Mr. Sias. I would say Mr. Sidney Corp took the first prize 

 for the best collection at this meeting. He is among the first I 

 knew of to grow the Autumn Streak successfully. He lives 

 some fifteen miles north of Eochester and a mile and a half from 

 Hammond. 



Mr. Brand. How old are his trees? 



Mr. Sias. They must be ten or twelve years old. 



Mr. Philips. Hibernal has been in bearing on Mr. Tuttle's 

 grounds for some ten years and is a very heavy bearer. 



Mr. Brand. Does it bear any better than Talman Sweetf 



Mr. Philips. Yes, it does now, because the Talman Sweets are 

 dead, mostly. 



Mr. Underwood was called upon for a song, and rendered a 

 few stanzas of " Tim Finnegan's Wake," much to the amusement 

 of his auditors. 



The meeting then adjourned till two o'clock p. m.
