At the Annual Dinner and Fall exhibit we had a great sur- 

 prise in such a fine showing of fruit and flowers. President 

 Breed spoke of the interest shown by the State and people in 

 exhibitions of Horticulture and Agriculture. He spoke of the

 apples which are superior in flavor of any grown in the West. 



George F. Morse, A. A. Shaw, Prof. F. W. Rane, all gave very 

 interesting talks.
