It'll. Premiums 1T is impossible to name in a no
tice like this all the various articles TO which pre-
| miums VIII 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 IL, and yet richly deserving
premiums, lest therefore the announcement of pre-
miums for particular articles migttbc construed by
someinto an exclusion OF all articles unannounced

observe, hat il is intended to give the action of
the Association the very widest-scope, embl acing
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
pements, and valuable improvements or inventions

worth s 10 will be given on the second best arti-

this institution indeed what it's in name a Southern
Central Agrio ultural Association.
