choice articles, or who make them for sale such
as choice seeds, machines, stock, &c--to carry
them there for SALE and not alone for exhibition for
premium.
tee like this all, the various articles to 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-
miums for particular articles might be construed by
someinto an exclusion ofall articles unannounced,
the Committee requests the people generally to
observe, hat it is intended to give the action of
the Association the very widest'scopc, embr acing
every thing that is ingenious useful business
art. All then, with whatever they have for sale
or exhibition, are invited to come. The only
regulation further necessary this point perhaps
is, that, on 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 a cup
worth III will be given on the second best arti-
50. so on the fourth an honor. And on all arti-
cles of the highest merit in the remaining depart
ments cup worth 5 will be given; on the second
best 8 9. SO on the third an honor on the fourth
Cd honor. On MINER and miscellaneous articles,
premiums from one TO three dollars---these, how

point induce us'to invite, and to expect the pre-
