tice 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 it, and yet richly deserving
premiums, lest therefore the announcement of pre-
miums for particular articles might be construed by
! someinto exclusion OF all articles unannounced
the Committee requests the people generally to
observe, hat it is intended to give the action Of
the Association the very widest scope embracing
syery thing that is ingenious or useful in bGsiness
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
department of Stock Mechanics, Agricultural I'm
pements, and valuable improvements or inventions
in any of the departments, premium OF cup
worth 10 will DO given on The second best arti.
EcIes cup worth will be given on the third best

ments a cup worth will be given; on the second
best 9. So on the third an honor; on The fourth,
I'd honor. On miner and miscellaneous articles,
premiums from one to three dollars--these how
ever general regulations, and in particular
or cases of peculiar merit the committees will be
permitted, indeed are requested, to vary the rule

point induce us to invite, and to expect the pre-
sence and contributions Of many of our fellow
