AgricUltural Fair & Cattle gMOpU.
The Annual Meeting, Cattle Show and
Fair Of the Portage County Agricultural
Society was held at Ravenna on the 2eth
and 9th days Of September, A. D. 1916,
pursuant to the provisions Of the Constitr-
tion of the Society.
The weather was fine and the number Of
persons in attendance very large. The num-
Der and quality Of the articl. IS exhibited leave:
saataoub1 ofsthe stead rsassr ef interest,"
in the several departments Of the Society.
1t is to be regretted that the Board Of Gov
eminent, Notwithstanding their excrtions,
failed in making such arrangements for the
Fair as was desirable, and consequently the
awarding committees were unable to dis
charge their duties as satisfactorily as they
otherwise might have done: it is believed,
however, that similar difficulties will in flu
ture be avoided, as the Board are employing
efficient means to provide a suitable place
for holding the Fair hereafter
