Weekly meetings of the Society, in connection with the Horticultural 

 Society of the City of Adrian, were held every Friday afternoon, by 

 the Fruit Committee, for the exhibition and comparison of horticultu- 

 ral productions. These meetings were well attended during the entire 

 season, and the ladicvs, as usual, contributed their share to the interest 

 of the Society. The show of fruit at the weekly meetings and at the 

 Fair, was good, and far better thaji could have been anticipated at the 

 commencement of the season.

 October, and was by far the most successful and most numerously at- 

 tended of any yet held.
