It was entirely unexpected and | the directors are at a loss to find capable successor.

Stearns Wwas asked to tell of his work a& su- perintendent of the midway and con- cessions. His chief recommendations were concentrate space on the midway by cutting down the number of concessions and increasing the rates enough to cover the difference, and to “give the people on the mid- way time to work.” He thought that if the fair were run nights, this latter problem would be solved. Tt was the opinion of all that Mr. Stearns made a splendid showing on his new job, taking ‘in, as the treas- urer's report showed over $2,000. Mr. Atwater read figures which proved that the midway brought in about $1,.000 more than it did six years ago. President Jarvis also took occasion to compliment Mr, Stearns on his suc- cess. After arrangements had been made viith Francis Deming to audit the re- ports. a motion to the effect that they be accepted and placed on file was passed. «f the report to all the George give his classes, so to Officers Elected. The election of officer followed. Upon the motion of William H. Weh- ster, the secretary was instructed to cast one ballot for the iection of Colonel Jarvis to the presidency. The following vice presidents were then chosen: William H. Lyon of Meriden, William H. Webster of Berlin, E. Kent Hubbard of Middletown and George F. Kibbe of New Britain. Mr. Kibbe succeeds A. H. Abbe of New Britain. Secrgtary’s Resignation. President Jarvis then read Secretary Gwatkin's resignation. It follows: “Feb. 10, 1915. and Members of Agricul- “To the Officers the Connecticut State tural Society:— Having assumed an important posi- tion in connection with the White Ad- ding Machine Co., of New Haven which demands practically all of my time and attention I feel it my duty to sever my connection with the Con- necticut State Agriculteral society. The state fair is now so large and the du- ties devolved on the secretary have in- creased from year to year to such an extent that 1 feel my New Haven con- nection will take up my entire time and I therefore offer my resignation as secretary of the (onnecticut State Agricultural society to take effect at {his meeting. “Please understand it will always be my pleasure to co-operate in every way possible to make the Connecticut State Agricultural society a success. “Yours very truly, “L. W. GWATKIN, “‘Secretary.” William H. Webster moved that the meeting be adjourned for a week to give the directors an opportunity to think the matter over before electing # 1wan to fill so important a positiou. An inefficient man, he felt, would spoil the entire fair. To Remain Until Appointment. To cover the point in the by-laws of the society, which state that the sec- retary must be balloted for, Mr. Gwatkin was prevailed upon to accept re-election to serve until such time as the executive committee, acting under its right to fill vacancies, can choose a capable successor. The retiring sec- retary made it clear, however, that it < absolutely impossible for him to ccrve out the vear and suggested that the appointment of his successor be made as soon as possible. Mr. Atwater was then treasurer and George A. Hobson of New Haven chosen to represent tho society on the board of control of the C‘onnecticut Agricultural Experiment stations at New Haven and Storrs’ his term to be of three vear's duration.
