AGRICULTURAL COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS. 



The number of specimens shown in this department were

 unfavorable season of the year, this condition was due to the 

 fact that the initiation of an agricultural exhibition left many

 many fruit growers will be encouraged to send specimens, who 

 this year for one reason and another held aloof. 



The judges of the agricultural exhibition were Dr. Wm. T. 

 Brigham and Messrs. Gerrit P. Wilder and J. E. Higgins.
