w. v. McLachln of Peacham offered
the following resolution
Resolved, That we, us members of
the Caledonia agricultural society, re-
spectfully ask the Fair ground COM
pany to grant no licenses for the sale
of beer or cider on the grounds during
the fair.
This resolution was briefly discussed
by the mover, E. P. Allen and n. M.
johnson, and then voted down by
rising vote-23 to I7-some 25 not vot-
ing either way.
James Roy thought three days of
fair was enough and moved it be linn
tied to that time. The presiding Off
Ger ruled the motion ont of order as it
was the province of the executive COM
mittee to settle that question.
! After appointing meeting OF the
executive committee at the st. Johns
bury house Tuesday, Feb. 8, to revise
premium list, make appointments and
arrange for the fair next fall, the agri-
cultural society adjourned.
