Book Description

Excerpt from Transactions for the Year 1901 of the Essex Agricultural Society: For the County of Essex, in Massachusetts and the Premium List for 1902 Owing to the inclemency of the weather and the national calamity that cast a gloom over the whole country, the Fair this year was decidedly unsuccessful in a financial view. The exhibits on the grounds were fully up to the standard, and there has not been so good an exhibit of cattle for many years, if ever, as this year, and all very high bred stock. In the Hall the entries were large in every department except fruit, which, as every one expected, was diminished, but what fruit there was was of a very superior quality. The street parade was a success and made a fine display when we consider it had to be postponed one day, and many people that had intended to take part, owing to circumstances unavoidable, had to abandon the enterprise. The annual dinner of the society was served in the vestry of the South church, Friday, with a large attendance. After dinner President Appleton called the assemblage to order, and called upon several gentlemen for remarks, among whom C. H. Goulding, Esq., responded for the town of Peabody, Hon. John F. Hurley for the city of Salem, Hon. Samuel Cole for the city of Beverly, W. Scott Peters for the county of Essex, W. S. Nevins for the Press, Hon. A. P. Gardner, and others.
