From the Treasurer's Report, it appears that the financial affairs of the Society are in a flour- 

 ishing condition. The Real Estate, consisting of Horticultural Hall and the lot on which it is 

 situated, has cost the Society about $20,000, on account of which they owe about $12,400. Tlie 

 builaing brings an annual rent of $1,600, with the reservation, for the use of the Society, of the 

 apartment, when the weekly exhibitions and the meetings of the Society and Trusteee are held, 

 and also of the main hall for one week, for the annual exhibition. 



Admission fees of new members, $161 00 



Admission tickets to exhibition, 532 23 



Sale of Fruits, <fec., at auction, 56 83 



Tlie Treasurer reports that $600 of the debt was paid last October, and that $500 more may be 

 paid in April, and $'700 in October; this, as we understand, is a reduction of so much of the 

 principal in addition to the interest. With the income of the Society, the whole debt will be 

 paid off in a few years, le.aving them their fine Hall building, yielding an annual rent of $1,600 

 a year, clear of all incumbrances. — Massachusetts Spt/.

Auburn is one of those quiet, pretty towns, in the midst of a fertUe and beautiful region 

 of country, where horticulture may be expected to receive a large share of attention. There 

 are many good gardens there now, and a large number of zealous aad tasteful araatem-s, 

 who will ensure success to the Cayuga Society.
