PART 1. SC 1 - CAV. L. BICCHIERI: Your Excellency; m “honourable oo colleagues representing colonies other than those forming part or hex British Empire, with that stately distinction which char cherisa® t : have been pleased to assign to me the honoured task\pfZreplying to Your Excellency. I desire on their behalf as well as o 0 own, to express our sincere gratitude for the hospitality offered t and’ for the arrangements made for our comfort. And it is with a spiri heart sincerely moved that I address your Excellency the Governor of this Colony and President of this Conference, not only to convey to you our most cordial thanks in return for your expressions of welcome, but also for all you have done to help this Conference, both for its organisation and its future development. We promise you that in this Conference nothing will be left unattempted which can help to stamp out the most common parasites and disease that tend to destroy plants, stocks, and crops in general. We shall also extend our best efforts to further good inter-colonial relationships and science and the prosperity of those colonies which are actively interested in the matters before this Conference. The spirit of solid organisation and co-operation always alive in this country for the attainment of an object near its heart I notice with gratification is also present on this occasion. Your Excellency’s words, full of warmth and encouragement and confidence to this nascent Conference, cannot but spur us to attain really satisfactory results. To Kenya I feel there will belong to-morrow the great glory of being the first to give life to a combined agricultural, cotton, and entomological conference, destined to become a creative centre which will radiate vital forces for the production and development of the great natural resources of the immense tracts of Africa. Your Excellency, it gives me great pleasure to return thanks to you for your great kindness in coming from Mombasa especially to open this Conference, for your very kind and encouraging remarks contained in the speech you have just made when you declared the Conference open. I also wish to thank the Secretary, Colonel Walker, for the excellent arrangements made for the general conduct of the business of the Conference. His Excellency, on the conclusion of Cavalieri 1.. Bicchieri's speech, was introduced individually to each of the delegates. The Conference then adjourned for a few minutes and a photograph was taken.
