The following is a complete list of the successive musical di- rectors of the Mænnerchor : C. Schneider, I. Machold, A. Gut- mann, Charles Muenster, Otto Dresel, A. De Prosse, H. Noth- nagel, K. Spohr, Otto Dresel, A. D. Prosse, Charles Schoppelrei. The present musical leader is H. Eckhardt, a gentleman emi- nently qualified for the position.
In the early part of its history, the Mænnerchor confined itself to private entertainments and to occasional balls termed " con- cert balls," on account of the usual appendage in the shape of a concert. But the dancing was the main attraction on such oc- casions, neither the society nor its patrons deeming the concert of much importance.
For about eighteen years, the existence of the Columbus Mæn- nerchor was barely known to the American public. But in 1866, it emerged for the first time from its comparative obscurity, and took at once a front rank among the German singing societies of the United States. It carried off one of the first prizes at the great musical tournament or Sængerfest held at Louisville. Henceforth the Mænnerchor entered into a more intimate and sympathetic relation to the music-loving public of Colum- bus. Assisted by Miss Caroline Schneider, an eminent pianist ; by Misses F. M. Smith and E. Lathrop, the De Beriot Club, and other leading amateurs, the society gave, at Naughton Hall, during two successive seasons, a series of what may be called " fashionable " concerts, attended by crowded and appreciative audiences.
Since that time the Mannerchor has steadily advanced in pub - lic favor, and met with brilliant success in all its public per- formances. Last year, 1872, it returned laurel-crowned from the Sangerfest at St. Louis. Its renditions at the Opera-house in this city, in May, 1871, of Lortzing's opera, " Zzaar und

Zimmerman," under the leadership of Charles Schoppelrei, and especially in March, 1872, of C. M. Von Weber's opera, “Der Freischuetz," under the direction of H. Eckhardt, were un- doubtedly important epochs in the musical history of the city, and fit manifestations of the fine versatile musical talent com- bined in and represented by the Columbus Mænnerchor.
Two other leading events in the musical history of Columbus- the great festivals of the Sængerbund, in 1852 and 1865-de- scribed elsewhere, were, in a great measure, due to the influence and exertions of the Mænnerchor. Two other prosperous Ger- man musical societies of the city-the Liederkranz and the Harmonie-are offshoots of the Mænnerchor. Success, then, to the German Mænnerchor of Columbus, and all its members, the successful missionaries of song and faithful worshipers of that divine art which makes a people happier, better, stronger, wiser, more peaceful, more contented, and more united.
COLUMBUS LIEDERKRANZ .- This is a German singing society, organized August 14, 1866, by F. Fassig, G. Brandt, M. Lush, M. Fassig, C. Hertenstein, G. Mihlheim, C. C. Weis, and others. Professor Karl Spohr was chosen musical director. It num- bers among its members some of the best singers in the city.
The Liederkranz now numbers ninety members, of whom twenty-four are active, eighteen are ladies, and forty-eight are honorary or passive members. Its object is the cultivation of music and social entertainments. Their meetings are held at Stelzer's Hall every Tuesday evening and Sunday afternoon.
Officers for 1873: F. Fassig, president; Karl Spohr, musical director ; P. Reither, secretary ; M. Lush, treasurer, and C. C. Weis, librarian.
COLUMBUS HARMONIE GESANG VEREIN .- This is a society of German Catholics organized for social entertainment and the cultivation of music. It dates from November 21, 1868. It has among its members some very superior musical talent. The number of members is thirty-five, of whom twenty are counted as active, and fifteeen as passive members. The society mect- ings are held at Frech's Hall, on Rich street, on Friday even- ings. The officers are George Henry, president ; John Roch- renbeck, secretary ; Professor Q. Burkley, musical director.
THE DE BERIOT CLUB OF COLUMBUS .- This musical society was formed in 1859. Its members at first played De Beriot's arrangements for the piano, two violins, and the violoncello. Hence they adopted the name of the De Beriot Club, which they still retain, though they have abandoned the use of the piano altogether, and confined themselves to the highest stand-

