PRESENTATION OF PRIZE BANNER.

Madison. Permit me to thank you for the happy manner in 
which you have presented it, and to assure you and them that 
it will be highly appreciated and gratefully cherished by us— 
that this occasion will be remembered with pride and satisfac¬ 
tion, and that the success of to-day will be a stimulus to our 
people to preserve the laurels they have here won, by industry 
and perseverance in the future. 
The presentation of the Silver Pitcher and Silver Goblet, 
awarded to Messrs. E. W. Edgerton, of Summit, and William 
Smith, of Somers, respectively, for best and second best Farms, 
took place immediately after the presentation of the Banner. 
The Address on behalf of the Society was made by Gen. 
David Atwood, Treasurer, and brief responses were made by 
the worthy gentlemen receiving them. We regret that copies 
of their remarks have not been furnished for publication.
