leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages 0

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Maryland state Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
IN STATE AGRICULTURAL 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, aud 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 as good il not better than that OF others, and
that it behooves you to gaantly enter the list of
competition if defeated honorably, 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-
tiled 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
,oives and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, house
hold manufactures, the products Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard preserves domestic 'oines con)ec-
tions, and above all things to come themselves, as
,othout ,oon,a,, and the beautiful celebrations Of her
aste aud genius, display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and pntrl-
otism both combine to enjoln upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
ahinery of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States Of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
implement makers and Mechanics oPhe United STATES,
make it 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.
