The Report of the Committee of Arrangements Of
the Fall Exhibition held at Metropolitan Hall, Sept 81
- ard % was submitted and read by Mr. Mead, an
abstract of which is given below:
Among the many exhibitions which have taken
place this fall that of the New-York Horticultural So
ciety occupies mean place The fact that New
York can get ups good Horticultural show, Is longer
matter Of csvil Any doubts which may have been
entertained whether the rGtaytdi could be found to
make respectable show, must have been scattered to
the winds by the exhibition which has just closed
Not only has the material been found, bur also the
spirit TO bring it out The Committee would not be
misunderstood. They do not mean to say that either
the material or the spirit il what should be in this
great center Of commerce and wealth but enough has
been done to prove concusively thai both exist how
l.. 4
into activity to make NewYork the first city in refine
ment and taste, IS already il in and wealth.
! Whether the efforts of the New-York Horticultural
Society will be successful, in aiding communication 30
devoury to be wished, remains to be seen. Much will
DEPEND upon the direction given TO those efforts and
nor less upon the spirit by which they directed
| The documents which accompany this Report VIII
show the receipts of the exhibition well vouchers
| for each item of expense, however small The Com
iitee have been the more particular IN this respect IN
order that the Society may know fully for what and how
is money has been spent 1t will be seen TAFT the gross
receipts amount 70 S995 ~ the expenses TO sl097 o.
II may surprise in some that the expenses tho
present occasion should much exceed those OF the
| Spring exhibition. The reason Off i-:-ln the first
place, the Committee had to pay 800 day for the
| Hall The next considerable item il the expense in.
CURED for additional fixtures bur thcsearc OF aper.
msnent character, and embrace almost everything
wanted for many years, for The most extended exhi.
| bitiors.
Another item of some imaginable consists Of money
! expended for advertising and printing These three
items constitute very considerable share OF the ex.
| penses incurred BY the Committee. The Committee
would suggest that the first item might be greatly re-
duced in future by holding the exhibitions under tent
The hcCt Of the Committee has been 10 avoid all
necessary expenses ut the sumo time they were &C.
uated more by desire to get up exhibition that
would give character 10 the society, than to put few
dollars into the Treasury When sufficient funds shall
have been accumulated, by donation otherwise, it is
the design OF the Society 70 found Botanical Garden of
/ which NevYork shall be proud.
Ii X vain to LOOK totaC Lcgsturc for tue means TO
establish garden of this kind it must either depend
upon individual eXcrtlOn upon the society," aided by
donations end pubic patronage Several publcspirited
and we6thy gentlemen have expressed Willingness to
donate - for such purpose and cam bc doubted
when the society and ire objects become better known
/ others VIII also lie ready to contribute. When 1t be-
comcs generally known that tho Society purposes the e.
Enlistment Of garden for the advancement of botanic
.cicuce and taste and that such garden Will be not less
an ornamcutothc City than ogalu place ofpubic re-
