1907.

The third Annual Cattle Show of the Vizagapatam District was held this year at Bobbili in the grounds of the Maharajah Park, and was pronounced a complete success. The Maharajah erected a new building for the use of the Samasthanam High School, Bobbili, which institution he founded in 1882; and on the 16th February Mr. R. H. Campbell, the Collector and Agent to the Governor, Vizagapatam District, performed the Opening Ceremony. In the course of Mr. Campbell's speech, he referred to the numerous and useful works of the Maharajah in this District.

Lately the Maharajah bought a house at Madras next to Gopal Bagh, his residence, with the intention of presenting it to the Madras Landholders' Association for the use of its office and to accommodate the members of the Association when they visit Madras. It is proposed to call it "the Zemindars' Bobbili Club."
