On September 9th, 18th and 10Th,
this society held its SD annual fair.
We believe that the fair was a sue
cess and feel that our efforts and
time were well repaid. There were
over coo entries. The races were fair
and the crowd well satisfied. The
only thing that we were disappointed
in was not, as many farmers were able
to attend as we had hoped for on ac-
count of the lateness of the season.
The financial condition of the So
ciety is not as good as we could hope
for. We are still owing substantially
the following sums:

To offset this in part there is still
due from e. J. Jones part OF the
purchase price on land purchased by
him from this society the sum of
$4,000 leaving a net Indebtedness of
S423O9. To further offset this we
have subscribed as donations to the
society the sum of about $1,000,
which has never been paid. So that
the society is owing, without visible
means of paying the sum of about
$4,000. Some steps should be taken
Immediately to provide funds to pay
this Indebtedness as we'll as to col
lect the amounts subscribed as dona-
tons which have not yet been paid
A goodly number of new life MEM
berships were taken in during the
past year and many more might be
had if properly solicited.
AS to the wants and needs of the
society, they are so numerous that l
hesitate to make any suggestions. OF
course, the first steps to be taken are
to wipe out the present Indebtedness.
A grand stand is needed very much,
as we'll as more cattle stalls and a
building within which to place the ex-
hibits. Last year, owing to the ex-
ceptionally fine weather, tents were
very satisfactory, but very expen-
sive, and if we had been so unfor-
tunate as to have bad weather, they
would have been very unsatisfactory
The track should be improved.
AS to the general suggestions /
wish to make the following: a sup
erintendent of grounds should be ap-
pointed who will have supervision of
the grounds at all times during the
year. The premium list for the COM
! ing year should be gotten out as
soon as possible, and great care
should be taken in the selection of
, the superintendent OF the various
divisions, as upon them devolves very
| largely the success OF the 1alf.
Some steps should be taken to have
trees planted upon the grounds in
the proper places, and it seems to me
that the City of Morris should be
willing to donate something for this
purpose.
To make the fair a success, great
stress should be laid upon the amuse-
ment features, for a goodly proportion
of the people who attend the fair are
drawn there by races or other amuse-
ments. At the same time every effort
should be made to make the fair as
instructive as possible to our farmers
for they are the ones who will derive
the greatest benefit from the fair.
