congratulate you on the success you
have achieved. We confidently expect
that this grand work will be pushed on
by you until the scrub animal will he
SO rare in Dakota, that Barnum would
seek in vain for specimen. We ,.al-
come you as friends. It's part of
our nature that the bonds of friend
ship should exist strongly among those
engaged in a common enterprise, and
especially when that enterprise is one
of so ennobling a character as that i'll
which youa are engaged We welcome
you as neighbors; distance i'll Dakota
never bars neighborly relations; the
five hundred miles which separates the
extremes of Dakota does not bar us
from viewing our neighbors stock, aud
comforting with him as to his plans
and methods, and these neighborly
calls are of great mutual benefit. Why
our worthy President David would
think nothing of getting up early in
the morning and travelling one, two,
three or four hundred miles to some
other part of Dakota to get good,
square look at a fine thoroughbred
short horn calf; he might not get back
the same day, but he'd be sure to come
back with the names (and membership
fees) of several new members for the
Dakota Fine Stock Breeders ASsOcia-
ton. Last, but not least, we welcome
you as citizens and representative men
of the great territory OF Dakota, a ter
ritory which, in spite of the refusal of
congress to recognize our rights, is
developing in every direction more
rapidly than any state or territory ever
did-a territory which with her varied
interests fully developed, and with
stock breeding her prominent interest,
is destined in the near future to be-
come the two banner states of the
great northwest. Again, Mr.. Presi-
dent and members of the Dakota Fine
Stock Breeders Association, we bid
you most hearty and cordial welcome.
We deliver over to you the keys OF the
city, take them, go where you please,
and do as pleases you best, we only
regret we cannot serve you better.
We shall endeavor to make your stay
here, or any future visit which you
may make here pleasant. and cordially
invite you to come again.
President David responded in a
happy and forcible manner. He paid
tribute to Madison as the Athens
of our new northwest, where in the
midst of a rushing business and strife
for wealth and political honor, where
J the farms are to be opened, shelter
provided for stock and homes to be
erected for the families; yet with al
these pressing needs, the Madisonians
had not forgotten to pause and provide
institutions of learning for the child
rem who are to take the mantles OF ou
worthy hosts. Mr. David made strong
!, point in favor of the the Thoroughbred
against the scrub. Toasts were re
: sponded to by Col. NJ. NJ. Price, Hon
Geo. L. Wright, d. I. Newton and H
: II. Risden. The evening passed onl.
!; too quickly and when the compan,
: retired, each guest voted Madison
t grand good town, and her people roya
