Barstow gracefully acknowledged the compli-
ment. Speeches were also made by Colonel
Walker, Judge Wheeler, Chief Judge Rovce
Judge Poland, Mr. Woodbridge, Governor billing
ham, Judge Veazey, Governor Stewart, Governor
Farnham and Henry Oviatt. Colonel Walker and
Speaker Martin wittily rallied each other on the
pecuiaIities of legislation in the two houses.
Judge Wheeler and Chief Judge Royce discussed
the federal and state systems OF Jurisprudence;
praised the admirable machinery which allowed
courts Of different sources OF power and having
concurrent jurisdiction to exist In harmony, each

and eulogized the readiness of our people to
adopt all necessary reforms; and he believed that
in no state In the Union was the system Of juris-
prudence more calculated to secure justice cheap
ly, expeditiously and surely. Vermont had al
ways been in the van in the adoption OF all
measures tending TO the advancement OF civiliza-
ton and the promotion OF civil liberty, and he
had all confidence that she never would go back
on her record in the past. Judge Royces speech
was an eloquent eulogy upon our state, which
was greeted with loud applause. Judge Poland
and Mr.. Woodbridge paid eloquent tribute to the
memory Of Chief Judge Pierpoint Governor
Dillingham;, who bears his eghty-three years SO
lightly that, as President Roberts remarked, we
all feel assured that our hopes Of many, many
years Of happy life for him will be gratified, mar
rated a laughable story Of his early practice

Farnham dscoursed the aims and Lses of the
association and the benefits to the public and the
