The committee on fairs regret that the iinanca
condition of the society is such that they cou
not offer more liberal and greater variety OF premi

ty and justice to oler such list as the societ,
will be able to pay, we therefore submit the fore

preaching when the Union Agricultural Societ,
E Of Northern Illinois will be behind few, if an,
other agricultural society in the United States il
