FIFTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK — PART VII. 649 



The committee have expended, as nearly as they can now ascertain, the 

 sum of $322.20 for lumber, canvas, nails, labor, etc. 



Your committee have borrowed the sum of $220, and they have obligated 

 the society to refund the same immediately after the close of the exhibition; 

 and they have received the sum of $62 from the secretary of the board, which 

 he has collected from membership fees, leaving the amount of debt unpaid, 

 $48 80. 



Your committee would further report that they believe they can realize 

 from the sale of lumber and canvas, after the fair, the sum of $150, which 

 will leave the sum of $110 that the society will have to refund to your com- 

 mittee to meet the amount of indebtedness for which they are personally 

 responsible. 



The committee have also appointed a chief marshal and five assistant 

 marshals, and a number of policemen; also door, or gatekeepers, for the 

 fair. 



Your committee would recommend that the board charge an admission 

 fee, to all visitors, of twenty-five cents each day of the fair, and would 

 recommend that members of the society, and their families, except males 

 over twenty-one years, be admitted free. 



Your committee would urge upon the board the impropriety of admitting 

 any horses attached to any vehicles whatever, in the enclosure, unless it is 

 by order of the board, when the committee are to inspect horses, etc., for 

 the purpose of awarding premiums, and then they should be taken inside 

 the circle, in the fair ground. 



Your committee would report unfavorably, to the admission of carriage 

 with visitors, within the enclosure, unless the number of visitors should be 

 so few, that it would be necessary to raise money for the society, and that 

 there should be ample room for such carriates, and if admitted at all, that 

 each carriage with two horses should be charged seventy-five cents, and a 

 buggy with one horse fifty cents in addition to the usual fee of each person 

 in the carriages. 



Your committee would recommend that the female equestrianship should 

 take place on the afternoon of Thursday and Friday, at three o'clock of 

 each day, thus affording many persons an opportunity of seeing that part of 

 the fair that could not see it if it took place on one day only, and will thus 

 be a greater source of revenue to the society. 



Vouchers for the amount of money expended by your committee are 

 herewith presented . 



All of which is respectfully submitted,
