222 TRANSACTIONS OF THE ILLINOIS 



Dr. Hull — I think a condition ought to be inserted. I think the 

 payment of a dollar to the State Agricultural Society constitutes 

 membership, and also admits them to the grounds. Now, the pay- 

 ment of our membership ought to admit us. 



Mr. JFlagg — Is there any membership of the Agricultural Society ? 



Mr. Daggy — There is not any. 



Mr. Flagg — I would accept an amendment in that direction. 



An additional resolution was then added. 



Mr. Emery — I do not see that a man's being a member of one 

 society should constitute him a member of another society. 



The President — As the chair understands this question, there has 

 been one motion made first, and then an amendment, and then there 

 must be a vote made on the amendment. 



Mr. Flagg — I will not accept the amendment, but let the Society 

 vote on it separately. 



The question then being on the adoption of the amendment, it was 

 lost. ■ 



The question then being on the original resolutions, they were 

 adopted. 



On motion of Mr. Flagg, the meeting adjourned until to-morrow 

 morning. 



FOUETH DAY— MORNmG SESSION. 



The Society met at 9 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment. President 

 McWhorter in the chair. 



The proceedings were opened with prayer by the Eev. Mr. Lewis. 



SPECIAL ORDER. 



The special order being the resolution of Mr. Shepherd, it was 

 called up. 



The President — It will be necessary to hurry things through, and 

 we should only devote about fifteen minutes to that subject.
