Latham says that as a matter of course he did not attend the first fairs of the New Q London County Agricultural society, which held fairs alternately in Norwich and New London for five or six years. com mencing in 1S18, and for reasons that are plain. He has attended all the fairs of the present society that was organized in 1854. Mr. Latham said the first fair was held in September. 1855, and an event that was strongly impressed on him was the balloon as tension by Paulin, who made the air trip from Norwich to South Kingston. R. l.. in one hour. He said that a minister was at the head of the society at its inception. Rev. William Gift of Stonington, being the first president. and Dr. D, F. Gulliver of Norwich was secretary and treasurer.
