THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Maryland State Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERs OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AoRIcULTURAL SocIErY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d
oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
The products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as good, if not better than that OF others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list Of
competition I: if defeated honoraby, and the high
character Of the judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
tled TO success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission TO solicit your interest, to induce your
pipes and daughters to brig whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mouse
hold actures, the proaueis Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic icines confec
tionS, and, above all things, to come themselves, as
plthout poman, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
asie and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
aud Tools, We would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine 10 enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery Of all kinds, from our present advices,
we are led 10 believe that the assemblage Of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will he
greater than upon any former occasion here OF
elsewhere. We therefore say 10 the agricultural
IHpIegeni makers aud Mechanics the United STATES,
make il a matter OF pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.
