"a. The Association has an ample fund, and will,
10 all cases, become responsible for the saie-keepDg
OIL articles which may be placed in the hands of its
ofiicers and committees, (the owner taking check
for the same,) until the close of the Fair, which

miums will be granted. However comprehensive
we might make any enumerated list there would
still be many articles of merit offered which would

miums Tor particular articles might be construed by
someinto an exclusion ofall articles unannounced,

observe, hat it is intended to give the action of
the Association tho very widest'scope, embI acing
every thing that is ingenious useful IN business
or art. All them 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

ces cup worth 50 will be given, on the third best
