The President, in opening the prnosedinp. said be
nadenieed It was meal for the chainnot of the meet-
ing to say • few words to them, toornigh, for himself, be
felt quite inadequate to address snob • large meeting,
and he woeld only say what great pleasure it had given
him to witness the Linde and nognifi out sal' bition of
fruits of the earth displayed in the room below, and
the work of lissome fingers of women sod girls shown
in the adjoining apartment. The exhibition downstairs
reminded him, and thern too, he had no doubt, of the
faithfnlnees of the promise that seed-time and hareeet
shall always remain, and at this mason one could not go
through the fields or drive along the highways without
seeing stook after stack of corn, arising, indicating also
Is fulfilment of Hut promise in the present year.
And these things were an earnest, as it were, of the
fulfilment of greater promises- promises of things
which do not perish loth the using thereof. H. was
glad to see from the schedule before-him that in Dorset
se in many other mention of En .land, especial attention
was paid to the wellereof the labouring claasea All were
aware that the labouring cleaves were more depend ent than
any others, and it was impostant that all able to do in
should ambit them both by example and precept in
tarrying out the work of life. No sge bed been so
prolifie ea the present in schemes of philanthropy •nd
soignee. Round after round, and sop after step in the
ladder of science was attained, and philosophers grasped,
as it were, the bidden mysterin of nature, while those
following them sehieved higher results, so that now it
could be almo.t said men had arrived at the knowledge
which the heathen supposed to belong only to gods.
Bat while in some ttoongs the labouring clauses were
dependent upon others, in otben they were
greatly dependent Peon tkonseives, He specially
refereed to edesation sod the orderly keeping of
theor homes; end he was very glad to observe
from the prose list that industry, both at house and
at school, was very extensively rewarded by this society.
It was said, end be thought fairly so to a certain ex-
tent, that the Fest pains taken by Use clergy, land-
owner., farmers and others in this eoenty, -Wad not
horse fruit ex 44.1 y as (mould haey been wished. But,

themselves, a great illigeteeeMelli will be manife toed in
their home& which was not shoats to the extent ex-
peeted at the present amoagoot that *lase But it un-
fortunately happened in some oases, that though they
Might have orderly and cleanly honest, tome of the
cottages were not of the description they ousht to be. ,
Very great °henget were now being made for the better,
but the evil had been of such great magnitude that it
wo impossihle to get rid of it at once. He rezerd.d it
is most important that when tottsges were built they ,
should be "ode ado gtote for the comfort and decency
of the CI live in them (hear, bear). Bet th.t
was not the rose @eery where. He ties recently pa-sing
across the heath, near gallows-hill, and saw • building
just erected of the most miserable disorder con-
°dyable, for this hones had no conveniences. The owner
of the land on which it was placed ought not to have
allowed sock ea erection. A facetious friend of his
reworked that the people in that district were
beathena--first, bonus., they lived on the heath, and,
second. because they were so far removed from all means
of grass. The subjects of edocation an/ the condition of
the homes of the people were nod important, and he
wee very glad to see that the society paid a special
attention to theee matters-(spplause).

The Rev. C, W. Bingham said he cleared to propose
• tote of thank. to the shaman for corning amonpt
them and seldrewring them, and he would also thank
Mr. Hindenlity for hi. kind labours during the past
yew —(bear, hear) Again and again had it been his
privilege to rise at their annivereary meetings to thenk
Mr. Hindersley for the nerd work he did for them.
They eppeered on those grand review days, but the hon.
ethretary worked for them all the year round. Ile
thought they had greet reason to be thankful. amongst
other thinp, that it had pithead God to give theot mot
more • line day for their meeting. He cue sere shes
if anybody would only look bark and rthollmt what
the previous afternoon was, he wonlil feel that they
hied very good reason to be thankful that the bright
sun was then shining upon them and ten Icing
pleasant their means of asseinbling together. He
thought their meeting for some reason or other wee not
quite so e.g...h he hial then on fernier occasion.;
perhape, if he might 'assist a reason, it might be
'mused from the circumstance tf the harvest not being
yet completed in the distant parte of the county,
and therefore many of the competitors were prevented
attendthg through being engeged in the h,rvrnt field.
But be was sere that ..on. who had seen the show of
vegetables would feel that the association was
going backwards in the world. So far aa his
own otherystion went, he hod rarely
seen • more beautiful atom. There was the point
which he anticipated Mr. Hindemith would touch upon,
and it was an important one, via, the kat that the
Association was not maintaining the same asnount of
, support as it had in former yours. They had, year
after year. to regtet • deliciency I. lb. fund., and if
matters no on as they do at present they would be
obliged either to mime the number of premium. or else
th tr amount. lie hoped the gentry and farmers of
thig neighbourhood would take the matter into their
wasat'eration, and then they would and what •valu•ble
institution this wee for the enoouregement of the
labourers, and would he constrained to do their utmost
to acmes the fends and enable them to carry on the
aseceiation with the earns vigour as heretofore—Cheer,
hear). Os thorn nonaions they were always reminded
—and length of pion did not seem to him to effthe the
remembrance—of the dear genial face of him who
, presided at their anniversaries maze • long year. Let
them never forget that Mr. Kinderaley was his
representative, and that if they wished to show their
off. ni ioo for the memory of Mr. Cassie. Tombs,. they
*paid do it in no better way then eupporting this theocia-
lion, in which his hat 'Realms were phoned. He
would propose a vote .1 thanks to Me. Mansel for his
kindness in presiding and to Mr. Hindemith for being
the regular labourer ef the somety—(applause).
Major K L Hinderaley, in returning thanks, said bis
goad friend Mr. Biogb.m made too much of hi- email
labouts. From all that he (Mr. Sagami) bad said one
might think they were of the mast arduous and serious
character, and that be lees really most praiseworthy in
undertaking them. But his laboury were larg ly exag-
gerated, and be found an ample reward for them, what-
ever they might be, in the eatafsetion he felt that good
was being ..one to the labouriag cisme. of the neigh-
bourhood, nod also in the pleasant association with his
neigl bour. whith it efforded him. It was his duty, year
by year, to tell them the rate of the society, and Ito
elicit confess it was with varying feelings on each soul- ,
icreary hat be did so. Lest year he mast confess that
he hod very considerable doubt, or, at least, chartist,
with regard to the society. As Mr. Binghsrn had said,
there ers. • very oon•ideretile delthia.cry, which at the
time of their meeting last year eared them in the he..

