Affected by said proxies. Whereupon
each proxy was SuOn Ornamented with
leu cent revenue stamp. This done,
the ballots were duly received BY
Messrs. Updegraf and Mcclure, and
alter counting over the vote cast It was
found that the ticket reported by the
committee had beGu adopted by a ma
Iority OF the stock represented. After nm
announcement to that effect, Mr.. Josiah
UpdegraT offered motion, by way OF
suggestion TO the new Board OF lIirec.
tors, TO the effect that a skating pond
should be prepared somewhere inside
Of Inc Fair ground enclosure. II was
Explained that such pond could be
prepared at u relatively small expense,
owing to the favorable situation OF the
ground on the west side OF the en-
closure. Our memoranda does not show
whether vote was taken upon the mo-
ton or not, but the idea seemed to meet
with no opposition upon the part Of
any present. There being no further
business before the society, the meeting
adjourned.
