Good Morning List, As I gather information for indexing into www.ryersonindex.org I find other items in the Sydney Morning Herald and this one from May, 1885 I thought worth sharing. HAWKESBURY DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. ------------------------------------------- (BY TELEGRAPH) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT) ---------- RICHMOND, Thursday, The annual meeting of the Hawkesbury District Agricultural assocation was held this day, when a highly satisfactory report was submitted. The overdraft of Three Hundred and Nine Pounds with which the year commenced has been wiped off, and the sum of One Hundred and Two Pounds now remains to the credit of the society with which to commence the new year. the asocation is, however, progressing so rapidly that at least the sum of One Thousand Pounds will be required for the erection of additional buildings. The president, Mr. Town, and the other office-bearers with but one exception, were re-elected for the new year. The council were so satisfied with the secretary's efforts that they voted him a bonus of Twenty Five Pounds. NB. Not having the symbol for Pounds I extended the full wording.
