Thieves recently broke into the
buildings of the Agricultural Socie-
ty, and in addition to stealing prop
erty of the association, broke the
windows and did considerable other
damage. The discovery was made
last Saturday when President w.
B. Comstock was on a business trip
to the grounds. Last fall, at the
close Of the fair, the windows were
nailed up and the doors securely
closed. The miscreants broke into
every one of the buildings, and
among the articles missing are the
office furniture. 1t will cause the
society considerable los. and we
trust the thieves will be discovered,
arrested and given heavy sentence.
The officials should make all extra
effort to find out who the guilty par
ties are. The people of Alpena are
interested in the agricultural
grounds, as they are the ones
benefited, and it is about time that
the depredations Of lawless persons
were put an end to. Every dollar
that has to be expended in making
repairs caused by a few lawless char
acters is SO much less the society will
have to pay for attractions to amuse
the people, and to encourage the
farming and horticultural interests.
Such depredations of the agriculture
al property have taken place nearly
every year, and no one has yet been
punished, but it is about time an
end was put to such vandalism. The
men or boys who committed the
last depreciation must be found, and
dealt with as they Justly deserve.
It is also evident that the time has
come when a person should be kept
at the grounds to protect the prop
erty, and we believe the new trot-
ting association will take the neces-
sary steps to that end.

came before the directors. He alst
stated that the new association hat
not yet been organized and a con
tract could not be entered into al
that meeting.
DR.. j. D. Dunlop stated that the
new trotting association desired tc
lease the fair grounds for term OF
10 years-to have exclusive control
except during the week of the coun-
ty fair, and as rental would agree
to expend from $1,000 to $4,000
in improving the track, etc., and
as the directors, at that meeting,
were unable to make lease, he
moved that the President, Secretary
and Treasurer of the Agricultural
Society be appointed a committee
with power to enter into contract
with the Trotting Association for
leasing the grounds.
Walter Gavagan was opposed to
lease of more than ten years, and
wanted every member of the Agri-
cultural Society to have the right
to exercise horses on the track,
but DR.. Richie showed that such a
privilege was impracticable, in or
der to keep the track in good shape,
on such terms.
James Napier expressed his be-
lief that ten years was as long as
the lease should'be, and that seemed
to be the opinion of the farmers.
G. w. Richardson seconded DR..
Dunlop's motion, and it was carried.
The chairman remarked that the
Agricultural Society's interest would
be properly attended to by their
officers who had been appointed to
make the lease with the trotting
association, and they would see that
the Agricultural Society was not
wronged.
Some discussion took place in re-
gard to the premiums to be offered
at the next county fair, and the fol-
lowing committee was selected to
arrange the premium list: DR..
Richie, Gid Burton, James Napier,
John Monaghan and E. H. Toland.
The necessity of making public the
list of premiums early was shown,
and the directors were in favor of
such being done.
James Napier moved that suit
able piece of land be fenced in at
the fair grounds for use of judges
in Judging stock, which was carried.
A motion was made and adopted
that the Secretary be granted $25
salary.
E. Fl. Toland asked permission
to improve the poultry stands at his
own expense, and a motion to that
effect was carried unanimously-the
chairman remarking that Mr.. To-
and could now fix up the coops as |
he saw fit, and decorate them any
color he desired.

General R. A. Alger arrived in
town last Wednesday evening, in
his private car. He remained at
the Churchill that night, and on
Thursday took a trip over his new
railroad, the Alpena & Northern,
returning to Black River Thursday
evening. He made no proposition
to the Alpena people in regard to
moving his rafting operations from
Black River to this city, but just
before he left town on his return
home prominent business man of
this city requested General Alger to
state on what conditions he would
move his plant here, as it was very
unsatisfactory to have the people
make an offer, not knowing whether
the removal was contingent on an
agreement with the D., B. G. & A..
railroad, and the uncertainty as to
what Alger, Smith & Co. desired.
He was told that his conditions
must first be known before any IN
telligent action could be taken by
Alpena people. And thus the mat
ter rests for the present.

Regent Fletcher, at his first meet
ing with the board Of regents, i'm
pressed those who sat by as listeners
with his open, business-like ways
and the manner in which he took
hold of his. new work. He has q
faculty of speaking right out in
meeting, and one of his remarks
rather amused the spectators and
somewhat startled DIR. Angel at
the meeting Wednesday. The mat
ter under discussion was resembling
the time limit to the junior hop.
DR.. Angel and Secretary Wade both
appeared anxious to have the time
limited, while the new regent APP
peared to think such action all fool
ishness, and he bluntly remarked
that when he was in college they
never limited the time for the iu-
Nor hop and he never heard any
scandals or criticisms resulting from
it. DR.. Angel asked Mr.. Fletcher
how late they danced when he was
in college, and was somewhat start
led by the honest reply; VI remem-
the last dance we had down to
Hanks, we danced until about half

The palace car has been with
drawn from the Detroit, Bay City
& Alpena railroad, and since Thurs
day last the express train has con-
sisted of LOGON olive, baggage, post
al and express car, and two coaches.
The palace car is owned by the
Wagner Palace Car Co., and was
leased to the D., B. G. & A. railroad,
at the rate Of three cents per mile
besides which the Wagner Co. re-
ceived the car fees. The cost to the
D., B. G. VA. railroad was $3.50 every
time the car was taken to Alger
and return-the distance being 210
miles. The car brought no extra
revenue to the railroad, and was not
extensively patronized. BY its dis
continuance the company saves at
least $40 per week-of which $3.50
is the mileage that would have to be
paid, and the balance is the saving
on coal, etc. The two coaches are
comfortable, and so far have been
able to accommodate all who had to
travel. The passenger patronage is
good, and the freight business of
the road is large, and we believe
will compare favorable with any
road except the main trunk lines.
The receiver appears to be running
the road in q business like manner,
looking both to the interest of the
public and the creditors.
