horticultural Exhibition.

| oeen emnently successful, III every point OF
view. The long continued summer drought,
extending even into the autumn, had created
serious fears of partial failure. Many kinds
of fruit seriously felt its effects especially the
pear, the growth of which seemed almost sus-
| pended for some time, yet the subsequent ia
| vorable weather so nearly recovered them,
! that the fruit exhibition would compare well
in quality with that of any former year, while
quantity, it was the largest exhibition ever
made by the Society. We have not space,
this morning, for details, but will merely an
mex the list of Premiums.
The Exhibition will continue through this
day and evening, and the sale of fruit will
take place tomorrow morning.
