 exhibition room or tent, were larger than usual, and have aided 

 materially in keeping the finances of the society in a flourishing 

 condition. 



» We are gratified to be able to state that within the past few 

 years there has been a very great improvement in all the agricul- 

 tural interests of the county, and in no department of husbandry 

 has there been a more marked improvement than in the quality 

 and amount of butter and cheese made. The soil and climate of 

 the county are peculiarly well adapted for grazing and dairying. 



A very able and practical address was delivered on the second 

 day of the fair by Hon. R. P. Marvin, of Jamestown. 



The next annual fair will be held at Delanti. The officers for 

 the ensuing year are as follows : President, Chauncey Warren j 

 Secretary, Stukeley Ellsworth ; Treasurer, Royal L. Carter, and 

 24 Vice Presidents.
