ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY. 
State Agricultural Rooms, 
Madison , Dec. 12, 1860. 
As provided in the Constitution, and pursuant to a published 
notice thereof, the Fourth Annual meeting of the Society was 
held in these Rooms, December 12th, at 3 o'clock, P. M. 
President Ilinkley in the chair. 
The Treasurer’s Annual Report was presented by the Exec¬ 
utive Committee, with full detail of particulars and vouchers, 
and, on motion of W. R. Taylor, was unanimously approved 
by the Society, and the Secretary was instructed to publish 
the same in the next volume of Transactions, with as much 
detail as the interests of the Society may seem to require, and 
the limits of space in the said volume justify. 
The Secretary submitted a further statement of the esti¬ 
mated value of the property of the Society, and the advan¬ 
tages that must accrue to the Treasury in the year 1861, by 
reason of the preparations for the Eleventh Annual Exhibi¬ 
tion being already made, and on account of the large receipts 
that will be derived from the sales of lumber and other mate¬ 
rials after said Exhibition shall have closed; also of rents to 
the amount of $225, due from responsible parties, but not yet 
paid into the Treasury. 
After some informal discussion of various plans for the pro¬ 
motion of the industrial interests of the State and of the Society, 
on motion, the meeting adjourned sine die. 
J. W. Hoyt, Secretary .
