think they can overcome by personal
abuse criticisms intended only for the
good OF the association, they will find

II 10 no answer to my objection, that
last year there was greater disparity
in the premiums offered; such u state
nient but gives greater force TO my OBJ
lection.
The exhibitions IL this association
have always been maintained by the
liberality OF the people Of Albuquerque
II may bs that the premiums offered for
mining, agricultural and horticultural
exhibits are IA liberal AZ the people can
afford or ought toaive, bat the disparity
