NEWBORN HOR TTCCLTURAL SOCIE-
TVS EXHIBITION.

yesterday at Clifton Hall is worthy of note IN several
points Of view. In the first place it is the show of
society numbering some three hundred paying men,
bers in the metropolis Of America at season OF the
year when earths plants in full bloom aud when
every gardener who cultivates vegetables for the city
market should boast Of his abundant productions
The stranger TO New-York and its society, social a.
well as horticultural, will at conclude that men
prompted By such unity OF interest and with so
many associated together for special purpose,
that horticultural show in NewYork would
be an object worthy of a long journey to behold
society having published mort liberal list of pre-
niums, it was natural cupdity would be attracted
vel H. tie pride OF winning in sucn exhibition
that the largest hail that could be obtainei for the
purpose would be We filed with fruits aud flowers md
cowd.d with visi'ors. How the worshipper Of
plants would enjoy show where he would find some
thing new-bOw the worshper a. FJra's shrine wOid
oeit ht to roam in her ieam-how tue city gOurmsnd
would smack his lips and gloa his eyes the bss-
kes, boxes, piles and hampers Of vegetables brought
in not only to compete for the prizes, but to show hox
rich and abundant were earths productions, and TO
make up exhibition for New York to be proud of.
The gourmsnd might smack his lips after he had
the whole catalogue of garden vegetables the
exhibition but it would be 10 express his dss 4sf4c-
ton at the meageiness of the meal. In this branch
the show is not contemplate, it Is entirely beneath
contempt. There is not al old woman sitting 10 mar
ke that would hot feel ashamed of her table so meany
