The readers of The Democrat have
a vivid recollection Of the remark

seating caapacity will, be materially
increased. SO that no one will be
turned away. .f:.
Secretary J.. F.. Merry has been at

the good judgment OF the farmers Of
Delaware county, and we believe af-
ter they have read the program,

will agree with us that this year IS
institute will bring the greatest array
Of talent ever brought to ;Manches-
ter for similar occasion.
