On motion of Mr, Chubb, 



The report and resolutions were adopted unanimously. 



Feeling inspirited by the pleasing success of the Society's earnest 

 efforts thus far, the new board of officers felt cheered to go forward and 

 attempt on their part to advance the Society still farther on, to add to 

 it a renewed impetus that should for its eighth year make it advance 

 still more wonderfully in the cause of progress and improvement. 



A meeting of the executive committee was called November 17th, 

 and the propriety of organizing under the act of incorporation passed 

 by our last Legislatuie fully discussed, when the committee determined 

 to perfect such organization, and the Secretary ordered to draft articles 

 of association for consideration at the December meeting. A commit- 

 tee was also appointed to advertise for and receive proposals for the pur- 

 chase of show grounds for the Society's use. 



At the meeting of the committee, Dec. 27, the re-organization of the 

 Society was perfected, as will be seen by the following report of that 

 meeting, as also the receipts and disbursements of the Society for the 

 fiscal year now closed. We take the report as furnished the county 

 papers by the Secretary :
