Your annual Fair, so far as being an exhibition of the prod- 

 ucts of the farm and the fireside, was very successful ; and had 

 the mornings of the two last days dawned with favorable 

 probabilities, or, better still, with favorable realities, no doubt 

 it would have been financicilly successful. A universal feeling 

 of satisfaction appeared to pervade the company in attendance, 

 and that is worth more to the future prosperity of the Society 

 than a small amount in the treasury. At a meeting of the 

 Directors previous to the Fair, a vote was passed offering 

 premiums on trotting horses. This was done against the 

 earnest protest, both spoken and written, of a minority. At 

 the annual meeting the action of the majority was endorsed 

 by the Society, in offering a small amount for the same pur- 

 pose. We hope that those now in the minority will submit 

 gracefully to the v/ill of the majority, that their interest may 

 remain unabated, and that peace and harmony may reign 

 within the Society in the future as in the past. 



For premiums offered, see premium lists, which will be 

 posted in conspicuous places in Marshfield and neighboring 

 towns in April or May. These have been reduced somewhat, 

 too, on the score of economy.
