TO the efficient. earnest and untiring
labors of the officers may be attributed,
In great measure, the grand success the
exhibition attained. President Law
renee was fortunate in having corps Of
lieutenants that understood the needs of
the occasion, and manifested that they
were on hand for such purposes. The
superintendants acted with control and
good Judgment, and not single clash
was known to occur during the four
days of the exhibition.
Secretary Dana was one of the most
eargerly sought men of the whole col
lection, and filled the patience-trying
position with marked decision and cour
tesv. Treasurer Roscoe met every
financial demand with accuracy and
promptness, and won the respect of all
with whom he came in contact
That there were no protests filed
against the decisions of the Judges is
evidence that their renderings were as
fair and honorable AS human mutability
usually permits.
The perfect order maintained may be
attributed mainly to the presence of the
Chief Marshall, Col. Y. NJ. Chapman,
who fully maintained his reputation for
restraining all who may be disposed to be
refractory without giving offense to any.
Mr.. Charles Childs of Weybridge, who
acted as marshall, in place of his father,
was active and efficient, and complied
with every demand that his position
imposed upon him.
Although not burdened with any
office. there was not more Interested or
active person on the grounds than Col.
nlsley, who seemed to discover anything
and everything that might be improved
upon, and he either acted Immediately
to remedy defects or took notice for fu
ture action.
1t was a Thoughtful and pleasant in
cident of the occasion. the presentation
to the visiting soldiers of simple floral
souvenirs of their presence among us.
At the conclusion of Il brief address by
Secretary Dana from the judges stand,
thanking Col. Sargent and his command
for the honor they had conferred upon
the society, the attendants at the fair
and the citizens generally. Mrs. j. f.
Weeks and Mrs. w. a. Lawrence came
forward, while the troops were in line,
and presented the officers with elegant
bouquets, and each officer with bunch
of flowers. The officer responded feel
ingly and the men evidently enjoyed the
attention by placing the souvenirs in
conspicuous places. Three rousng
cheers and a tiger" sent the boys away
happy.
It is but Just to say of the troopers,
that their conduct while here showed
them TO have due respect 70 the position
of an American soldier, and discovered
that while Captain Stanton is courteous
gentlemen he is a strict disciplinarian.
The sale of nearly nine hundred men,
bers' tickets, against the usual four to
five hundred, and large increase in
single admissions shows the financial
gain this year, while the whole pro-
ceedngs is evidence that the Addison
County Agricultural society has taken
on new lease of life and has bright
and useful future before it.
