Baltimore County Agricultural Society
Its Present Financial Condition.-The
annual report of Treasurer Reese, of the above
society shows balance on hand of only $17.14
The figures appear small as compared with the
balance of $4,63287 last year, but when it is
taken into consideration that permanent i'm
during the year costing 50, 882. 18 and the mort
gage reduced from Sc, 500 to 5000 and the in
terest made per cent, instead OF per cent,
they compare favorably.
The mortgage of $500 has been on the
grounds for tweuty-seven years, and this year
is the first time it has been reduced.
Five years ago there was not good build
ing on the grounds and the society owed SILL
300. Since this time all the floating indebted
ness has been paid, the mortgage reduced and
permanent improvements made costing about
$14,O
The figures show that the fair paid for itself
and the improvements and reduction of the
mortgage are clear gain.
The privileges did not pay as well on account
of concessions made to public opinion by doing
away with Objectionable amusements and priv
ileges which would have netted over $1,000.
The railroad admissions fell short of last
year from $500 to 5000, attributed by the board
of managers to the increase in the fare on the
part of the railroad company.
The races cost $232.50 more than last year:
the premiums over 5000, there was an increase
of over 500 in advertising, the general expen-
SEES amounted to $500 more, the attractions to
$500 additional and insurance was raised $50.
For the first time special premiums costing
5000 were paid to the agricultural implement
firms.
The improvements during the year consisted
of new grandstands, poolroom, new railroad
entrance, so new COW stalls, new fence around
the show ring, etc.
