On Thursday, the last day, the annual address was de- 

 livered by Hon. N. M. Hawkes of Lynn, before a good 

 audience in the Center Church, and was highly com- 

 mended by all who heard it. 



The scripture reading and prayer by Rev. T. E. St. 

 John were appropriate for the occasion as was also the 

 excellent singing by the " Philharmonic " Quartette. 



After the conclusion of the services at the church, the 

 annual dinner was served in Tanner's Hall, after which 

 Vice-President Butler, in the absence of the President, 

 called the assemblage to order, and after introductory re- 

 marks, introduced Mayor Taylor of Haverhill, who wel- 

 comed the Society to Haverhill, followed by Hon. W. R. 

 Sessions, Secretary of the State boardof Agriculture, Hon. 

 F. T. Greenhalge, Hon. N. M. Hawkes, Hon. Wm. H. 

 Knox and others, all of whom made interesting and spicy 

 remarks, which added to the occasion.
