(Continued from Page 237.) 



Cincinnati, Saturday, April 25. 

 President in the chair. 



The minutes being read, the President suggested a matter of error 

 in the report of the Fruit Committee of last week, in calling the 

 "Northern Spy" apple "sweet; " and the report, on consideration, 

 was amended so as to read, " suh-acid," instead of "siveet." 



After some communications from the Corresponding Secretary, 

 the order of the day was called, on Mr. Cary's resolution, as to 

 holding the fall exhibition ; and Mr. Stoms moved the suspension 

 of the rules, to afford an opportunity for Mr. Hedges to make an 

 exhibition of sugar produced from the Chinese and African varie- 

 ties of the Sugar-cane, with some explanations concerning the same. 



Mr. HED(iE.s came forward and made some interesting remarks on 

 this interesting subject 



Time failing Mr. Hedges to complete his remarks, on motion of 

 Mr. Foote, the special order of the day was renewed, and Mr. 

 Hedges was invited to address the Society more at length at our 

 next meeting.
