of Mr.. Mullen, as an exhibitor, at the

Der of premiums which had been a.
warded him were paid over to other ex-

the following resolution was adopted
unanimously:
Resolved, that the full amount of the
premiums awarded Mr.. Mullen at the
last annual fair of this society and SUBJ
sequently paid to other exhibitors be
now allowed and an order drawn on
the treasury payable to Mr.. Mullen.

fed with the action which had been
taken by the society in righting the
wrong, and that he would turn back
into the treasury the full amount,
$4,000, allowed him by the foregoing
resolution. Mr.. Mullen's remarks
were received with approval.
Notice having been given at the De-
cember meeting of an amendment to
the bylaws of the society, changing
the annual dues of members from so
cents to $1,O0. SO as to comply with
the State law, the matter was taken up
and disposed Of by making the propos-
ed change.
| At this juncture Mr.. Heideman re-
ported that, with the intention of MAX
ing the coming exhibition of the socie-
ty worthy the name of an agricultural

correspondence with. the Cosgrove Live

rington, of Rochester, Mr.. G. r. Case.

two or more instances he had received