The object of the society, as expressed in its constitution, is to encourage and cultivate the taste for music and social enjoy- ment. No one can become a member except a lady, a gentle- man, or an artist, and only by unanimous consent of the existing active members. A married pair count only as a single mem- ber. The club has only three officers, and they hold their offices permanently. Otto Dresel is the permanent president and vice-president. The permanent musical director of the club is Hermann Eckhardt. John Seltzer is the permanent treasurer and bibliothecary.
Meetings of the club for practice are held once a week, and for home concerts and social enjoyment once a month. The present active members of the club are H. Eckhardt, (leader), John Seltzer, Otto Dresel, Dr. Wm. T. Schatzman, and Chas. J. Hess. Their meetings are strictly private. They emerge from their retirement only when called upon to appear before the public in support of some charitable institution or literary en- terprise.
THE ECKHARDT STRING QUARTETTE CLUB .- This club, lately organized, consists of boys from thirteen to sixteen years of age, pupils of H. Eckhardt, Sen. Their names are Hermann Dresel, Eddie Seltzer, E. Butler, and H. Eckhardt, Jr. This juvenile quartette club has appeared before the public only twice, but each time met with an enthusiastic reception.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.
STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
THIS board was organized in accordance with an act passed by the legislature on the 26th day of February, 1846, under the first constitution of the State. The act was passed for the " en- couragement of agriculture " in the broadest and most compre- hensive sense. Many county societies were immediately organ- ized under this law, and commenced holding annual fairs, as being the most immediate practical method of ascertaining the condition of agriculture, the breeds of live-stock, etc. The an- nual reports of the county societies to the State Board at that time show that great interest was taken, not only in these organ-

izations, but that they really gave a great impetus to agriculture generally.
The officers of the State Board were careful and prudent men. They were ready and willing to make any sacrifice which would truly promote the productive and industrial interests of the State; but were unwilling to hazard any rash experiments. It was, therefore, not until 1850 that the board decided to hold a STATE FAIR.
This measure was agreed upon after great deliberation and a thorough canvassing of all that pertained to it. The State Board not being a joint-stock company, was not in the possession of a common fund, and as the legislature had made no appropriation for any such purpose, the members of the board were individu- ally responsible for any liabilities incurred, whether for printing, services rendered, structures erected, or for premiums offered and awarded. While each member was individually liable for any or all of these " considerations," no one of them (except the secretary) received a single dollar for services rendered or time devoted to the fair. In this respect there has been no change from that time until the present-no member receives any pay in form or substance, other than his traveling expenses refunded.
The first State Fair was held on the site of Camp Washington, near Cincinnati, in October, 1850; the area inclosed was about fifteen acres, or five acres more than the capitol grounds in Co- lumbus. The premium list was a very respectable one for the period, starting out with a premium of $20 for the best Short- horn bull, and offering the same premiums throughout for Short- horns, Devons, Herefords, and Ayrshires.
There is no doubt that the position which Ohio occupies as a breeding State of superior cattle and domestic animals generally, is largely due to the encouragement given by the board. The rapid introduction of agricultural implements and machines, especially, is due to the annual exhibitions and the field trials held by the board. As the funds of the board accumulated, prizes were offered for essays of a practical nature relating to agriculture. The annual reports of the board embrace an amount of information on agricultural and collateral topics rarely met with in documents of this character. That the labors of the board are not only appreciated, but have made an im- pression by means of annual exhibitions and reports, is too mani- fest to be gainsayed in the improved breeds of domestic animals, improved implements and machines, better farming, more com- fortable, convenient, and even ornamental homes. Its influences have greatly aided in the development of the material resources of the State by the encouragement of industry. The following

Glenn, Joseph Ridgway, Jr., and Joel Buttles, to report a constitution and by-laws.
The committee reported at a meeting held on the 12th of May ensuing, when a constitution was adopted, and officers elected as follows : Bela Latham, president; Samuel Medary, vice-presi- dent; Joseph Sullivant, recording secretary ; M. B. Bateham, corresponding secretary ; John W. Andrews, treasurer; Dr. I. G. Jones, John Burr, John A. Lazell, John Fisher, Moses Jewett, John Miller, and Leander Ransom, managers.

