It'll. Premiums. 1t is impossible to name in ano-
tce 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-
mums for particular articles might be construed by
someinto 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, embr 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 on all articles Of the highest merit in the
department ct Stock, Mechanics, Agricultural I'M
plements, and valuable improvements or inventions
in any of the departments, premium Of q cup
worth 10 will be given; on the second best arti-
ces cup worth S will be given .on the third best
