AVe have made improvements to our grotmds the present year as follows : 

 1,000 feet in length of sheds, making 200 stalls and pens for cattle, sheep, and 

 swine. These have been built in the most substantial manner, with shingle 

 roof and well painted. These, with former ones built, make a perfect outfit 

 for our stock. We have in addition built a hall 30 feet square of fine architec- 

 ture for the convenience and comfort of ladies visiting the fair. This is divided 

 in two rooms, in one of which is every convenience for the toilet. 



These improvements have cost us $3,400.00. This leaves us in debt about 

 $2,500.00. 



The officers for the ensuing year are as follows : 



President — Daniel Timmes, Moscow. 

 Vice President — Frank Fowler, Reading. 

 Secretary— F. M. Hollowaj-, Hillsdale. 

 Treasurer — Chas. H. Winchester, Allen. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



Hillsdale, December 31, 1876. 



F. M. HOLLOWAY, Secretary.
