LAKE SHORE GRAPE GROWERS ASSOCIATION.
The Executive Committee of this Society
had a full meeting in this city yesterday,
and prepared the list of premiums and reg
~ulations for their annual exhibition OF
grapes and wines, which is to be held In
this city early in October next.
The Committee also appointed a summer
meeting Of the society to be held at San
dusky in August, to include an excursion to
the Islands, for inspecting the vineyards in
those parts.
1t was also agreed that the Executive
Committee, with such others as choose,
should make a tour of inspection of the
vineyards and warehouses along the Lake
Shore, at such points as they may elect,
from Cleveland or Dover Bay to Fredonia,
New York, during the month of August
notice Of the time, &C., to be given in the
newspapers.
Captain spslding, of this city, said he
should be glad to participate with the So
ciety or the committee in their summer
excursions, but his route was a little be-
yond the raage of the society's field of op-
erations; but if at any time when his vessel
1.-THE steamer Lac La Belle was starting on
her trip for Lake SUPERIOR the society OF
committee would accepts ride from Cleve-
land to Keliey's Island, it would give him
pleasure to accommodate them. Some Of
the committee expressed the hope that cir
cumstances might allow of the acceptance
of this generous offer.
Mr.. Bateham, the Secretary, read a letter
from J.. P. LippincOtt of Haddonsheld N.
J., who had been devoting considerable at
tention to the subject of the influence
Of atmospheric moisture in the vicinity Of
lakes and rivers on the fruit crep of their
shores. Mr.. L. expresses a desire that more
numerous and reliable observations should
be made along the south shore of Lake
Erie in regard to the temperature and
winds not only, but especially the hygro-
metric state of the atmosphere, &c. He
says that Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian
Institute, is ready to furnish suitable in
struments to suitable persons who will I'M
dertake to make regular observations and
report them to the Institute.
The committee instructed the Secretary
to call the attention of scientific men to
this subject, and endeavor to induce some
of them to comply with the laudable sug-
gestions Of Mr.. Lippineott.
The committee also instructed the Presi-
dent and Secretary to issue g circular to the
manufacturers of wines in this country
calling their attention to the Importance of
having good samples of our native wines

pies for this purpose to Nj. William Crit