The society held annual fairs in the month of September for several years. Dr. I. G. Jones succeeded Mr. Latham as presi- dent in 1848, and was frequently re-elected.
Though the society has not been in a flourishing condition for some years past, it was at an early day a most useful organiza- tion in promoting the cultivation of fine fruits and flowers. It is to be hoped that it will soon be reorganized, and resume its pristine vigor and usefulness.
Present officers : Henry C. Noble, president; Dr. W. E. Ide, vice-president; Wm. G. Deshler, treasurer.
THE SAMUEL BARR FUND .- The following article, copied from a city daily paper of April 20, 1872, gives a statement of facts, the most interesting at this time, in the history of the society :
About 1852, the Columbus Horticultural Society received of Samuel Barr a conveyance of ten acres of land for two hundred dollars, on condi- tion of establishing and keeping up a public park and garden on the prem- ises for five years. The society made the effort, and spent several hundred dollars in the endeavor, but the enterprise, after languishing for some years, ceased.
The society continued to use the ground and paid taxes thereon until 1868, when it was sold for $2,600 to Mrs. Jane Bell, who, the next year, after cutting down the beautiful grove, sold it to the Franklin County Agri- cultural Society for a part of their present grounds. The heirs of Samuel Barr, in 1870, brought suit for the land, or the value of it, on the ground of a failure on the part of the Columbus Horticultural Society to perform the condition of the deed. The society answered that it had performed the condition in good faith, and set up a history of all the transactions.
In this stage of the case it has remained for nearly two years. It was then proposed to settle the matter by constituting a fund of the money to the extent of $3,000, to be known as " The Samuel Barr Fund, for the Promotion of Horticulture," to be held and kept invested by the Columbus Horticul- tural Society, and to be kept up against any losses to that amount, and the net income of $3,000 to be applied at the discretion of said society for hor- ticultural purposes, in the purchase of books, periodicals, and such other manner as said society should order.
One of the purposes had in view in proposing this settlement, was to purchase a first-class horticultural library of such books as no private indi- vidual would feel able and willing to buy, and form an alcove as a part of the new city library.
This proposition was accepted by the heirs of Samuel Barr, and a final adjustment of the common pleas court entercd at the late term to the fore- going effect.
As the Columbus Horticultural Society is not in very active condition, the responsibility of this whole matter has been assumed by myself as president; but I am sure it will meet with the hearty approval of all mem- bers, as it secures a handsome sum as a fund for horticultural purposes, and docs honor to one who assisted largely in the means from which the fund was derived.

FRANKLIN COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
This society was organized at a meeting of citizens of Frank- lin county, held at the City Hall, in Columbus, September 6, 1851. A constitution was adopted, which provided for the an- nual election of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and five managers-all these officers to constitute a board of directors. It also provided for annual county fairs, and that each member should pay an annual fee of one dollar into the treasury. The following were the officers elected at this first meeting.
President, Samuel Medary; vice-president, Samuel Brush ; treasurer, G. M. Peters ; secretary, William Dennison, Jr. ; man- agers, Pliny Curtis, David Taylor, Joseph O'Harra, William L. Miner, and W. H. Rarey.
At a subsequent meeting of the society, by-laws were adopted. Mr. Peters having resigned as treasurer, Robert Hume was elected in his place.
The first county fair was held in October, 1851, on the State Fair grounds, near Franklinton. The report of the treasurer, Mr. Hume, in May, 1852, will show the financial condition of the society at the start. He reported :
Cash received of 339 members $339 00
Cash received from county treasurer.
200 00
Cash received from sale of admission tickets to the county fair
59 50
Total ..
$598 50
Cash paid for premiums and expenses
329 36
Cash balance in treasury.
$269 14
The directors now determined upon having fair grounds of their own. Accordingly, in July, 1852, they purchased of Samuel Barr eight acres of land, lying about three miles east of the State-house. This tract formed the nucleus of the present county fair grounds. The annual county fairs have, since the purchase, been held on that tract.
Some time in the same year the directors made a rule or or- der that the payment of twenty dollars toward the purchase and improvement of the fair grounds should, without any other fee or assessment, constitute a life membership. The first life- members under this rule were: Samuel Brush, Benjamin Blake, Robert Hume, M. L. Sullivant, W. H. Rarey, Lucien Buttles, and Adin G. Hibbs.
