Afternoon Sessions,

AT the opening of the afternoon session an
other large audience wa. in attendance. Mr..
Tinkham spoke of the stock exhibition to be
held at Hamburg the coming season and said
that as the sheep-brecdcrs' association had
named the president of this organization,
Col. John b. Mead, to represent it there, we
could not do better than also delegate him.
After some discussion as to the duties of a
representative at Hamburg, participated IN
by &. b. Williams and Albert Chapman,
Nr. Tinkham's motion was unanimously
adopted.
The committee OH nominations reported
as follows:

The report was unanimously accepted and

lica,ion in the agricultural report, but it WAS
not forthcoming. lie now moved that the
secretary Of this association be instructed to

Objection was made that the number of
pages was too small. Dr. Cutting said that
il would be impossible to give much more
than twenty-five pages. lie would how
ever, give all the space possible.
DIR. Cuttings motion was then carried.
The auditors report was called for, and

opinion, and the opinien Of this association,
the bond of union and sympathy between
the college and the people OF this State is
growing stronger and stronger every year.
The grand subjects which the president
has presented to us have always
been uppcrmost in my mind. My hope is
that in the future, and that not far distant,
the people of this State will accomplish,
through the Legislature of the State, that

President Bwckham's Remarks.
President Buckham said that he probably
owed his frequent invitations to address The
meetings of the Dairymen's association to a
desire on the part of the association to show
respect and goodwill to the University of
the State. For such courtesy he desired to
cXpr IS his thanks, and would always be
happy to do what he could to increase
friendly relations between the Institution and
the farmers of the State. Much of the best
blood Of the college came from the farm
homes. lie hoped also that he might consider
such invitations rs desire TO hear other
subjects discussed than those peculiar to
