 a good one, although not as largely attended as have been some of its 

 ] tredecessors. The people of Princeton did all possible to have the 

 A'isitors feel at home. The display of apples was very good, considering 

 the season, and the fruit was taken in charge bv Secretarv Goodman,

 put forth every effort to have a good display at Paris, and also at 

 Buffalo, X. Y., in 1891.
