 ". W. King favored a fair and said D. wonld give ten nights hard work '. 'T-. the i'm terest of it.
 Charles s. Shaw favored 8 fair and said he was willing to give his time for it's success either night or day.
 B. F. Crockett favored eitherssa fair or ball and he did not care which. In either case he would use his best endeavors for it's suc- cess.
 s. D. Fairchild said he had no doubt but
 that fair might be made success if every
 member would devote his whole time and
 energy to it. He said he would do all he could for it's success, but he wanted the asso- citation to understand the amount of labor that was to be done. O19fl6S D. SuHW pI0OS6Q A4A1S0II GO NSfObO his entire time to the success of the fair, both night and day if needed. Hugh I. Finnigan said he had no doubt of the success of the fair if they proposed to give one. A motion was then made to appoint com mittee of fifteen to make arrangements for the fair. A motion to amend, making the com l mittee ten, WAS lost and the original motion prevailed. The appointment of committee of fifteen l was then commenced as follows: William | w. King, Louis Luft, Hugh I. Finnigan, James W. Shubert, Henry W. Blakeslee, Jo.
 seph Cunningham, Sterne D. Fairchild, Nor l gan Fl, Atwater, A. R. Goodenow, Colonel John G. Healey, Henry R. Wells. Several gentlemen appointed on commit l tees refused to serve and on motion of SternE D. Fairchild it was voted to indefinitely post l pone the whole matter. The association | then adjourned.
 It is probable that ball will be held at an 1 early day provided that the differences ex' isting among individual members of the as sociation can be healed. | List of Patents.
