Michigan State Agricultural Society.

Lansing, Mich., Feb. 5. —The executive committee of the State Agricultural Society has adopted a resolution offering to join the Central Michigan Agricultural Society in deeding the grounds here to the city of Lansing, on condition that the premises be maintained in a condition for fair purposes for ten years, the State society to have the option of holding a fair there each year, and provided, further, that the city agree to pay the State society’s Lansing indebtedness, which can be adjusted for $9,000. The committee decided .to hold a fair this year, provided its creditors will agree not to interfere with the gate receipts by attacMnent or otherwise. The fair will doubtless be held at Grand Rapids, where the society scored a success last year.
