OBSERVE hat it is intended to give the action of
the Association the very widest'scope, embracing
every thing that is ingenious or 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, all articles of the highest merit in the
department OF Stock, Mechanics, Agricultural I'm
plements, and valuable improvements or inventions
in any of the departments, premium of cup
worth 10 will be given on the second best arti-
ces cup worth S will be given on the third best

best g. 50 on the third an honor; on the fourth,
I'd honor. On miner and scellaneous articles,

ever are general regulations, and in particular case
or cases of peculiar merit the committees will be
