George N. Atwater,-now held that the cash value of the animals was to weigh in tle scale. and that on this basis the award would be- long to them.

He thanked the president and managers. in be half of all the exhibitors, for their untirng eXer- tions saying that the satisfaction of seeing the show come to such a happy end must be their greatest reward Turning to Mr. E. N. Hyde, of Stafford, president of the Connecticut state agricultural society he made the formal presell- tation of the banner, with few brief words of congratulation.
 Alr. Hyde said he accepted tue banner on be- half of the Connecticut society, as proEl testi- monial of the success of the citizens of his state in the present exhibition, and while it would be prized for its beauty and intrinsic value it would be still more rrized as coming from an associ:i- tl0n that has already won so erviable a reputa- tion as this. He congratulated the managers on their present and past success, and augured for them still greater success in the future express ing the further hope that Connecticut men might be still more stimulated in years to come as they had been in the years past by the example here obtained, to increased efforts forthe improvement of the breed Of horses
