Report of the Agricultural Committee. 29. 



sides two samples of very superior sugar, with one of which the 

 property carriedoff, forthe second time, the Society's Second 

 Gold Medal, Mr. Langlois' contributed, Manioc, Mais, Pala- 

 tes, and a very superior team of Creole Oxen. The Com- 

 mittee trusts that Mr. Langlois example, in attending to, 

 and encouraging General Cultivation, will be followed by 

 many of his brother Planters; and that his efforts to improve 

 his staple produce will meet with that success which his 

 enterprize deserves. 



With these preliminary observations, which the Com- 

 mittee hopes will not be found v^ithout effect in encouraging 

 the important objects of its mission, it will now proceed to 

 report in detail upon the Exhibition. 



As has been already observed at the commencement of 

 this Report, the attendance was more numerous, and the 

 receipts (£ 75 19 6) larger than those of any preceding 

 show. The number of Exhibitors, exclusive of those of 

 Sugar, was 173, which is also greater than upon former 

 occasions. 



The Prizes offered by the Society were 68 in number, 

 and amounted to £ 104' 19, exclusive of extra prizes, and 

 of the Medals for Sugar. For 19 there was no competition, 

 but 53 extra prizes were awarded, and the total amount of 

 prizes was £ 87. 2. 8. 



The members of the Committee take this opportunity of 

 returning their best thanks to the Gentlemen who were so 

 good as to act as Judges on the occasion, and to those who 

 favored them with their assistance in the arrangements, 

 which were somewhat more extensive than those of pre- 

 vious Exhibitions, owing to the Sugar show having been 

 held at the same time.
