and provide for their future, and keep pace with
the times in the selection Of such attractions for
the various Camp rooms and club rooms attached

in no instance has this been done in better shape
than with Gen. Joha +. Reynolds Camp, T. Phila-
del phia The large elub-roOm attached to their
Cam D. room has been made doubly attractive by
the addition Of billiard and pool tables and various
other attractions will be added as fast practicable

AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION.
from the ArgoSy, February u

The Berblce Exhibition, which was opened
by the Governor on Wednesday last week, and
remained open two days, is regarded by
those who took part in it as a complete sue
cess, and the County is to be congratulated
accordingly. We never had any misgivings
about the ultimate result, for the Berbice
people are animated by an esprit. de corps
such as would be looked for in vain in Deme-
rara, and which had only to be appealed to
and awakened to beget a hearty response. La
districts where interest seemed to be tagging,
the Sheriff or some other authority harangued
and encouraged the people, and always with
the happie5t Of results. The consequence of
the combined efforts was that when the day
of opening arrived it was found that the hall
selected for the exhibition was too small to
provide accommodation for all of the articles
the people had brought to show. True.
there We're many articles for which room had
to be provided that were. not worth the room
they required, but it would have been ungrac-
ious to have refused them; and in this respect
the Berbice exhibition was in no whit differ
ent from the most pretentious exhibitions in
the great centres of the world. OF articles
which one would gladly have seen in large
quantities, or, rather, III numerous samples.
there was a regrettable absence-as for. in,
stance, coffee, native corn meal, dried bananas.
guava jelly, grapes, garden vegetah le and so
on and for the sake of encouraging the peo-
pie to engage in the industries represented by
these and other colonial products, it would be
j~udicious to have another com o%etitive exhibi.
ton before long. The people have shown an
unmistakable disposition to do their best to
make an exhibition successful, and though
their best at present is not very good, it re-
quires only time and experience to lead them
on to better things. What they require to
learn is the immense value of the products of
their native soil, when these are grown with
regularity and care, and manipulated with
such skill as can easily be acquired by prac-
tice. For instance, the Berbice coffee could
at the present day fetch a price in the big
markets IN the world which would give as
paying a return to the grower as the same
coffee gave in the older days when its name
