MEETING FOR THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS. 
City Hall, Milwaukee, Sept. 26, 1872. 
In accordance with the requirement of article 5 of the consti¬ 
tution of the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society for the elec¬ 
tion of officers, notice of which had been given by the secretary 
in the official list of premiums, and in the general programme of 
the exhibition, a large number of life members met at the City 
Hall at 8 o’clock P. M., to elect officers of the society for the year 
1873. President Hinkley in the chair. 
The President, after calling the meeting to order, stated that 
this was the annual meeting for the election of officers, and de¬ 
sired to know their pleasure relative thereto. 
Wm. T. Leitch, of Madison, moved that a committee, consist¬ 
ing of one from the state at large, and one from each congressional 
district, be appointed by the chair to recommend candidates for 
officers of the society for the ensuing year. 
The motion was seconded and adopted, and the Chair appointed, 
from the state at large, H. L. Palmer, of Milwaukee.

In the absence of the committee, Secretary Field made brief re¬ 
marks relative to the financial condition of the society, and stated 
that it had been customary to have the treasurer’s report for the 
last fiscal year read at this meeting, but that under a resolution of 
the society at its annual meeting one year ago, the treasurer’s re¬ 
port had been printed and sent to each member of the society, 
hence the same necessity did not exist, but if the society desired 
to hear the report, it would then be read.
