society extend into New Hampshire
a representative of the national
grange was present. The speech was
made in front Of the main exhibition
building. and was well received by all
the visitors.
This year the exercise was repeated
with State Master Stetson as the
speaker Notwithstanding the large
number of attractions on the grounds
still larger number of people as
sembled TO hear Mr.. Stetson. For
one-half hour the machinery ceased
t. move. the fakirs stopped their cries,
and this grange exercise became the
real feature. Probably not half
of those assembled We're members OF
the order. still everyone listened with
attention all through the speaking,
and seemed loath to leave when it
was finished, thus showing conciu-
sively the hold the real grange
principles have upon the people, and
demonstrating that even at a large
fair, with its many different features.
there are those who take pleasure in
listening to talk from the head of the
order.
