He referred to the spring as the season of change and of promise. Among other things to be gratelul for. he said, even Congress had adjourned. Good things now come to the front, he said. The welcome asparagus thrusts Its green nose through the soli; the green pea begins to bud.

full of promise; the sparrow built its nest In places ingeniously contrived to make them public nuisances; the cow goes forth to the fields and promises the aqueous milkman an abundant flow of garlicky milk. The shad and herring came up the Potomac to the sale sliores of the District of Columbia and sought the parental protection of a special act of Congress, last and best of all the members of this association assembled here pregnant with great Ideas, which they were anxious to deposit here for tne service of an icthyophagous population. He referred to the Washington monument, from whose heights ten weeks looked down upon them; to the public buildings, from which they could learn of mauy things that are to be avoided In architecture. The hastening crowd ol office seekers taught them that the most diligent bee did not always get the honey, and the early bird sometimes Failed to entrap the worm. In concluding he bade them hearty welcome to a soiourn here, which must be most useful to mankind and to fish.
