Mr.. Porter spoke only three or four
minutes, recalling the first exhibition OF
the society, which was held on the street
In Norway village. It was very differ
emit affair from the present.day exhibit
ton. There was only one bull shown,
aud after the fair, hay being scarce. he
was sold for ten dollars. An address
was given at that fai BY 2. o. j. Smith
of Portland, and the address was con-
tinued for few years as regular feat.
ure, but was later abandoned. A great
advance has been made In tue fair,
especially in recent years, and this has
been largely because we have had good
officers. In the seventy years, Mr.
Porter said, he bad missed attending
only two of the fairs. he was given q
round of applause when he finished.
President Wheeler said that the fair
had enlarged and improved much In re-
cent years, and it's success was due to
earnest work and the cooperation of the
community, for which he wished to ex-
press his gratitude. he was just the age
of the society, seventy-one years, had
served as president for fourteen years,
and felt that some one else should be
chosen In his place. he then asked the
society to proceed with the business Of
electipg president.
Walter l.. Gray expressed himself as
opposed to change when we are getting
good service, and moved that the secre-
iary cast the ballot for Mr.. Wheeler.
Mr.. Wheeler demurred, but accepted
when Mr.. Gray called for rising vote,
and 1t was unanimous for the motion.
Three other officers were chosen by a
single vote each, William o. Frothing-
ham of South Paris being elected Sec
rotary and treasurer TO succeed himself,
T. p. Richardson of Norway trustee to
succeed himself, and Willis 81. Kilgore
of North Waterford trustee to succeed
II. F. Andrews Of Norway, who declined
10 serve further.
The other officers Of the society were
chosen last year for term Of two years.
