Arrangements had been made for an address at 2 P. M., second 

 day, but from some unexplrfined reason the Society was disap- 

 pointed in this respect. With this exception the programme wa^e 

 satisfactorily carried out. 



Formerly we had but two days' exhibition ; but for the last four 

 years another day has been added and set apart for the exhibi- 

 tion of trotting-horses, not for premiums offered by the society, 

 but for suras made up from the receipts at the gate for that day, 

 the profits of which ($300 this j^ear) goes into treasury for the 

 benefit of the society. By adopting this method we have no 

 horse-trotting the first two days to interfere with or detract from 

 the cause of agriculture, horticulture and the mechanic arts, which 

 we strive to promote. 



Amount of premiums offered, $775; amount awarded, $420.
