| forded by the latter; to the president
| and the officers of the agricultural col
| lege for their splendid exhibit; to the
| Ell Paso & Northeastern Railway Com
pany for the magnificent display of the
fruit of Otero county; to the Daily New
| Mexican and all the press of the terri
tory for unvarying kindness in promot-
ing the objects of the society and the
success of its efforts; to the officers Of
| the d. s. r. G. Railroad Company fol
the free transportation of exhibits ant
reduced fare for visitors: to the ladies
of the reception and decoration CON
mittees, who so efficiently united IL
making the fair a grand success, and tt
the superintendent and officials TO
their services cheerfully and gratu
itously rendered.
The treasurer could only make a par
tial report, as all the funds We're no
yet collected, but it was apparent tina
the entrance receipts had fallen short o
expectations, and that special effor
must be made to keep up the reputation
of the society for the prompt paymen
of all premiums. The entire premium
list offered amounted to over $500, blu
as some articles We're not exhibited thu
amount actually awarded falls some
what short of that sum.
President Prince presented a lette,
from j.. F. Wielandy, asking that $40 o
his premiums be put in the form of
life membership, and Messrs. Riven
burg. Harroun. Prince and Cartwright
also announced that they would tak'
life membership for themselves, Of
where they are already life members
| for members of their families. Probably
some others of the larger recipients OF
| premiums will do likewise.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted, Mr.. Sena himself mo-
being present:
Resolved, That the society appre.
ciates very highly the zeal and fidelity
| with which Hon. j. ID. Sena has per.
formed the duties of secretary, devot-
| ing a large amount of time to the re.
quirements of that office, and as a to.
ken of such appreciation we hereby ere
| ate him a life member of the society"
