WIC^TER MEETING. 



207 



I wish that I had space to refer to each one who so well made 

 special displays of merit, but to mention each one's name and say what 

 he sent to the Exposition during the whole of that 40 days would 

 take too much space, and weary you also. 



A list of the counties making the show and keeping it up, and of 

 the persons furnishing the fruit for the same, will be submitted, so far 

 as I have a record of them. If any names are omitted it is because 

 for some reason or other I have not the record of them.
