Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reports of the Worcester North Agricultural Society, 1853 The First Annual Cattle Show and Fair of this Society, under the present organization, was held at Fitchburg, on the 27th day of September, 1853. Although the weather was unfavorable, a vast number of people were drawn together, and the show of cattle, fruits, vegetables, fancy and manufactured articles, was very creditable. There was a ploughing match in the morning; after which a most excellent address was delivered by Rev. Horatio Steboins, of Fitchburg. Previous to 1850, there had been no Agricultural Society in the north part of the County of Worcester, and the want of one was much felt. There had long been one Society established in the County, which held all its meetings at Worcester. Fitchburg is twenty-five miles, and some of the towns, in the northwesterly part of the County, are nearly forty miles from Worcester. Some of our citizens were members of the County Society, and participated in its benefits; but owing to the distance, and consequent expense of attending the meetings and shows, only a few of our people received any benefit from that Society. Some of the citizens of Fitchburg, feeling the importance of establishing a Society in this vicinity, met at the Town Hall, in Fitchburg, in March, 1850, and formed a Society, under the name of the Fitchburg Agricultural and Industrial Association, and invited the citizens of other towns to join them. The admission fee was $1, with an annual tax of $1. From this source, and voluntary contributions from members and others, the Society has been able to offer and pay $400 or $500 each year in premiums. The annual shows have been well attended, and it is believed have produced much good. In 1852, an Act was passed by the Legislature, to incorporate "The Fitchburg Agricultural Society," authorizing the Society to hold property, but confering no other benefits.
