wide reputation But in this age Of jostliog compsti'
ton, and strviDgs after superiority We have work TO
do We would retain for Cincinnati that pOsiio ID
which it has attained, and to which i s rightly en
tied. Already the wine men of Missouri, by their
prsisewOrthy enterprise end by tner offer OF
liberal premiums for the best samples OF wine
were attracting attention to 81. Luls es te depo, io

once Az Cincinnatisn he felt proud of It's repu,a-
ton II was already noted for being the greatest pork

vigorous life, money was necessary, and 1t cannot he
dispensed with.
Nr. Kelly then proposed that the yearly dues should
be resumed and that the amount should be increased
10 50.
Mr.. Yea'msn suggested 81. There were some vine
growers who would be glad to become members OF the
Association, but whose pecuniary circumstances
would render SO quite tsx especially when added TO
this sum they occasionally furnish to the members oil
the Asso citation two or three bottles OF wine TO be
tasted. To meet such cases, be for one was in favor
Of each member who furnished bottle of wine TO 10

proceed TO elect officers for the Association for the
ensuing year. This objected TO on the psIt OF MIR.
