Several very good specimens of
cheese were exhibited by Messrs.
John T. Browning and j. H. Long.
that of the latter gentleman was par
ticularly fine, reminding one of the
old Western Reserve, with it's fine
mellow flavor. Mr.. August Chilberg,
from Tacoma, was there, and con-
tracted for his whole stock on hand,
or to be made, during the season.
The Annual Address was delivered
by Mr.. L. P. Yemen, and was a mas
terly calculation of the Science of
Agriculture, showing the chemical
composition of soils and plants, the
adaptability of plants to different
soils, the necessity of rotation, the
advantages of intelligent brain-work,
and the invaluable knowledge that
chemistry gives to farmers, enabling |
them to break away from the old rou-
tine established by custom, and to
make calculations as certain in their |
results as those of the manufacturer |
or merchant.
The annual ball, on Friday night,
was q pleasant affair, and none seemed |

took the opportunity to unbend from
their reserve and dignity and enter
into lively competition wirh younger
swains. About As couple partici-
pated, and all went merry as a mar
riage bell, until the shades of night
began to pale before the returning
light of day. Several gentlemen
were present from Olympia. Mr..
Charles Talcott being quite promi-
nent with the ladies, his happy, jolly,
genial face and courteous attentions
securing him passport everywhere.
