The State Fair Association met
yesterday in Dover and reelected
the former officers. The report Of
the President, t. H. Denney, states
that the disbursements last year
exceeded the receipts by 1852. 36,
but stated the assets of the asso-
citation at SIT, 583.63 and liabilities
at $16,653.51. Claim is made that
since the organization of the So
ciety there has been a decided i'm
provement in the stock kept in the
vicinity. Individual effort in the
interest of the society is urged, as
well as that state appropriation
be granted by the Legislature to
enable them to give more liberal
premiums. More attention will be
given next time to machinery, as
also to an increase of exhibits.
