At tlie annual meeting of tlie Agricultural Society, the follow- 

 ing resolutions were passed. 



Offered by S. B. Gavitt. 



Whereas, Dr. D. W. C. Van Slyck, has held the office of Presi- 

 dent of the county agricultural Society of this county for the past 

 two years, during which time it was deemed that the old organi-

 one was duly instituted and perfected; to the consummation of 

 this organization he has borne an important part, devoting his 

 time and energies for that purpose; and now that the Society has 

 gained a new and substantial basis, suitable grounds and buildings, 

 needing only a wise and systematic continuance of the pojicy

Resolved, That the thanks of this Society are due and hereby

 ner in which he has presided over its affairs; and in retiring he 

 has our best wishes for his future happiness and prosperity.
