In Article 1 1 of the Constitution, after “ Bees,” was inserted 
so as to read as follows: “ The object of this Association is 
the improvement and thorough dissemination of knowledge 
concerning the breeding of Poultry, Birds, Bees, Fish, and 
small animals.” 
I will add that the prospects for a first-class fair in De- 
cember next are very encouraging.. Some of the first judges 
of the country have consented to act for us. Everything 
will be done by the Association to give satisfaction to both 
exhibitors and visitors. The poultry interests are increasing 
rapidly, and are being wide-spread, and you can scarcely find 
a farmer who has not either thoroughbred or improved fowls.
