AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
FIRST ANNUAL EXHIBITION!
AWARD OF PREMIUMS.
In making this', , our first report, it will be
remembered that all the members of the soci•
ety, as well as the judges who passed upon
the articles submitted to them, have had very
little experience in the practical busitus of
an Agricultural Exhibition - None of us an
ticipated the difficulties which attend it, and
it must be,acknowledged that adequate pre
partitions Were not made, because we did not
anticipate that there would be so much inter
est taken, and so large and beautiful a display
made. It should not, therefore, be now ex
pected that special notice he taken of every
article exhibited. It was found wholly 4 irn.
practicable by the Committees, to some of
whom too much work was committed, to not e
in their reports the numerous contributions.
Where so many splendid articles were exhibi
ted and all CO come under the notice of one
Committee, we must be indulged fut the owls.
don of many artielos by the judges, and
promise fur ourselves that next year our ex
perieuce will enable us so to subdivide the
labor, by a different classification of the arti
cles, that every thing tf merit shall receive
the notice to which it may be entitled. We
append a summary of the reports of the vari
ous Committees. GEO. 11. BUCHER.

the competitors wben all were so good. The
committee came to the conclusion that in, or•
der to decide which were the three best ears of
corn it was necessary for them to take into
consideration any and every good and bad
quality that the corn had. Size, quality, pro
doctiveness and adaptation-: : to the climate,
were all qualities which entered into the com
.,,t?
petition d were consider&l by the Cpmmit
tee. d inasmuch as we had no discretion
to notic my but the first best, we make our
award in favor of diet produced by George
Ilea, of West Pennshoro township We can
not: however, in justice to the competitors,
close our report without noticing sonic of the
other lots of corn exhibited to us. That pro
duced by Thomas Lee was of greater size than
any other—that by J. P. Kosht was so nearly
equal to the best that it - was difficult to decide
between diem, and the white corn shown by T.
U. Chambers, was of a quality which deserves
commendation as being very superior of its
kind. To decide between 130 lots of corn was
no easy task.

In this department the exhibition was splen
did and exceedingly creditable to the ladies of
Cumberland county. The Society feels under
obligations to them, and only regrets that they
cannot go more into detail in d&sbribing their
excellency and practical utility. We hope
next year to have our committees so extended
as to be able to notice every article and give
it the credit to which it is entitled. In this
department many articles were exhibited which
our schedule of premiums did not provide for.
The omission to name them must not be con
strued into any want of appreciation of their
merits.
