The Committee resumed its session this morning. President Chamberlain

President Chamberlain, Messrs. Hanford, Ball, Lessiter, Cobb, Sharp, 

 Hyde, Reed, Burrington, Wood, Shoemaker, J. P., Angel, Howard, Young,

The report on Farm Implements was presented by Superintendent C. W. 

 Young, as follows : 



DIVISION I— FARM IMPLEMENTS. 



To the Members of the Executive Committee of the Michigan State Agricultural Society : 



Gentlemen — In Division I, Farm Implements, there were 393 entries, as reported by 

 the Secretary, but owing to the lateness of many manufacturers getting on the grounds 

 with their goods, the number must have been very much increased — fully doubled or 

 more. 



The exhibition was the largest in the history of the Society, and very creditable to the 

 manufacturers and to our Society also. 



We have no recommendations to oiler, but sincerely hope the present migratory sys- 

 tem may be discontinued and a permanent location provided. 



It is the universal expression of the exhibitors in this department that if a permanent 

 location were made they would gladly erect, at their own expense, permanent buildings 

 for their several exhibits, thereby doing away with the many inconveniences of the tem- 

 porary assignment of space.

 Report accepted and referred. 



The report on Manufactures was read by the Secretary as follows: 

 To the President and Executive Committee of the Michigan State Agricultural Society •' 



The undersigned. Superintendent of Exposition Hall, containing the several depart- 

 ments of Fine Arts, Music, Needle Work, Children's Department, and General Manu- 

 factures, respectfully makes the following report, viz. : The hall was in fair order, with 

 the exception of the roof, which was leaky and made considerable trouble and some 

 damage to goods, but through the affability of the exhibitors generally and extra care 

 of the watchman and general disposition to make the best of the situation there is no 

 claim for damages, but it will be indispensable to have a new roof on the haU before
