The Board return their thanks to our citizens
for their liberalty in aiding them, as well as for
the interest manifested for the success of the
Society. The grounds were crowded on both
days with Ladies and Gentlemen, and certainly
nocrowd ever behaved with greater decorum.
The Directors of the Society have used every
exertion to do justice to the exhibitors, doubt
less they have failed in some instances They
hope the experience now gained will enable
them for the future, to make the Fairs more
creditable to the county than they have yet been
