The Speeches.
At the conclusion of the third heat in
the 2:29 class, President Norrish, an
nounced from the judges stand that
at the conclusion of the race, Gov.
Hubbard, U. S. Senator Window and Gen.
Baker, guests Of the association for the
day, would briefly address the audience
from the front door of floral hall. Owing,
however, to the long continuance of the
race, as above set forth, it was found nee
essary to inaugurate the speaking before
the races were concluded, thus dividing
the interest, and though not full
iy understood, to the credit OF the
audience be it said, that much the larger
proportion left the race for the speaking.
COY. HUBBARD.
The first speaker introduced by President
NOrrish was Gov. Hubbard, who, in re-
Spouse to the very complimentary terms in
which he was introduced, spoke substanti
ally as follows:
Fellow Citizens OF Dakota County: I

to do anything OF the kind. 1 was much
pleased to receive your invitation to be
here; rather think L should have come

attended your fair last year and witnessed
products of the farm such as only first
class agricultural county could produce.
1t is very gratifying to visit the fairs of
our state this year, and see the evidence
and receive. the assurance as we do, that
our farmers have been
well rewarded for their labor
know that fact means prosperity to every
business interest throughout the state. As
soon as it became assured that the harvest
OF this year was satisfactory, every indus
Try and enterprisein our midst received an
impetus, and pushed ahead with fresh con-
fidence in the future. LISA mostassuring
fact especially illustrated in the exhibits
of all our fairs, that our agriculture and

progressive, and have greatly improved in
common with other industries in our midst.
Our agriculture has left the rut in which
in some sections 1T had nearly worn itself
out, and has placed itself upon common
sense basis. Our farmers in the older
counties have diversified their products.
That phrase though much hacknied, old
and very familiar, has but iatelyl i'm
pressed US with its full significance. 1t
the state fair the other day, I Witnessed an
of stock, that / believe could compete
successfully for premiums Or other
wise, with the exhibits of any of
the New England states. We seem to have
finally realized that our soil and climate
have capabilities beyond the growing OF
single crop, and that we can raise success
mate. We have q better opinion Of our
state, It's resources, and the possibilities
of its future, than we had few years ago.
We were modest then. both in our preten-
sions and expectations. In the early days
of our state, when we old settlers used to
take those tedious wintry stage rides
along this river, we thought if we lived to
see q railroad penetrate this country our
comfort and our prosperity would be COM
plete. We have more than realized our
early ambition in that respect, as in most
others. Indeed, in all matters OF ma
terial development, we have passed
far beyond the goal for which we we're
| striving a few years ago and we already
see a future for our vigorous young
commonwealth, that shall place it along
side of thestoremost states of the Union in
population, wealth and all the elements of
progress and prosperity.
The governors remarks were received
with earnest attention and hearty ap-

he had witnessed in the state exhibited by

results of the national prosperity asrefected
in the national credit, which had been able
to borrow fifty millions in a single day at
311 per cent. interest; and to borrow seven
hundred millions Of dollars in very
short space of time at the same rate
payable at the pleasure of the government
in one year or five hundred years. The
credit of no nation could compare with
ours. He made excellent observations
