HERKIMER. 



Report of the Secretary.. 



The annual fair and cattle show of the society was held on the 

 2Sth and 29th days of September, 1852, at the village of Herki= 

 mer. The attendance was larger than at any previous meeting of 

 the society. The first day was devoted to the entering and ar- 

 ranging of stock and articles for competition for premiums, and 

 although the weather was very bad with a cold rain, rendering it 

 almost impossible to attend to the necessary duties on the ground, 

 the entry of stock, agricultural and mechanical implements, do- 

 mestic and household manufactures, fruits, grains and vegetables, 

 and fancy articles of all descriptions, far exceeded anything of 

 the kind ever witnessed in this county.
