In this department considerable rtegularity ex.
isied, which we hope viii be obviated another
year. The contributors, in direct violation Of
the rules III the society, commenced removing
their productions early on tbe irst day of the

committee was somew bat anss 10 making known
their eeeisi0n, which IS to be regretted, aud we
pledge ourselves thai at the next exh btion more
systematic plan shall be adopted in this depart
ment The eompiitee respectfully report that
after careful examination Of the articles, they
have awarded tie premiums as follows
