PROCEEDINGS—EXECUTIVE MEETINGS. 
113 
ent departments were discussed, the temporary importance of 
which does not warrant their inclusion in the record for publi¬ 
cation. 
The secretary reported that the entries already made out¬ 
numbered those of any former exhibition upon the correspond¬ 
ing day. Also that nearly one hundred life membership cer¬ 
tificates and tickets had been issued ; all of which evidenced a 
lively interest in the society and the exhibition soon to be in¬ 
augurated. 
The question of admitting carriages on life members 7 tickets, 
contrary to the rule heretofore enforced, was brought up and 
after considerable discussion it was decided to waive the en¬ 
forcement of said rule at this time. 
The Board then adjourned to meet each succeeding evening 
at 7 o’clock during the continuance of the fair. 
Which meetings were held accordingly.
