The PRESIDENT then proposed, as a toast, " The

health of the successfUl competitors for stock," and,
in the exercise of his privilege, called on the Duke
of Richmond to return thanks, than whom he was
sure would be more acceptable to the company.

stood on the table, and said—l MS educated in s sclecl

tical farmer; but I believe there is not a farmer in the
country who will not acknowledge that I am, at all

years I was an unsuccessful candidate; but I knew it
was the characteristic of the British farmer to persevere,
and I hope that I have English blood enough in my
veins to induce me to persevere until I have won the
Premiumi which I failed in at first. From that period
up to the present I have won on some occasions; I have
been beaten often; but, I must say for myself, if you
will permit me to say. anything personal, that I never
complained of the decision of the judges.—(Cheers.) I
was not aware that I should be called on to address
you, but I can only say this, that there is no occcasion
when called on before an assembly of the farmers of
England that I shall .not stand on the table and face
them as I do now.—(Cheers.) I will not detain you
any more, but assure the company here assembled that
there is no man who feels more strongly than I do the
