[ Governor’s Address. ernor Governor Holcomb was introduced by Colonel Jarvis, President of the Agricultural society, and he spoke | briefly to the assembled crowd. His s in substance follow: iends: 1 want to congratulate first upon the weather. I came here a year ago and I think | | 1 lost forty-five pounds because of | | the weather. Now I am invited to | adaress you on the subject of agri- lletul(, My experience in agricul- | ture was limited to milking seven or | eight cows forty-five years ago and | I have not had anything to do with griculture since; so 1 shall not at- tempt to address this audience on this subject. I want to congratulate you upon this fair, which has become more and more of a su s as years have gone on. I came across a few statistics relating to agriculture in | Connecticut in 1845. You will be astounded to see the changes that | have occurred in this state since that time.” The governor referred to the time about 1850, when New Britain was a parish of Berlin, with a popu- lation of 3,417, and later, when it was set off and to its growth at the pres- ent time with an estimated popula- | tion of 55,000. He referred to jotting down a few statistics which he used in comparison. “New Britain,” he said, “is a typical, progressive town, and affords a wonderful market for Berlin and all the outside towns.” The governor pointed out the value of the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege and the increasing and attrac- methods of teaching agriculture 3 the increased intelligence with which farming is carried on today. Today, he said, the farmers find a ready market at their very doors com- pared with years ago. “In conclusion,” id the governor, “I congratulate you upon the fair and its success. It is the biggest and most successful agri- cultural fair in Connecticut. I can prove this by the statement of Colonel Jarvis, who told me so on the way down and no one can dispute it. I hope the fair will go on and become more and more attractive to its young men. The reason that I did not wish to become governor two years ago wa because I wanted to go back to the now that I m nominated I wish to postpone the trip to the old farm for two years you over Grand Parade of Cattle. One of the big features of the fair, the parade of working cattle, for which the Berlin exhibition is famou was held yesterday. Tk parade wa headed by the Connecticut Agricul- tural College exhibit led by Dragon Junior, a coal black two-; ar-old Percheron. The animal weighs about and is a magnificent horseflesh. Then came Continental, the college prize Here- ford bull, with his herd. There were nearly 100 yokes of working cattle in the parade. Nathan Beardsley of Roxbury with a pair of Devon bulls driven tandem led this «division and then came 20 yoke of Devon cattle belonging to the Beardsley outfit. Others represented in the parade were: Payne Brothers of Portland with 20 pair and Bevans & Purple from East Hampton with 24 yokes. Late in the afternoon P. S. Mec- Mahon paraded his string of cham- Holsteins Dbefore the judges’ This herd was headed by grand champion, Judge Henreveld Ormsby. The judge has a peppery disposition and the attendants took no chances with his bullship, having the huge beast in close leash. Fruit Awards.
