sion Fairs TO make full aud detailed reports to the

Der after the Fairs. Failing in this, the Division
thus falling loses the 600 appropriation for the
next year.
III. The meeting OF the State Agricultural Bureau

tober Hext The State Fair commences on the
same day, and will continue during the whole week;
and il is desirable that the members Of the Bureau
representing the County Societies come prepared to

in the management Of the Fair, aud that the busi>
ness sessions ei the Bureau may be held at such
hours during the week AS will not conflict with the
