KANSAS AND MISSOURI FRUIT EX
HIBITION.
A True Statement Of the Facts Proceed
ing and Attending this Exhibition.

On the 18th day of August,
1872, called meeting of the Mis-
souri, horticultural society was
held at the Office of the president
thereof, in st. Joseph, when it was
unanimously resolved that the So
ciety make collection of the fruit
of Missouri to be exhibited at the
Kansas state fair at Topeka, Sept.
10Th, 1872. A committee consist
ing of d. L. Hall, of Kansas City,
j. A. Storm and L. g. Munger, of
st. Joseph, w. E Mcbride, of In
dependence, o. II. p. Lear, of
Hannibal, and VIM. Muir, of St.
Louis, was appointed to collect
and exhibit the fruits, with full
authority to use such means as
might be necessary to carry out
the objects to be arrived at.
The president and secretary of
the society were authorized to
draw on the treasurer for an
amount not exceeding $500, to de-
fray the necessary expenses for
collecting and exhibiting said
fruits.
Their circular further states,
that, with the hearty cooperation
of the horticulturists of the state,
it is. believed that the finest exhi-
bition of fruit ever made IN the
west can be obtained.
In reply to this circular, thus
throwing down the gauntlet, the
Kansas state horticultural society,
through their president and secre-
tary, called upon the fruit grow
ers of Kanses to come to the res
cue.

REMARKs.

1t viii be seen from the above
statements of facts, that all the de-
lay complained of was justly
chargeable to the Missouri dele
CATION from Wednesday noon to
the final award. They resorted to
various stratagems and devices to
staye off a decision, that they might
at least have it to say, that it was
a draw game. They persistently
refused TO accede to any thing of
fered them by the board Of agris
culture for bringing the matter to
q close and on two occasions
backed down squarely from their
own propositions, after they were
acceded to by Kansas. We should
not, under other circumstances,
have deemed it necessary to make
the foregoing statements, but such
has been the Misrepresentation OF
the press in the interests of Mis-
souri, that we should feel that we
were wholly inexcusable to remain
silent. We feel, as the presiding
officer of the Kansas state hortf-
cultural society, that it is our du-
ty, as far as we can, TO guard and
protect the interests eff our oFgani-
cation. WV. II. HowsEEY,
