tce like this all, the various articles 10 which pre-
miums Will be granted. However comprehensive
we might make any enumerated list there would
still be many articles Of merit offered which would
not be embraced in il, and yet richly deserving
premiums, lest therefore the announcement Of pre-
miums for particular articles might be CO. srued by
some into an exclusion ofall articles unannounced,
the Committee requests the people generally TO
observe, hat it is intended to give tie action of
the Association the very widest scope, embracing
every thing that is ingenious useful in business
or art All then, with whatever they have for sale
or exhibition, are invited to come. The only
regulation further necessary on this point perhaps
Isl that all articles of the highest merit in the
department OF Stock, Mechanics, Agricultural I'm
plements, and valuable improvements or inventions

worth 10 will be given; on the second best arti-
cles cup worth viii be given, on the third best

Dents cup worth y S will be given on the second

9th. The facilities of getting to this central
point induce us to invite, and to expect the pre-
sence and contributions of many OF our fellow

this institution indeed what tits in name, Southern
Central Agricultural Association.
