speaks with such ease as Mr.. Bryan
enjoys making q public address. es-
pecially where he and his audience
are in such thorough accord as on
| yesterday, but there Is not the slight
est doubt that he had as good time
yesterday looking at the exhibits, cs-
pecially the blooded cattle, as he had
during the day.
President stuart and former Gov
ernor J. Hoge Tyler were his cicerones,
but they wore scarcely quicker than he
to see the points OF beauty about tho
prize bulls and blue ribbon cows,
though they are regarded as the final
authority on fine cattle In Virginia.
After the address. after the luncheon
in the big tent at the grounds. and
after the inspection OF the exhibits,
mfr. Bryan spent an hour or so watch
/ ing the races. And he didn't look bit
bored when lie re-entered his carriage
and was driven to the Jefferson. where
he had a short rest before coming
down to Murphy's for dinner.