Gould be no doubt that when the society lost the Lewes.

the assoitheken was able to work comfortably, providing
they did not ineroam their expenditure. But there
owed to b *earthing more than this, sod he felt very
strongly that the society ought to enlist the eympathies
of the laadowners, and espeoisily of the tenants in this
neighbourhood. He wee gore that whatever relight
hare been the original offset of the teaantry on the
society—though he believed there was jealousy wish

work of th.tr owe agricultural moieties and touched
many other Interests—that now the tenantry looked

With regard to the work of the &misty. he thooght
they might be very well 'ensiled with the newton state
of things ma to the competitioa. In the clam for allot.
meats and gardens the competition bral certainly Wen
more vigorous this year than for some years previouely.
The vegetal, show presented a large amount of taw-
petition. The number of specimens wee, he ther.ffht. As
great as he had ever teen, and some of them were very
line, whi • of the quality he was told that In some
varieties b«iter hsd neWr been shelve. 'The atteadance
at the whale was witainly as good es ever. For sow
Wars Pa.l It had not hems seti.feetoiy, but, on the
whole, he thought they might consider there
was some aotiv.ty in the parishes on that sub-
ject. As to the needlework, h• was lawny to
say that they bad 132 specimens from the different
whale, which was a considerable increase on U.
number on any former wegraion—(hear,hear)—so that he
thought they might venters to how the society was
reviving from the blow it had received, and {het they
might now look forward with a feeling of security and
mmad..noe—(hear, hear). He was happy to say two
new parishes hod joined the aasocdation this year—
Alton Panora* and Corns Abbas. That he thought
was gi good a piece of new, ag he could give them.
As the number of competing parishes increased so
the priamtsking specimens would be likely to increase
In excellence. There were now 29 parishes competing,
which was nearly half the number gmhrsord in the
distrista over which the gaiety's operations extended.
That he thought as very itatiatactory, and he thought
they wrald arse with him that they harl every reason
to be thankful that they were able this year to regent
such spend retort— (apples.).
Mr. J. F. Hodges mode • ice remarks. He was an
inspector with another gentleman of one of the districts,
and he reported that the general condi.ion of the allot-
ments ant garden... mon enconreging. On entering
each one they were led to remark on It. being in good
order and well kept, and this apart from the euperiority
of those to which prime were awarded. The general
tidiness and cleanliness of their cultivation wws • Yen
, marked improvement on former years. Thee one of
the grew object' of the twisty was attained to •
rtifyin eaten while it arorded advantage and
omfort to o the 141. ranrer and his family. As the good
reeulle of the working of the association !warns known,
he believed many wonld be led to contribute to ita
feeds. There were many evidenen that the interest
taken in the society ity the labourers themselves had
not abated, and the ethibitiong annually male
were the best proofs that their attention wan
devoted to the cultivation of their gardens and
she acquisition of priori. The show of the
present year was not law either in quantity or quality
than those preceding it. One cireninatance pr4bably
prevented It. being larger then heretofore, viz, the
decision of the wonmittes that • priattaker one year
should not be eligible for a prise for the same variety of
produce in the following tear. D.inbtleas the idea was
a good one, but the effect of that rule would he to
decrease the sixteen of the show, though it would have
the advantage of distributing the prima antonga a larger
number of persons, and thus extending the adapter-s
of the society. He would say to all who had exhibited
on that ocesslon, hut had not When prises. that they
would home greeter scope next year, while those who
were sinieesaful would, be felt sure, be widest to welt
till the year after next, if their lives were spared, to
exhibit again. In conclusion he said he trusted that
there might be many such shows as they had witnessed
on this occasion in conationion with this valuable mai
elation- - (applause).
The Chairmen, in acknowledging the vote of thanks,
said he had had much Pleasure in Wine preetalk ana he,
from looking over the schedule, ea. inducts,' to offer
one remark. He perceived that comparatively speaking
very few villages had received prima for vem-tableg,
while • very much beget number hod participatel in
premiums for needlework. This lie thought might he
attributable in some degree to the nature of the soil of
the parishes that had taken the vegetable prises, and
he thought it should be token into oonaderation that
the .11 of some of the retinue waa far inferior to that
of others—POMO mans of Was ifigetion being adopted
so that all the competitors might have an equal chance
of obtaining the prig-s offered—(hear, bear).
