Worthy Master of the National Grange, ar
rived here tonight, and will 60 to Fort Fair
field in the morning. They will address the
members of the Aroostook County Grange

tain whether he will be able to go with him,
or whether he shall be obliged to return
home.
Col. Brigham is delighted with Maine. He
expects to be in the State for some days yet,
and will then 60 to Texas to fill series Of
appointments. His next official trip will be
to California, where he will preside over the
annual session of the National Grange.
Gov. Robie tonight spoke in the highest
terms of the manner in which the grangers
Of Maine have received the Master of the
National Grange.
The first meeting Col. Brigham addressed
was at Old Orchard. He then went to Frye
burg, and Monday spoke at West Bath. The
meeting there was remarkably effective. Jo-
seph White presided and both Gov. R0bie
and Col Brigham spoke.
The attendance az Fort Fairfield tomorrow
promises to be very large. The grange Is in
fiourishing condition in Aroostook county,
and the county fair is in progress.
Col Brigham said this evening that in his
address tomorrow he shall probably speak
of the educational work already accomplished
by the order and try to show the necessity
for organization.

Who that saw the race does not believe
that Nelson could have trotted three heats,
on his courage in 2.16-217? and the facts
show that this would have won first money.
