and character of buildings to be con-
structed and afterwards 10 aoVeitls

of 500 for the best plan.
1t was the general expression tnat
SIS 600 of the appropriation De nevo' Gu
| IN tho main building and that So 600 be
res erved for furnishings to the Dnlidlpg
and exterior improvements; also that
Init one wing of the building be at
tempted with the funds at command,
hut that it be constructed according to
q general plan to be decided upon, and
with q view to future additions.
THE SITE.
The board then decided to TO
plir to the Tenth Ward Square
to inspect the grounds and continue
it's deliberations. 1t was first proposed
to taee the Third South street car line,
which runs direct to the square, but
Mr.. Thomas, who is good walker, re-
marked cheerfully that it was pleasant
day and only q short distance, and pro-
posed that the board walk, PROPOSE
ton which met with more favor, per
haps, than did the one to walk oaCk
again.
As the nine sturdy gentlemen pl. dded
their way through ,he Tenth Waro,
there was quite q stir of interest mani
tested among housewives and children
in that retired and sylvan neigh bor-
hood, and many We're the Su&ges11pS
that fitted across the minds or resi-
dents as to what was going on. ore
old resident of To- facing the square
paused in his work OF dipping Mp wafer

attention Of the boa d TO a rusty ana
weather-worn pillow Ga r'lic OF the
lamented Winn's foolhardineSs), and to
ask it they (tho board) were engaged IN
the jumping bus ness.
IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENTS.
On motion of Mr.. Thomas, the presi-
dent was authorized and directed to
have the ground prepared and seeded
down with grass.
On motion of Mr.. Armstrong. the
president was authorized and directed
10 have a close board fence, seven feet
high, constructed all the way around
the square.
WORKING COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Thomas moved that there be an
executive committee of three to assist
and act with the pres dent in making
necessary improvements to the grounds.
Carried.
Messrs. Thomas, Armstrong and
Weller were named as the committee
by the chair.
The meeting then adjourned, subject
to the call of the President. and ate
an inspection of the premises from al
most every point of view, the lit le pro
SIS On moved slowly back in the direc
ton of town.
FUTURE OPERATIONS.
The Deseret Agricultural and Manu-
facturing Society is one of the worthiest
institutions of the Territory. In the
past, it has done more to the advance
ment Of the agricultural interests tnau
any other factor and its useful
ness was only cut short when
for lack of public support the board re-
solved 10 patiently wait until It's work
should be better appreciated, an anUlcl-
| patton which it seems has 6een now
! realiz d by the action of the 6 vernon
and Legislative d sSemb,y in Iuaktng a
qui'e liberal appropriation to be eX
| pended under it direction. Inc Ocle Y
has in the past given fifteen Territorial
exhibitions or fairs ana lltely has 6e
pended entirely upon its own exertions
20 meet the expenses OF each, which
were in many instances exceedingly
heavy and great embarrassment to
the society. The last exhibition wss in
1881. at which over 50 000 was given
hvy ho 10
sides numerous special premiums by
enterprising and pubIic-spirlted citl-
znns. It is understood to be the inten-
ton of the new board to hold fair
next fall which will be of such magni-
tude as TO cause all that have gone be-
| fore, in comparison, to pale into inSig-
nlticance; as it is believed the increased
facilities and the impatus which the
present lively times and recent rich DE-
veopments in the agricultural resources
and the manuf ,cIuring stock interests
OF the Territory WILL Justify not only
a more liberal expenditure of money,
but much wider and more cOmpre-
hensiVe field of labor. 1t should be
understood, however, that not dollar
Of the appropriation by the Legislature
can be used for exhibition expenses;
and hence, as in the past, the Board
will be obliged to LOOK to its gate re-
rcipts and the libsrality of CT liens to
defray the expense of the undertaking.
That the hopes of the Board III this re
gard will not be in vain, every one
interested in the prosperity Of the
Territory should put himself On his
mettle to see just how wide awake and
Iublic spirited in this regard he can be.
Ii the people Will Co-operate, as there
is every reason to behave they will,
there is not a shadow of doubt but
that tie Territorial Fair Of 1888 will be
an event of which all Utah will after
wards be proud.
