The Executive Committee at their meeting in June, resolved 

 to hold the annual Cattle Show and Fair at Wyocena, on the 

 22d and 23d of Sept. 



The Annual Show and Fair was well attended, and the en- 

 tries were larger than on any former occasion, we had 40 entries 

 of horses. 48 entries of Cattle, embracing a fine collection of 

 ^'blooded animals" ; 21 entries of Sheep, mostly of the French 

 and Spanish breeds — and fine ones. Mr. E. J. French exhib- 

 ited a very fine Leicester Buck, and some crosses of Leicester 

 and South Down, which were worthy of attention. The en- 

 tries of Swine were very limited. In Fruits the show was fair, 

 and some fine specimens of aj)ples, plums, Isabella grapes, and 

 cultivated cranberries, were presented. In Poultry, but one 

 entry was made, showing conclusively that the Hen fever had 

 abated. In the Dair}-^ line but few samples were entered. The 

 department of domestic manufacturers and needle work, was 

 but poorly supplied. The vegetable department was well sup- 

 plied with the best assortment of choice articles I have ever 

 seen at any county fair. 



An address was delivered in the afternoon of the second day 

 by Hon. James T. Lewis, which was well received by the per- 

 sons present. The attendance on the second day was quite large 

 and gave an assurance of better prospects for our Society than 

 has usually been seen. 



Not having access to the Treasurer's books, I am unable to 

 give a statement of the fiscal concerns of the Society. 



Very Respectfully Yours, HENRY CONVERSE, 

 Wyocena, Oct, 25. 1857. Secretary of Society,
