miums will be granted However comprehensive
, we might make any cnumei iatcd list there would
still be many articles OF merit offered which would
not be embraced in IL, and yet richly deserving

someinto an exclusion Of all articles u,iannounced,
the Committee requests the people generally 10
observe, hat it is intended to give the action OF
the Association the very widest scope, embracing
svery 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
is that on all articles OF the highest merit In the
