The winter has left the grounds of the Waldo
County Agricultural Society in excellent
dtion and the track needs very little work be-
fore the summer will have hardened it. Little
damage has been done to the buildings during
the winter and the few repairs will add much to
the reduction of expenses of the society. This
! year the fences have been kept in position by
the good work of last year and the grounds
and track are far ahead of last and many other
years. Work on the secretary's office will be-
gin in few weeks and the dining hall will
probably be erected next month.
