Nv feeling that had always existed between
Carroll and Washington counties, and by way
of emphasis ofthose cordial relations Carroll
had invited those presents to enjoy the fruits
of its industry as evidenced by the prize be-
slowed by the Washington County Agricul.
tural and Mechanical Association. Carroll
extended to Washington the right hand Of
fellowship, and he hoped and knew 1t would
be firmly grasped, and as strongly linked as
the two great names from whom the counties
derived theirs-Washingto and Carroll

ton county society, responded. In behalf Of
the people of Washington county, he accepted
the hospitality of the evening as an earnest o.
the cordial relations existing between the

| Smith of the same city, in response.
| Mr. B. L. Grouse, of Westminster, said
| Carroll never undertook anything that it did
not carry to a successful termination. Carol
promised to send more people to the Fan
| than she ever did before. She did so, and II
addition captured the prize. he emphasized
the welcome that had already been extended
and believed the present would prove stronl
link in the chain of eordiality which bounC
| the two counties together.

He was followed by DIR. Mason, of Hagers
town, in happy vein.
Mr.. w. L. W. Seabrook, of the Sentinel

thing. and consequently he was expected tt
make speech on agriculture. He had
general knowledge of that science, but it wa
theoretical He, however, had by means o
his pen contributed somewhat, he hoped, t.
the success of the Fair and he promised con
tinued effort in that direction.
Professor Simpson, of Western Maryland
College. had not been thoroughly acquainted
with the nature of the exhibits at the Fair

youth, and 6nancieriug Presidents had beef
