3d the Committee met at 8 o'clock A. M., and 

 filled the vacancies that occurred in the viewing committees. 



It having been stated to the Executive Committee that considerable 

 stock had been delayed upon the Michigan Southern Rail Road, and 

 unable to get to the Fair in season, it was, on motion, 



Resolved, That the examination of stock be delayed until the morn- 

 iog of the 4ih.
