INicholls from the society. Vice.~President F.A. Clark and di- rectors James McLean, R. S. Thomp- son, J. Lunau, J.S. McNair, G.H. Duncan, J .E. Francis and Robert .Agar all reported re the various de- \partments under their direction. It was pointed out that the showing of live-stock was gratifying last year. The exhibit of cattle, sheep and hogs was the largest in history and the ;showing of horses wculd have done credit to many of the larger fairs of the province. The apparent lack of interest in the fair evidenced in some quarters in Richmond Hill was regret- ted and it was felt that the fair should have more active support in the village. The annual meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Agricultural Society was held in the Council chamber on Saturâ€" day afternoon last. There was a fair attendance of members and all were enthusiastic and optimistic concerning the affairs of the society which is one of the oldest in the province of Ontarâ€" io and which on May 24 next will hold its seventy-nineth annual spring exhi- bition. The financial report given by the secretary R.S. Cooper showed that the society broke about even in 1927 with a small balance on the right side of the ledger. Considering that the fair was postponed on account of rain this showing was quite satisfact~ cry and the directors expressed them- selves as well pleased that there was a surplus for the year rather than a deficit. President W.H. Legge presided and in his opening remarks referred to the loss which the society had sustained in the sudden death of H.A. Nicholls who for so many years was an active worker in the organization. He thanked the directors for their able support and assistance during 1927 and spoke with confidence concerning the future of the Richmond Hill Fair.
