Mr.. CLARK offered the following;
Rred That the amendment to the Cons iuton proposed
BY Nj Stevens at the l.. Annual Meeting be adopted TO 'se
The following is Mr.. Stevsnss proposed amend
ment:
That lOcsiOn of the Aunu,l Fair. be made permanent
or for term CT years. a. one or more places
Mr.. VIELE moved TO lay the resolution on the table
Lost
Mr.. BrRRoUeHs moved to postpone the consdera-
ton Of this question till this evening.
Mr.. GEDDEs thought this was the time 10 decide
this question. II should be acted now, and not be
left TO the Executive Committee to fix the place for
holding the Fair. Mr. Il. referred ~ tie oV"ss-'~,
which proyided that the Executive Committee should
locate the Fairs and vet the Society had always taken
mi. mower from the Executive Committee and given
I, IN Select Committee. He, therefore, thought the
place should be fixed before the officers, including
the Executive Committee, should be elected for the
coming year.
A debate sprang up in which Messrs. CoSGER,
RANDALL, PETERS, MoRRIs, Judge CHEEVER, But
TIRFIILp, WILLIAMS, CLARK, BURROUGHS, and OH
| CTS participated.
Mr.. R.spAIL moved that the words " after the
vesr 1859 be stricken out having reference to fix
ing the permanent location Of the Annual Fair.
Mr.. BrrTERrlrLp moved that the Executive CON-
mttee locate the Fair at some place for term not
exceeding three years.
Mr.. CosGER was in favor Of locating the Fair for
this wear before the election Of officers but preferred
10 postpone the discussion permanent location FOR
| the present.
Mr. RANDALL moved to strike on. the words " az
ter the wear 1856 with reference to the LOCALITY oil
the Fair.
Mr.. PETERS thought it would be better to leave the
resolution as il was nasmuch as trial might De maze
and the fact ascertained where was the best place 70
make the permanent location. He was In favor OF
permanent location, and would divide the State INTO
distrcts making central locations, to be used al OH
ferent times. BY this means the great work which
the Society was engaged in would be spread over
| greater surface.
Mr.. MORN. was in favor Of the resolution offered
by Mr.. CLARK, with the amendment proposed by Mr.
Randall
Judge CngE,ER said the Society had hitherto per-
ambula,ed the State. The southern tier OF counties
wanted the Fair among them. 1t had never been
held there, and it was, perhaps proper to 60 there
once and asce tan the fact whether it was prohaole
or not lie thought therefore, that the Society SHOULD
once mcre designate the place and then h1 the place
permanently.
Mr.. Br1IERrIELp said the subject Of locating the
Fair permanently had been discussed at several pre-
yous meetings and if it was not now Settled it would
come up again next wear. He moved as substitute,
that the Executive Committee locate the State Fair al
come place for term not exceeding three years
Mr.. WILLIAMS asked if the Executive Com nit'ee
were better able to locate this Far than the Society
This WAS the effect of the resolution. He was opposed
TO a permanent location, as he believed 1t would
operate as a check upon the usual competition mani
tested and be hurtfu to the interests OF the society
Mr.. CLARK accepted the smerdmen. proposed oy
Mr. Randall.
Mr.. BuRRouoHs spoke at some length against
permanent location OF the Fair.
Alter some further discussion Mr.. WILLIAMS moved
the previous question, which was on Mr.. Clark fe
solution. that the Annual Fairs be located permanent
ly after tho present Fair.
