Horticultural Exhibition.-The an
nual exhibition of the Horticultural Asso-
citation of Sandy Spring took place on Fri
day last, and as singular fact no exhibition
OF the same, we learn, has ever been inter-
tered with by rainy weather. Nature APP
peared to vie in this instance with the wishes
OF those who had taken so much pains to
make the exhibition a success and shone
forth smiling face
The beautifully decorated hall with its
motto, Words are but leaves; Deeds are
the fruits; )" the abundant and exquisite dis
play of flowers, hanging baskets and varia-
gated plants, the vegetables, fruits and cakes,
all combined to produce harmonious and
admirable effect. The most delightful part
perhaps, was the large attendance OF the citi-
zens of the county, far and near, and some
from Howard and Prince Georges coun-
ties and Baltimore and Washington cities
1t was most pleasant gathering of friends
and neighbors under the fine old forest trees.
Venerable age, vigorous manhood and hap
py children, with young ladies vieing
with the flowers in loneliness, united in
the enjoyment of the afternoon. After time
had been allowed for examining the exhibit,
MIR. Henry G. Hallowell, President of the So
clety, made some remarks, and called upon
Messrs. +. j. Hall and VIM. ii. Farquhar
each of whom said a few pleasant words.
Mr.. Hallowell impressed upon the audience
the Importance of supporting cordially our
County Fair. Letters Of regret were re-
ceived from Charles Albert, Esq, and Jos.
II. Bradley, Esq, who often attend, but were
detained by business engagements. Hon A.
b. Davis, who also enjoys these annual
gatherings, was kept at home by an acct
dent Altogether the exhibition was sue
cess, as usual, and we wish similar organi-
cations could be established in other por-
tons of our county.
