tors without any dissention consented to continue in exhibition one 

 day beyond the period fixed for the close of the Fair, that the pro- 

 ceeds might be given in token of their regret to the unfortunate suf- 

 ferer. 

 The gross proceeds of the day's exhibition, by sales of 



tickets and contributions, were $724 25 



Messrs. French & Heiser, proprietors of Castle Garden, 



generously contributed the amount of rent for one day, 75 00 



Mr. G. M. Snow kindly obtained from citizens, not able 



to attend the Fair, 100 00 



The manao-ers voted from the proceeds of sales of lum- 

 ber at the close of the Fair, 100 75 



Making a total of $1,000 00 



This sura was placed in the hands of Myndert Van Schaick, John 

 Campbell, and Shepherd Knapp, Esquires, as trustees to be invested 

 for the benefit of the child, so that she might receive it at the age 

 of 21 years. 



Those gentlemen have cheerfully accepted the trust, and made a 

 satisfactory investment of the money, as will appear by their state- 

 ment. 



We most earnestly recommend to the managers of succeeding 

 Fairs the necessity of placing all the machines by which visitors, 

 and particularly children, are at all liable to be injured, in an inclo- 

 sure and under the constant supervision of one person during the 

 whole exhibition. 



The continued favors and attentions which the Institute receives 

 from the officers of the army and navy of the United States, deserves 

 our warmest thanks. We earnestly solicit its continuance, for 

 through it we have dispensed much valuable information to our fel- 

 low citizens with the distribution of seeds and foreign plants that 

 we hope ultimately vpill prove of great importance. 



To the proprietors of the Long Island rail road and of the Har- 

 lem rail road our thanks are due for the facilities cheerfully afforded 

 by them, in reaching with our plows and implements the place de- 

 signated for the testing of plows and spading match. 



To the many friends who have generously aided us we tender our 



sincere thanks. 



ADONIRAM CHANDLER, 



Chairman of the Board of Managers.
