 public service, was sufficient apology. 



The State Board Delegate, Henry Chapin, of Milford, being 

 obliged to leave, left his approbation of what he had seen. The 

 awards of premiums were read by the Secretary ; after which, 

 the exercises were closed in the usual manner, by the singing of 

 " Auld Lang Syne." 



When we consider the large number of active men who have 

 gone to the war from this county, and th^ engrossing cares that 

 infest the public mind, the success of the Exhibition shows con- 

 clusively the deep hold which the Society has taken in the regard 

 of the community, and affords a happy augury of future successes 

 when peace shall have again returned to bless the land. 



Great credit is due to the Chief Marshal and his Aids, and to 

 the Chief of Pohce, Charles Coburn, Jr., for the excellent manner 

 in which their responsible duties were performed.
