tice like this ALL the various articles 10 which pre-
miums will 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 it, and yet richly deserving
premiums, lest therefore the announcement of pre-
mums for particular articles might be construed by
somento an exclusion Of all articles unannounced,
the Committee requests the people generally to
observe, hat it is intended to give the action of
the Association the very widest.scope, embracing
every thing that is ingenious useful In business
art. All then, with whatever they have for sale
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-
cles cup worth will be given on the third best

cles of the highest merit in the remaining depart
ments a cup worth : will be given on the second
