BIG TENT CROWDED. 
On arrival at the Experiment Station the visitors found the large 
tent filled with people to its utmost capacity, probably three thou-

the city were there as well as farmers and residents of the ad- 
jacent rural sections. The Experiment Station by its association 
and relation to the farming and rural communities naturally in its 
field day attracted to its celebration many of that constituency. 
GREETING TO THE GOVERNOR. 
As Governor Hughes walked into the tent, followed by the other 
distinguished visitors, the entire assemblage rose to greet him. Hats 
were thrown into the air and handkerchiefs were waved on every 
side. The audience remained standing until the Governor and party 
had taken their seats on the platform. The exercises were called

of the Experiment Station, who acted as president of the day. Mr. 
Wilson first introduced Mayor A. P. Rose, who gave a greeting in 
the following words:

of able, distinguished, learned and practical agriculturists, and men 
eminent in science and statesmanship, gathered here from the length 
and breadth of the land, to do honor to our Experiment Station.

yet, on account of its location, we Genevans cannot but consider 
that it belongs to us in a special sense, and you must permit us to 
take a special pride in it. We trust that when you leave our city 
you will go away convinced that no mistake was made when this 
Station was located here twenty-five years ago. And the pride that
