/, is impossible at this time to make a
morc definite announcement of the exer-
9lscs during the meeting. We have en-
gagged several distinguished gentlemen
from abroad to address the meeting upon
variety of topics. among whom We may
name Prof. John Stanton Gould of Cor
nell University. ex-Prcsident of the New

A. Willard and Hon. Harris Lewis, we'll

culture; and we confidently expect sever
al others whose names we are not yet at
liberty to announce. Some Of our friends
who have contributed very materially to
the interest Of former meetings, have prom
Used to contribute papers, thong b unable to
be present themselves.
All members of the Association are in
vitcd to take any part they choose in the
meeting, and several have notified the Tx
ecutivc Committee of their willingness to
prepare papers and join IN the discussions,
among whom may be named Hon. Henry
Clark of Rutland. &. Horace Hubbard of
Springfield, and Albert Chapman of Mid
dlebury. We have also reason to expect
the attendance aud cooperation Of sever
al other citizens OF the State whose lames
we are not yet prepared to announce.
1t cannot be doubted that this meeting
will be more interesting and profitable to
those who attend upon it than any of its
predecessors, whether Of this Association
or any other.
1t is earnestly hoped therefore, that
the darymen of Vermont, recognizing the
fact that they cannot rest upon their lau-
rels but must ever press forward, will at
tend the meeting in such numbers as shall
leave no possible chance for doubt on the
part of their patrons and all others inter-
eAed, that they are determined to keep
fully abreast of the progress of the times
and wor:hily sustain the reputation which
they have acquired in the past.
The Vermont Central Railroad extends
to all members of the Association and
their ladies', who pay full fare in coming,
the usual court ,sy Of free return certlfi-
Gates, to BIO obtained from the secretary
at the meeting. 1t is expected that other
conn Getting roads will do the same.
The hotel accommodations in ST. Adams
are most ample aud the charges moderate.
That there may be no misunderstanding
upon that subject, the Executive Com
mittec take occasion to say that the GUS
tom of giving to new members the earlier
reports of the Association will cease from
the assembling of.thc meeting at st. AL
bans. All new members will be entitled
to the fourth report when published and
all who become members before the meet
ing at st. Adams, but not thereafter, will
