MACOMB COUNTY. 



J, C. Holmes, Esq., Sec^y Mich. State Agricultural Society: 



The sixth annual fair of the Macomb County Agricultural Society 

 was held on the 10th and llth days of October, 1855, at Brooklyn, on 

 the plank road, between Mt. Clemens and Eomeo, being very near the 

 geographical center of the county, and although the accommodations 

 for a large attendance were not first rate, yet it appeared to make but 

 little difference, for the people turned out en masse, and we had a very 

 large gathering, and everything went off in fine style. 



The show of stock exceeded anything we have had at any previous 

 fair. There were splendid horses, Durham and Devon cattle, and 

 French and Spanish sheep exhibited. Great skill and fine taste were 

 displayed in the fine arts and domestic manufactures, which show a rapid 

 advancement since the organization of the Society. 



The annual address was delivered at one o'clock of the llth, by 

 Thomas M. McEntee, Esq., which was a beautiful, practical, and elo- 

 quent eftbrt, and well adapted to the occasion. At the close of the 

 address, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : 



Resolved, That the thanks of this Society be, and are hereby, ten- ' 

 dered to Thomas M. McEntee, Esq., for the very able and eloquent 

 address just delivered before this Society, and that he be requested' 

 to furnish a copy of the same for publication. 



The Society then proceeded to the election of its officers for the ensrU- 

 ino- year, which resulted as follows, to wit : 



President — Ira H. Butterfield. 



Secretary — Charles F. Mallory. 



Treasurer — Payne K. Leach.
