The report of the General Committee on the Premium List being 

 the special order of the day, it was taken up, and its adoption moved 

 by Mr. Green. 



Mr. Heaver moved to amend, by saying that the additional pre- 

 miums recommended by the committee be adopted with the same pro- 

 portional addition to the premiums on flowers as recommended on 

 fruits and vegetables. 



Mr. Mears moved that the aggregate of premiums for fruits and 

 flowers be made equal. 



The amendments, after much discussion, were lost. 



On motion of Dr. Mosiier, the report of the committee was 

 amended so as to make the premiums for flowers the same as they were 

 last year, and fruits and vegetables, as at present reported by the 

 committee, and the report as thus amended was adopted. 



Fruits exhibited by Mr. Buchanan : Pears— The German Musk 

 and Messieur John in fine preservation.
