WEDNESDAY MORNING.

sident in the chair. The President in
his excellent and optimistic address
highly commended the members fot
tho splendid season's work. I-le
thought -thc meeting would infuse in
terest into tho delegates und that they
would return bg their respective- circles
and encourage their people in the
coming season -to oven double the re
suits of last year. The farmers of
the Island should give due credit to
the Live Stock Branch for sr.-ndiug Mr.
W. A. ‘Brown to the Island to assist
at t.he annual meeting. The Presi-
dent also spoke in highly cotnlJllll\f‘"‘

ccss he has made of this movement.

riculture for thc assistuiice given by
