that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
Oath, and 25th days Of October, your Society Will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city Of
Baltimore: and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your stock,
the ,roducts of your orchards and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
NAV own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
onlv bv comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for YOU to arrive at, will be that what you have
ID as good, il not better than that of others, and
that il behooves you to galantly enter the list or
competition: if defeated honorably. and the high
character Of the judges is guarantee tnat you
can be defeated in no other way, you will ENJOY
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission TO solicit your interest, to induce your
,oiues and daughters to bring whatever appertains
To their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold nas,taetures, the products Of the dairy ana cT
the poultry yard preserves, domestic wthts coec-
tioms, and, above all things to come themselves, as
sc,ho,t ,cosa., and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
taste end genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and pntri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro-
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chrery of all kinds, as from our present ndvices,
We are led to believe that the assembage of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States Of the Union, Will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say 10 the .4gr1cuiurof
Iuuleent makers and Mechanics orfhe United States,
make it a matter Of pride to display your machi-
nerv at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart
