Necessity compels that one side. of the roof on the hall shall be 

 newly shingled ; it has been patched and repatched until it has cost 

 nearly as much as to shingle it, and still it leaks. The best interest 

 of the society, and the presei'vation of its property, demand that this 

 should be done. 



Thanking all who have contributed to the exhibition, and rendered 

 assistance at the Fair, 



I remain, yours truly, 



Frank E. Paige, Secretary.
