At the annual meeting of the state ag-
ricultural society, held yesterday at the
capitol, F. B. Clarke, OF st. Paul, was
elected as president for the ensuing
year. The retiring president, f. c.
Plilsbury, of Minneapolis, declined Il
reelection. Mr.. Pillsbury, speaking of
last years work of the society, said:
There was no clash in the least at the last
fair. ana | take pleasure in congratulating
the society upon its present and future pros
poets. We have endeavored, and l think
succeeded admirably, in making this purely
agricultural institution. The annual report
shows remarkably well, and in due time will
be published | would suggest that at future
meetings of the society arrangements be
made whereby tents may be provided in
which farmers who SO desire can live during
fair week. This would save them much eX-
pense, and would he something in the nature
of a novelty besides. There should also be
some evening meetings during fair week at
which agricultural topics should be consid-
cred.

lished in the GLOBE yesterday, gave a
very satisfactory showing OF the present
condition of the society.
