Thursday was Governors Day. with l out the governor. a the fair of the l Washington County Agricultural so- 1 ciety, at Kingston. Lieutenant Gov ernor San Souci and the governors i staff were there as were also leading politicians from all parts of Rhode Is land, judges of courts. high and low and state and town officials of every grade and rank. These and their inn mediate following served as a sort of magnet and resulted as it always 1 does, in making Governors Day a
 real big day of the fair insofar as goes attendance. Due to the weather uncertainty the number that passed through the stiles was not as great as | in former years when the sun was not hidden from view. The lieutenant governor was escorted to the grounds and to Hazard hall by the band, and in short order the seats in the big structure were filled and the spigot of the hogshead of oratory removed In the absence of President Rowland Hazatd. his aunt. Miss Caroline Haz-
 ard, former president of Wellesley, presided.
 Congressman William F. Andrews. of Nebraska. was the orator of the day, He spoke on American Ideals which have changed monarchies into representative forms of government and slavery into freedom. At the conclusion of the talkfest, the governor and party were feasted at a special dinner. served in big tent in the midway. as guests of the agricul- tural association.
 The big fair closes today and the management declares that the final day will be in keeping with any that preceded, as none of the exhibits or attractions will leave the grounds un til the fair comes to a close. A special feature of the horse racing events for
