 Amount to be received from the State 950 00 



Leaving a balance against the Fair of $900 74 



When it is taken into account that the members of the Institute, 

 with tlieir families, had tlie privilege of attending the Pair every 

 day it was open by the public, and the amount received for new 

 members admitted and arrears of dues from members paid at the 

 Fair, which together amounted to $627, a great part of which 

 might not have been collected ; it will be seen that the- loss on the 

 Exhibition is but trifling compared with the benefits it has con- 

 ferred. 



In conclusion the managers would respectfully but earnestly 

 urge upon the Institute the importance of securing a location upon 

 which a suitable building could be erected for the purpose of hold- 

 ing the Annual Exhibitions. The cost annually incurred in the 

 erection of the necessary machinery and fixtures for an Exhibition, 

 occupying at most three or four weeks, is very large, and at the 

 close, these fixtures have to be taken down and stored, or if sold 

 the sum realized is but a small proportion of their cost. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
