Walkem, presidcutof the Midland ("antral Fair association, gave a written statement in regard to the purchase of the new exhibition grounds and the formation of a joint stock company.` It was generally conceded that to make the exhibition a suc- cess in future, something should be done to encourage a larger attendance of visitors and to procure increased facilities for exhi- bitors and the public. Reference was made to the unsatisfactory way in which the pre- sent grounds are held, and the stops the society had taken to secure a suitable site. Land on the north side of Princess street was purchased for $3,500, though certain conditions were annexed that were consider- ed unreasonable and which are now sought to be rectified with every prospect of suc- cess. It was evident from the tirst, said the president, that it would be impossible to buy lands, erect buildings and carry on our exhibitions under our agricultural so- ciety, hence it was decided to form a joint stock company under revised statutes of Ontario. cap. I55, which would grant to our association all the privileges it at resent enjoys. This company has been ormod under the name of the `Midland Agricultu- ral Smietyf with a capital of 810.1110, in shares of $20 each, 35 per cent. of which will have to be at once paid. As soon u the question of the conveyance from the govern- ment i-; settled the stock book will be open- ed to the public and I feel sure, in a very short time. lled.

The committee in Kingston had not much to boast of in the work done h them, but they had done something. u addition to the amount raised, which was little enough, a colporteur had been at work in the back townships of Frontenac, Lennox and Ad- dington. Many of the people visited by Mr. Lockport were poor. He found a num- ber of instances where nominally Protestant families were destitute of a copy of the bible in their homes. Besides his regular duty he held religious services where no minister was stationed. Durin the Midland Cen- tral fair he had a stall lor the sale of bibles and testaments, and the committee desire to make grateful mention of the fact that the directors did not make any charge for the space used by him. He had done good work. In one month he was en for `.26 days, travelled 364 miles, made calls and sold 29 bibles and 70 testaments, for which he received $34.44.

The word of God was published in 277 dierent tongues and dialects. The growth in bible cirlulation since the society's foundation, 83 years ago, had been stupendous; The men who began to build very early in this century were large-lieurted and broad- viewed beyond many of their contempora- ries. 'l_'heir plans were conceived in the most generous spirit, yet who would say that even these men imagined. intheir most sunguinc and enthusiastic moments, where- unto bible circulation would grow in the hands of their successors, and that before a century would pass away.
