In the afternoon carriages were
provided and the association were
taken to the agricultural college
and shown through all the depart
ments of the institution. In the
evening DIR. |. H. Orcutt presented
his lecture on "Alcohol' which
proved one of the most interest
ing features on the program. His
apparatus for showing the infu-
ence of alcohol on the physical
system was on display and the
workings of the same was fully
explained. Mrs. E. n. Aldrich
again appeared on the program
and her recitation so pleased the
large audience thet they gave that

a delightful waltz.
